The people responsible for commissioning my swallow porcelain wall art for this piece sent me these images over of the installed work, so here they are installed :)<br />

<br />
In this case, my wall art became ceiling art! I hope that they will in some way help, or at least distract, the people using the space for treatment. Art in healthcare is very important to me - the people close to me know that I have had my share of treatment, and I think art can help in small ways. It can't always make things right admittedly - I am not about to say that it can. But in my case, I found it gave my mind a place to wander to, and that momentarily helped me to forget that there was a drip in my arm, and that was a help. It helped me to feel less afraid, even if just for a few moments at a time. Equally, for carers it is important. I took a friend for some medical treatment recently and whilst I was pacing around the corridor, worrying and waiting for him to come out, the artwork on the walls again distracted me and soothed my mind. So I really cannot say how happy it makes me to think that I may have played a part in paying it forward. I hope to do more in this field in the future and have recently had further enquiries so fingers crossed!<br />

Rose quartz, and serenity, a soft pastel pink and a balancing blue.<br />

<br />
After last year's marsala burgundy, this comes as a light, uplifting and hopeful choice. If I am honest, by the time the marsala was named last year, I was totally bored of the hue, as in the UK it had been done to death for well over a year by then on clothing. Perhaps it's personal - it just doesn't suit my colouring!<br />
This soft springy combination reminds me of a photo I took in Asia on my travels a few years ago. It was dusk, it was warm, the sea was like a pond, barely even a wave with just the teeniest breeze on the beach.<br />
<br />

<br />
(The little black speck is fishermen in a little circular basket boat.)<br />
I guess that is how that combination makes me feel, and whilst I love that, I also love the pink mixed with greys and a maybe touch of (dare I say it) marsala, with copper, black or dark gold accessories, like these combos found on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/elizabethprince" target="_blank">pinterest</a> via www.love4home.eu :<br />

We are running low on all our Christmas ornaments - just cannot make them fast enough this year! Our new pineapples are a cheeky nod to antique Victorian decorative pineapples - they're large and feel generous on a Christmas tree. Hope you like our birds and pineapples! We also have stars, tree houses and hearts in stock <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrinceDesignUK?section_id=6111470&ref=shopsection_leftnav_2" target="_blank">here</a>. All have the texture of vintage lace crochet for a classic feel that can be easily mixed and matched.Elizabeth Prince Ceramicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04748645447143612252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464182178738964662.post-17509675526394180832015-11-22T23:11:00.001+00:002015-11-22T23:11:43.074+00:00New poppy bowls - Handmade porcelain flower sculptures.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm having my own personal great pottery throwdown in my studio this week. Here are the latest pieces out of my kiln.<br />
Only one set available and just on sale. Find them <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/257502904/2-white-poppy-bowls-ceramic-sculpture" target="_blank">here</a><br />
Each one was made in the palm of my hand from pure white English porcelain. I never get tired of using it - such a beautiful material. The finest ceramic on the planet in my opinion - slightly translucent, smooth, fine and stunning. Hope you like it as much as I do!Elizabeth Prince Ceramicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04748645447143612252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464182178738964662.post-60678148149237015782015-11-19T11:37:00.001+00:002015-11-19T11:38:44.248+00:00New handemade ceramic bowls with recycled glassHope you'll like my new bowls with recycled glass!

These are pretty used in bathrooms as catch alls or soap dishes, although I know a lot of people have bought them to display as sculpture.</div>

