future combination

Felt + Ceramic = My new project.


I'm so in love with combining different materials. On my worktable I've got some cork coasters staring me in the face waiting to be combined with cut felt. That's one. Next to those guys are 4 very precious unglazed bud vases which were wheel-thrown during my ceramic classes last year. I want to get started on those next. I'm so excited about my design for them. I wish the day had more hours. Hopefully I can set aside some time this Friday to at least start on one.

p.s; the picture shown here is one of the newly glazed pieces I picked up from class this week. Blue-green glazes are my weakness. Also shown are felted hearts, a custom order for friend and Etsy buyer.

berry hearts

These were made for LOLA, but seeing the response I got on Flickr, I think I might make a couple for Etsy.

where i've been

It feels like ages since I've been in this space. Last year was a hectic one. It was slow on the creative front, but I didn't mind one bit. Around Christmas time things picked up swiftly, and now (while I can) I'm working through my backlog of to-make projects. For those who don't know, B and I are expecting our first baby in March. So in these 7 weeks before the due date, I'd like to get some Reyart work done, as well as finish up the nursery and other baby-related decorations.

I'll try to post as much as I can, but I've found even keeping up with Flickr to be hard. We'll see...

In the meanwhile, feast your eyes on this bowl I finished last Saturday. It's colorlicious.

quietly busy

Not many new items going into Etsy these days. Working on a new order for 14feet. These three bowls will be heading over there soon along with some other felted goodies.

Here's the other.

The third one didn't execute at well. Let's call that one practice, shall we? :)

vessels

Last week Friday the vessel stick hit me. I spent the morning hours working on 3, count em, 3 felt bowls! Here's the first one. A brown and white bowl, kept very simple.

giveaway

Don't forget to head on over to martawrites for the giveaway tomorrow! I had some of that beautiful blue mixed ink leftover so I decided to print a bag for the etsy shop.
