More new work and new glazes!
I made a few flower pots and I tried out a new olive green glaze. I definitely love the peacock blue glaze below. On the fence with the olive. I like it but I'm not always in to earthy colors. Again please leave comments below. Thanks!

New work in progress.

Soap dishes. Both the classic rectangle shape and a new leaf shaped dish.

I have a new line of jewelry for the summer. It includes both handmade ceramic pendants and beaded work. I had missed making jewelry and enjoyed getting back into things. I will be listing a few on etsy each week so check back often. The new lined is called "Wareables". I feel they are directly related to my other ceramic wares.

I am also on the twitter bandwagon. I know, I know. But I hope to use it to network for art and I would like to post promotions for my followers so you can find me at cleveland_grl.

I've been working on a new business card. What do you think? Of course I didn't post the backside with my phone number...why? Because this is the internet! So you will just have to imagine it.

In other exciting news I will be participating in the Randolph Street Market in Chicago! I will be there on July 25 & 26. I'm excited to be in a show outside of Ohio. Not that I don't love it here but it will be nice to display my work to a new audience.

I have also been work on a line of "Wareables". Ceramic jewelry and even some beaded items. These will be listed on etsy in the near future. I missed making jewelry and have been slowly playing with PMC. Images to come soon. I also need to learn how to post new images to my webpage gallery. I have so much new work and I need to get those images on the site this summer.

purpley vases. they look kinda blue in this picture but unfortunately this glaze doesn't photograph well in natural light.

sometimes i stay at home (or the studio) so i'm not disappointed by life. here is something i make when i'm hiding.

A sneak peek of work that will be on display May 2nd during Rutabaga Nights, the LEAF Benefit (my studio on the 3rd floor will be open) and May 9th for the official Lake Erie Screw Factory Open Studio.


I think I need to make more teapots. I'm happy with how they turned out. One needs a refire for a slight glaze issue but I am confident it will survive looking foxier than ever.

liking the mugs. on the fence with the bowls. i hope to have a bisque ready by sat. and i need to sort out new work for a gallery in little italy. so much to do.

while i was ignoring you...

i was making these things.

I am very excited I can get back to my studio this week and next to throw some new pieces. I haven't made anything since early December. I had been consumed with both preparing for and participating in shows. I have lots of clay waiting and new glazes in transit.

Lots to share. First of all please stop by Art House on Saturday from 11-5 for their annual holiday sale. Visit http://www.arthouseinc.org for all the info.

Planet Green in Rocky River is now carrying my work. They are located at 19056 Old Detroit Rd. This shop is amazing. It is a healthy mix of handmade items and commercial items all green, of course. Check out the gorgeous handmade furniture made from reclaimed lumber. Not to mention all of those green products smell amazing.
