DIY Nature Wreaths

It’s a lovely frosty day today, the grass is still crunchy from this morning. We’ve had a little sprinkling of snow this weekend, but nothing major yet. I’m enjoying this relaxing Sunday! Earlier I made this wreath using a collection of pine cones. I got the idea from Maya’s inspiring blog. They are so simple […]

Surface Decoration

Can you guess what these close up images are of? Regular readers of my blog may have recognised the detailed surface decoration above to be close up sections of my ceramic heart bowls. I was waiting impatiently for these to come out of the kiln last week! The melted glass in the bases makes the […]

Winter Walk

I can’t believe how quickly the autumn leaves are falling from the trees. The gorgeous red, yellow and orange colours from the leaves are a rare treat when autumn comes, because they are all gone before you know it! That Christmassy feeling is definitely in the air now, there are Christmas songs being played in […]

Commissioned Vase

This vase was made as a Christmas gift for the customers Mum. She gave me the wording she wanted to be engraved and trailed around the vase, and I think it has turned out quite nice. The overall finish is definitely organic and natural. I love the subtle effects of the surface decoration, it reminds […]

New Wind Chimes

When I had the chance to sit down at my stall at the balloon fiesta last week, I managed to make some new hanging mobiles / wind chimes. I’m glad I took all my bits and bobs for making these, it felt good to make things that didn’t involve getting clay all over myself! I […]

Collecting Nature

I couldn’t help noticing many of nature’s organic objects at our local country park whilst we were out walking this evening. I’m terrible for picking things up, inspecting them, and usually popping them in my carrier bag for use as inspiration. (I do wash my hands when I get home!) At the moment I’m currently […]

Beach Sculptures & Barbara Hepworth

The other day I was browsing through some of my favourite blogs and came across these photographs of naturally sculpted beach posts by Heather of Niftyknits. Heather captured these weathered posts beautifully whilst sitting on an empty beach in Rye enjoying a picnic. I almost want to be there in the photographs to examine the […]

Pistachio Nut Shell Results!

Do you remember the experiment I was working on about a month ago, using pistachio nut shells in clay? Well the results are finally here – I initially made a round pot and a flat dish to try out the effects. What do you think? The pot sold at the craft fair I was at […]

Joined Etsy & Featured in a Treasury!

I decided to join Etsy a few days ago, I thought it would be good to start getting my work noticed worldwide as well as in the UK. I’m really enjoying my experience of Etsy so far, there is so much to learn and I’m discovering new inspiring things every day. You might have noticed […]
