As a self proclaimed claysmith, I act as a midwife in the birthing of all things CLAY - beads, cups, pots, trays and rattles - which speak not only of the maker but the user and the society where the art of clay is permitted to flourish.

CLAY Meets Found Objects
Ever find a really cool stick when out for a walk;
a stick that called to you and demanded that you take it
along for the rest of your walk.
A stick that wanted to go home with you...
Here are some of those sticks immortalized
in Clay-to-Wear pieces.
I have to admit that not all of them called to me;
some called to friends of mine who were kind enough
to share them with me after their discovery...
This Evergreen branch looks totally different
with the other side of my pendant
and yet it complements both!
The stick below came all the way from Martha's Vineyard,
stumpy and oh, so smoothed by the sea and the sand...
It seems to not only enjoy hanging with clay, it likes copper
and leather as well...
And beautifully tops off the reverse side of this Intaglio
impressed design!
This is another Martha's Vineyard find brought back to me
by Maxine Manges; it appears to be made for the
Intaglio design and coloration of this clay pendant...
And then, surprize!.. The other side is full of whimsy -
dots, lines, leaves in blues - all ready to carry essential
oils on it's open matte surface.
Here's a close-up...
CLAY...I LOVE where it takes me!
FELINE Fine Earrings & Necklaces
These tiny hand painted and glazed-one-side kitty cats
which I made into 'Clay-to-Wear"
are the perfect way to support stray cats and dogs...
And you can do just that this Fall
at the Tails of Hope Beach Bar-B-Q Blast
These are all reversible as well!
The other side is open to absorb your essence
or be used as aromatherapy oil carriers.
