Busy!!

Hi everyone, I promise i will add some photo's at some point in the next few weeks of what i have been doing. I have been super busy in the studio. Been working on some felt scarves, felt coasters, ceramic coasters and some small bowls. My big mushroom will be coming out from firing soon and then all that needs to be done is the application of the underglaze.

Work for artist open house!!

Hi everyone , I am now finally adding pictures of my work for artist open house!
Here are some pictures for you !

                                         
 These are just plain ones which will have a simple bow at the top.

  These are going to become a bigger group and will be decorated with clusters of beads.

Set of 9

Mixed colours using Marino wool.

I revisited some ideas that I did at university , and thought it would be great to do a small set of pods aswell as a big one. These will have felt strands that go through the middle.

Petals and stems 

The big pod 

Crysanthemum flower!!

I have just acquired a beautiful Crysanthemum but not sure exactly what type it is as there are lots of varietys. The colour and structure of the flower really caught my eye and I thought this would be great to draw from and make in ceramics. I will post some piccys when I have made it as at the moment Im really busy with making other pieces for artist open house.
Below is the Crysanthemum.
