blooming vases
I'm so very excited about these pieces. Combining felt and ceramic was something that has been on my mind ever since I took my first potterythrowing class last year. A lot of work and effort went into creating these 4 bud vases which were patiently sitting in my workroom until a few days ago. I was undecided on the style of flower to use, as well as the finishing look of the ceramic. Wildflower or not? To glaze or not to glaze? In this case, the vases are left unglazed. I loved the look of the matte ceramic, the lines and imperfections of porous clay visible. There are 4 vases to open up the series, and I promise, there will be more! My pottery wheel is beckoning and with the warm weather just around the bend, throwing vases in the garage sounds so inviting. Now, on to the photos!

happy things
I've got some awesome news! I was approached by the Donna Hay team to see if I was interested in making some of my felted goodies for her new general store. She'll be carrying my pebbles, big and small, come the end of this month when the store's doors open in Sydney. I know they were planning the opening at the beginning of this month - shipping in time was a bit stressed for me - but it turns out they've got some delays and are aiming for the first of April.

Also, I finally got my supplies in for finishing the snowdrop project I started weeks ago. You can find it in my etsy shop.

What's new....
A cream handfelted bowl in the store ~ check etsy.
I've been wrapping up some loose ends here lately. Two major shipments were sent out to stores last week, which involved some serious time commitment on my side, hence my very minimal posting on etsy lately. The past few days I've been slowly picking up the felting needles to work on that new project I mentioned in the last post. Some of the supplies I ordered apparently weren't in stock anymore, so I'll have to wait a couple weeks before I can start assembling. But looking on the bright side, at least I'll have enough time to get the flowers finished. I don't want to give away too much, but inspiration for the new piece stems from the tree folk I made for LOLA.
Below, the very first flower which will be going into the new spring item. I made a wee mistake in its design. Maybe I'll turn this flower into a brooch, and start anew on the other one.
