Ceramic heads with flowers

So clearly I am working in a new medium, taking a ceramic class. It's great

because we are free to make what we like in the class, and by the end of the last session I really started to figure out what i wanted to do, and became addicted! So I signed up again.  I did use clay in college (and tons of classes as a child!) but never as free and creatively as now. Ok, I take that back, as a kid, it was pretty free

and creative, but I do think I was following assigned projects. 

I do not have a great photo of this....but this was my 

Dios De los Muertos skull I made in October. I love it so much

I have not put away with seasonal decorations yet. 

I sort of made this on the spot, and the flowers turned out so cool, 

It was pretty great.  I will update with a better photo of the entire skull. 

I have alway loved the Lady Head Vases, and wanted to try my own version. 

These are sitting in my china cabinet a the moment, not really 

fit for cut flowers like the vases that inspired me. But 

a plant? A candle? Tea?

And this one too, same deal, not sure what she will be used for yet other than 

to decorate my china cabinet. But I love her.

Much more to show soon.

Hopefully with better lighting!

I am definitely still drawing too, more than ever actually. I am taking one of the 

amazing Lilla Rogers MATS courses, and well, it's amazing and I will 

have to start another post for that!

Getting Lost

Another flower head, Happy Valentines Day!

Mother

This is just a different, somewhat softer version of the Mother and Child I shared the other day.  This very soft, shade of pink with grey always gets me.

Flower Head

I have had a slight obsession lately (well for a while really) with flowers, on heads and faces. I still have not

completely figured out why this interests me so much...but I've been drawing them over and over. I'm sure I will continue to do so, until I do figure it out. That's how it works it seems.

These latest images, I am pretty happy with, and will likely be available in the shop soon, as prints.

Big floral bouffants almost enveloping the entire person, in soft pastel colors. 

I feel there will be more, I'm not done with these ladies yet.

New new new!

I have not posted on here for quite a while, I have been very busy over on my other blog, 

small world land , which I have been working on with my friend Sarah.

But I have been busy working on lot's of thing to share. 

As I was going through the disaster of my craft room, and trying to reinstate order, 

I came across a ridiculous amount of unfinished projects.  Some of these projects were 

so close to completion, I couldn't believe they had been sitting so long unfinished.

So maybe it's the newness of the new year, but I decided to make this year, the year of finishing

things.  I have been successful so far, and have fun stuff to share.
It is also making me feel so accomplished to get these things finished and off the craft table!

First off, I have to share, some new plush I had dreamt up, but had yet to sew.

Here they are, the Flower Power Gnomes and Friends.

So more to come.
