Kiln Gods

As promised..pics of kiln gods made by my nieces and nephews!

Kiln Gods

Here is my nephew Noah Bisley making me a new kiln God. I explained that kiln gods help protect a firing from any mishaps . He decided that nature is the best design for a protector that he could think of .Got to just love that kind of thinking! So here he is tracing out the shape of a oakleaf that he found outside . PS love the hair he did it himself

Oh Oh

Came down for breakfast this morning and found these perfectly stacked broken shards from five pieces of pottery . I was blissfully asleep when my husband knocked over the stack of pots. I can't believe I didn't wake up !  Ah well, they are now just a fond memory. I think I'll see if my friend who makes mosaics can make me something with the pieces.

Kiln

Loading kiln . Hours and hours of time into this work and I'm only filling one kiln shelf.
Feeling lucky that I get to spend my days doing this. It has been a lifestyle choice that has worked for me. Years ago I realized I could choose money or I could choose time , I definitely went time .

Lilacs

I made this little beauty the day after I dreamt of lilacs. It is definitely spring fever time and Wisconsin .

Flutter

Introducing my new hanging wall tile design inspired by ruffled sedom plants I saw on vacation . Say hello to "Flutter"

Studio light
