The Most Fun I've Had...

Without Laughing! (Apologies to Woody Allen)



This necklace seems to have a little of everything;
it just emerged from nowhere as I sat at my dining table
(which doubles as my work table) to make it.



The hand painted reversible pendant happened
weeks before the necklace and yet I seemed to have
all the complements needed for it to become...





CLAY...I LOVE where it takes me...



GO FISH!


The above Intaglio mat, Three Fish & a Friend,
was created last year for Emily Cohen's birthday
to make her a set of luncheon plates...


The Four Fishes Intaglio mat makes it easier to cut
the fish apart for stamping; all the fish are different
but I will say, the flounder in both are the favorites!

South West Personal Pitcher


It's so nice to have a new glaze make such a
statement on a patterned form...


This one is the matte Blueberry from Georgie's
accenting my Southwest Border impressions
Intaglio mat design...


It is on a 'one piece' personal pitcher;
the inside has been glazed with Mayco Cinnabar
and the clay used is Standard 710 stoneware.


Not everyone realizes that ALL of the factors -
clay body, glaze color & application, firing methods -
all play a role in the outcome of each piece.
