In other exciting news!
I said last week that there was new pottery in the works and now the first load is out of the kiln. It really is enjoyable spending Mondays and Tuesdays in my pottery studio with my hands in the clay.It's been so long since I made pottery I had to refresh my memory by looking at older blog posts like THIS ONE.
My first load had to include flip flops because I have been getting mucho requests for them. And in fact, most of the pairs sold right away, but there are still 4 pairs left. And some of the really cute fish flops. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do the small pairs of flip flops anymore, but then I looked at ALL THESE cute designs and I think I will do some small ones. They are so cute in kids rooms.
The next round of firing is going to include platters and serving pieces. :)
There's not a lot to say, I just want to show you the pics.
Hugs,
Maggie

What all these cuties look like before they get the glaze.

The first batch of flip flops in really, really a long time!

 |
| What I like about the fish flops is you can hang them vertical or horizontal. They'll fit in any space. |
 |
| These fun fish hang on the wall. I think next batch I'll have to make some swimming the other way. |
 |
| Mermaids for the wall as well as spoon rests. The little fish are spoon rests too for those beachy kitchens. |

When we were in Key West last March, we stopped by to buy one of your chip and platters for a gift. We were saddened that you were no longer making pottery. We settled for "Story Book Giraffe" for myself. Her name is Guilda and looks fabulous hanging in my bedroom. Save some of those fishes for our next year's visit!
ReplyDeleteI love the name Guilda! I'm glad she's up and hanging in your bedroom. It's been great that I found a helper and now I can spend a few days making pottery. And I can always send you a fish if you don't want to wait. But of course I want to see you on your next visit.
