I was sitting in my studio yesterday. Not working just looking around, feeling a little overwhelmed at what my little hobby has become.
I started out 8 years ago with a used wheel and a wicked desire for creativity.
I remember beaming with pride at my first pot, thinking to myself,I cant believe I made this perfect little crooked pot.I held that pot, turning it in my hands with pure amazement!
I still feel that excitement when I open up the kiln to the ceramic goodness inside! I love holding a warm pot!
I just feel so grateful for the life I have, and for whats to come!
I know its crossed over from hobby to work, but looking around the studio it just doesnt feel much like work, more of a passion. My mom has asked me a few times, if pottery is as much fun now that this is my "job" and truth is yes! Maybe more!
Ok, Im done :) I just need to get this all out.

Lunar Eclipse
I know, I know Im a few days late posting this.
I had the flu and still managed to drag my butt outside with a big ol blanket and watch the lunar eclipse.
It was totally worth losing the feeling in may face for an hour afterwards!
I took the telescope outside, but it fogged up so I took this pic through my binoculars lol

I was in a panic getting this done in time for my interview with our local newspaper.
It was just to hard to keep it totally clean when I have work to do,lol
The interview went really well, i dont know why I was so freaked out

New Scale Design!
I love this new design! I started out carving the scales, but the glaze just took away from the carvings, so I made a few of these. I love the way the color just bounces off of the white :)
I just listed a plethora of mugs in my etsy shop.
The mugs with scales are $16.50 for a 12oZ.

My Studio, a work in progress.
I get to paint this weekend!! Woot me! I have no idea what color......... Ive been trying to choose for about 6 months.
The floor is going to get painted (its naked concrete right now :/ ) witch is a huge pain in the ass to clean. The people who owned the house before us, painted the basement pink, white and blue. The pink makes me want to puke :P

Tea Pot Set On Mud :P
Yea, my studio has just gone straight down the crapper this month!
Its such a mess!
The only good thing about this giant mes I have going, are the pieces I have been making. This is a tea set with scales. Its still unglazed but once I bisque fire it, I will glaze it black,red and white....... Or maybe turquoise,white and black..............