<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/207939707769216858/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/06/8e/39/068e39512b53198b1892df34d0f60182.jpg" height="320" width="267" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I get a lot of messages from people who are unsure of how a piece of art will look in their home, and are struggling with ideas of placement or scale. Luckily, I was an interior designer for nearly a decade before I started my ceramics business, so I have a trick or two to share!<br />
So, what is the best way to choose art for your home? Well, let's imagine that you have found an image, a print or a photograph that you like on the internet, and the artist offers that in either one size or a choice of sizes. Simply stick together paper ( recycling newspaper will often suffice ) and cut it out to the correct size. Simply tack it onto your wall, and there you have it - the issue of scale is resolved. It will either look good or it won't. If you can see the image at the same time, on a screen for example, then that's all the better - this combination of factors really gives you an idea of how a piece will feel in your home.<br />
If you find that it isn't the right scale for you, consider asking the artist if they could do it in any other size. I am always happy to work with a customer to get the perfect number, scale, personal touch or special colour to suit their room, and I am sure other artists are too.<br />
Often, people ask this when choosing my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrinceDesignUK/search?search_query=grace&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search" target="_blank">Grace</a> wall art. It's really simple - just cut out circles of paper to approximate sizes and tack them on. It's a great trick when you're arranging them after a purchase too, to make sure you get them in the right place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/195137652/graces-wall-hanging-sculpture-art-seven" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://img1.etsystatic.com/028/1/5291835/il_570xN.622649167_skw0.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
In terms of colour, it is an incredibly personal choice. I always find that a contrast to your wall colour is best. So light things on mid tone or dark walls and vice versa. Picking out colours from your decor scheme is often a good idea too, although it might be that you're going to own the art for longer than your current decor scheme lasts, so picking colours you love is the main thing. I like white for artwork, because it just looks fantastic on such a wide range of coloured walls, but it really is a great opportunity to introduce colour to a room too.<br />
Above all, the best advice I think when choosing art is that you absolutely love it. You're going to see it most days if it is to be in your home, so make sure it is special to you.Elizabeth Prince Ceramicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04748645447143612252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464182178738964662.post-59859158436647488582014-10-01T14:46:00.000+01:002014-10-01T14:46:18.685+01:00New ceramic wall artHere are a few new pieces from my ceramic wall art work.

The first one will be ceramic bowls, where you can come along and make small bowls, suitable for storing jewellery, candle holders, as dipping bowls, gifts or whatever you'd like! In the first session, Weds 10th Sept 6-8pm, we will make the bowls, and you'll learn some really easy and effective ways of forming them and creating textures in the surface. The second session, Weds 24th September, 6-8pm will be for glazing the bowls. Don't worry if you can't get through rush hour for 6 - if you'd like to start a touch later at say half past, and finish at 8.30, that's fine too!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The second sessions will be ceramic jewellery making. Again, we'll make the forms in session one, and will glaze them in session two. Please note that we will only be making the components for the pieces, unless of course you choose to make one piece items like bangles or rings, so you'll need to stick on brooch backs and thread up pendants after you collect your treasure. As it is going to be coming up towards Christmas by the time we run these, you will be welcome to make a couple of Christmas tree ornaments too!<br />

Travel is such a rich source of inspiration for me. I took hundreds of photos, and there will be more work based on this research coming over the coming months.</div>

I know some of you have already seen some of my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrinceDesignUK/search?search_query=swallow&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search" target="_blank">swallow wall art,</a> but these new pieces focus on the migration of our native British swallows, and the ideas that raises. I find it incredible that these tiny birds make such an epic journey each year. They leave us at the end of our summer and make the journey to the south of Africa where they stay for the winter, before returning to breed here in Spring. Everyone loves the idea of migratory birds, but I find it interesting and quite sad that human migration is not always held in such high regard.<br />
On their journey, our swallows firstly pass over France and Spain, before they reach North Africa. Most will then fly over Morocco before flying straight over the Sahara, whilst some will skirt around it by flying over east Africa, the Sinai and Egypt down the Nile Valley, whilst some travel down the West of Africa. Some will travel over Nigeria, Chad, central African jungle, Congo, Cameroon... the list is long. These are well travelled birds. They travel about 200 miles per day, and can complete their return journey in as little as four weeks. They can fly places you and I would not be able to pass through, for reasons of war or just un-hospitable terrain.<br />
The cost to travel through all these places would be huge - visas for all these countries alone would run into the thousands of pounds. For these lucky little birds, there is no passport control, and they are welcomed wherever they go!<br />
I became fascinated by this journey, and began researching the patterns and textures that are seen in these places. Indeed I will be travelling to some of these places in a couple of weeks for further research into the designs and patterns that are seen in Spain and Morocco.<br />
For now, the first of my series is ready, and here is a little taster - swallows over Morocco.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The design is inspired by Moorish and Moroccan tiles, and similar designs are found in Spain and other countries, because of the migration of the Moors and their influence. Indeed, similar designs are now incorporated into what is thought of as traditional Spanish design. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I carved the design by hand into the porcelain for this set only, so they are a particularly special set. Firstly, I drew the design on in pencil, and then gently, slowly carved it out. </div>

