As Etsy As 3.2.1

Yip! Yip! Yikes! Yay! 

Well, it’s taken me a bit longer than I had initially hoped but I’ve just launched my new shop on Etsy. It’s very much still in the startup phase but I think things should pick up from here. I will be posting more listings over the next few days but some of my favourite pieces are up now!

Spring Clean

Hello Spring! Hopefully you are finally here to stay! After running a 5k on Sunday with ice and snow pelting into my eyeballs (fun), I have really enjoyed the nicer days this week. 

I spent quite a bit of my newfound free time at the studio last week and did some long overdue cleaning. I have never had a neater cubby! It was so nice coming in the following day to work. Now to keep it this way . . . at least for a while. Oh – and I got some new clay and underglazes to play with!

Work in progress . . . In addition to cleaning, I also made some pretty messes. I love how the two different clays I was working with ran together off the wheel.  And, it seems I really want to go to the beach after this long winter – I don’t think either of these molds were meant to be beach themed but together they remind me of sea sponges and star fish along the shore. 

New Year, New Thinks, New Etsy?

Happy 2014! 

Yes, I do know that it is already one week into March – but I am a little less clear on how quickly the first couple of months have disappeared! It has been an odd year so far but one that is possibly shaping up to be quite interesting. I am in the process of a fairly big change which will hopefully include more time for pottery and has me a little more serious about creating a more real and professional online presence. More to come on that. But, for now, a few newer pieces and a promise to update this site more regularly. 
Here’s to a warmer and maybe even sunshiny weekend!
