Pieces, parts and unanswered questions
Above shows a nice new batch of molds that I made last week. I am always adding to my collection. Some designs become favorites and others get pushed to the side. At this point I must have over 300 different designs made from all kinds of found objects. I love my molds. :)

Challenge - Farbstudie Quadrate by Kandinsky

You see, I have a very bad habit. I come up with designs, I make the porcelain pieces for that design, and then I let those pieces sit for weeks, months, and yes, even years. Sometimes for me the thrill of creating is simply coming up with an idea. I am a fabulous starter and a less than fabulous finisher. Sometimes. Sometimes I kick much ass in the way of follow-through. This was not one of those times. I came up with this necklace design around 4 months ago and immediately made a ton of circles in varying sizes and colors. I played around with them, stacked them and envisioned just how I wanted the final piece to look.... and then I tucked them away in their little storage box and promptly moved on to the next impulse.

New jewelry porn and yes, it rained alllll day
The Strawberry Festival went as I expected. It rained all day long. It rained steady and strong. It rained with conviction. The rain was so dedicated to its cause that there was really nothing else to do but sit on the porch with some friends and drink daiquiris all day. And that was just fine. Sales wise I think I may have actually done better than most thanks to some supportive neighbors and a few brave folks sporting hip waders.
Next up is a smaller, simpler version of the heart necklace I made for the Bead Star competition (above). I really love the heart links that I designed for that piece so I have made them again. I plan on making some bracelets and earrings using this link as well - it's just so darn cute!

Glaze porn and a veggie garden
Some of you may have noticed that my raised beds are actually repurposed bookcases. They work like a charm!