Choosing Christmas gifts for men can be tough! My <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PrinceDesignUK?section_id=6111434" target="_blank">sets of flying ducks</a> are about my most masculine piece, especially in the midnight lake finish above - these have been really popular to decorate the style conscious mancave!

<br />
What do you think of this little gingko leaf bird bowl in porcelain - sweet as a Christmas stocking stuffer gift or a sweet place to keep your rings safe by your bed or sink? I used a real gingko leaf for this one - I just love the shape of them. I gathered a few leaves earlier in the year from a friend's tree to use for this piece. Good job I did because the next time I visited him, they had all fallen off because they are deciduous!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And some new porcelain wall art - titled "Let's Fly Together" I always miss the swallows when they fly south for winter. It must be wonderful to migrate each year. Such tiny birds and they go such a long way! Ours go to Africa I believe. Good idea - it is freezing here now! I added the subtle texture of feathers to the surface of the smooth porcelain, and really like the effect. Because of the way these hang, they create a slight shadow on the wall too. I like the flexibility of artwork that can be arranged to suit a space.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Being sick gave me some serious time to think. I thought and thought and thought. In the blur of it all, I was still designing, still plotting, still inspired. I think that is why I am still sane now! Although there are some that might disagree with that diagnosis ;) Here are some of the ideas for Christmas decorations that blossomed in the midst of the chaos. I hope you'll like them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Back in the summer, a couple of awesome friends took me away on a mystery trip. I had no idea where we were going, but they took me camping in Anglesey in Wales. Well, glamping in fact. We stayed in a fabulous place that had yurts and teepees in a super pretty location, with comfy beds and all equipment there. The perfect hideaway and so much fun. I will definitely go back. So I made these fun little teepee decorations, or Christmas Treepees as I like to call them, because I thought snowy teepees hidden among the branches of your Christmas tree would be super fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">To turn Christmas trees into pear trees with partridges has never been simpler ;) My partridge in a pear tree.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And I have been away soooo long from my blog! Well people, I really do have a good reason. Unfortunately, earlier this year I got some pretty devastating health news, and was pretty much out of the game for a while there. Luckily, and thankfully, I appear to be making good progress now, and am looking forward to getting through the rest of this year, and hopefully having a much better 2014!</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So during my enforced studio break, I worked a little at home on some new ideas and new designs. I recently learned to cut these ideas using a laser cutter, so the first of my new range is now in my shop. Here's a new one that I hope you will like, appropriately enough, my "Time Flies" clock, made from laser cut acrylic.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What do you think of my new material? A clock was one of the first functional objects I ever made, so it has been fun to revisit that idea.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have also made a version of these as <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/165180684/three-doves-christmas-decorations?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Christmas tree decorations</a>, and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/165785250/bird-plant-markers-garden-markers-stakes?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">plant markers</a> so I hope you'll like those too!</span><br>

<ul style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px; list-style-image: url(data:image/png; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Syntribos (Σύντριβος), the shatterer</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">I am glad to report that none of these bad guys have been troubling me too much of late, but this fact tickled me and I thought I would share it! Even with experience, sometimes there is no obvious reason why a pot has failed to make it through a firing - it will amuse me to think of these spirits when things go wrong! And of course, it is interesting, and also strangely comforting, to think that there were people doing what I do now so long ago.</span></span></div>
