Hello, here’s my table last night, nothing has changed this morning except these are now covered with polythene to dry slowly.
I have been working with clay recently, hand building succulent planters, and some more ceramic beads as I’m running out of stock. Clay has to be the messiest medium, and I’m the messiest worker, and I know you paper crafts people are very neat and tidy . Feeling a tad ashamed over the state of my studio I spent yesterday morning cleaning up my mess in order to get some photos that I felt I could share.
Here are a few closeups, there are planters of all sizes, I have had so many folks commenting on the large planter I made for myself I thought I needed a range to suit everyone. Some have a slightly domed top, they remind me of flying saucers.
The large planter was quite a struggle but in the end I’m happy with it, let’s hope it fires well. I made a little egg shaped pot, maybe a planter but it would work for lots of other uses too.
I love making ceramic beads, I love the feel of the clay when rolling it into balls, and choosing the glazes, but my favourite part ( which makes me feel like a girl again) is putting them together in mixed sets. I can spend quite a bit of time doing this, just playing with the beads.
I hope everyone is feeling productive, I will head over to Stamping Ground to see what you are doing today

Your planters look absolutely stunning. I used to collect succulents many years ago and would have loved some of these. As for being a little girl I think we can all identify with that and I think it’s a good thing I’m sure I bet you never say you’re bored.. Enjoy the rest of your day. Barbxx #26

Papercrafters are neat and tidy? Wait until you see my post! Your bowls are absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous. I would buy one in a second if you lived near me. Awesome. I wish you did! BTW – you work with clay! Enjoy the mess! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #57

I am truly mesmerized just looking at your wonderful creations, promise us that you will show your creating area as is and not tidy up? You’re only human just like us and mess is good.
