Things have been pretty hectic here lately...

It started with an exhibition I was in recently... I'll post some pics soon I promise, but until then I'll keep the subject matter a surprise. I had a huge amount of work to do in the run up to it, and at the same time I was as always ensuring that I had some work for my etsy and foksy shops too. Anyway, here's a pic of one of the new products I made during the madness, my Caribbean leaf bowl with recycled glass. I love the effect of this glaze and glass combination, and am really pleased with my new shape bowl. It's really good to be able to recycle glass too!

The glass makes me think of swimming in calm warm sea... Time to book a holiday I think!

Nice weather for ducks...

I think I am in the eye of the storm - simultaneous thunder and lightening and the biggest raindrops in the history of raindrops. Mmmmm, I love a good storm, very dramatic!
Today was going to be summery outdoor activity with friends, but... So anyway I have taken the opportunity to upload a few things to my shop...


This one's inspired by Tudor architecture, and has little piercings to make it extra pretty if you use it to hold a candle.

Next up is this droplet bowl in watery colours with a recycled glass pool in the bottom... seemed appropriate for today's climate.


And then, speaking of birds that like water...


here's my little love bird soap dish! All of these activities (including blogging) have provided me with a great excuse not to make a final decision about which shiny hunk is to become Kenny, King of Kilns!!!!! I can no longer avoid the decision, so I'm off now to do the maths...

Here it is!

The same glaze as was used in the previous post, but now with more turquoise vibrancy. I like that it hasn't lost the subtleties of the original with its dark speckles. I'm very pleased with the effect, and I think the glaze works well with the recycled glass in the bottom. I've been trying to get a tropical sea effect, and so I've named this one Caribbean. This seemed like an appropriate shape for it- a water droplet shaped bowl. The great British summer is living up to its wet reputation at the moment, so I'm trying to add a little tropical colour to life! As always, if you're reading this, feel free to give your opinion...
