New pieces from the kiln

Sticks, stones and spirals...a few new pieces that will soon become necklaces and hanging sculptures. I'm loving the cobalt oxide on these. The deep blue is so vivid.

Ceramic Necklaces. Sticks and Stones collection

Recently, a series of necklaces grew from my sculptural work. These are a few works in progress from of my Sticks and Stones collection.  I'm working in sculpture clay which provides a great texture and a lovely medium for a palette of earthy oxides and occasional glazes in golds and corals. Necklaces are strung on ochre, mauve and peacock leather cords with vintage brass beads and chevrons are backed with animal-friendly faux suede for protecting skin and precious fabrics.

New from the kiln

Seed pod rattles

Just unloaded the kiln with all these seed pod rattles. These hollow forms are hand built and filled with dried balls of clay for a lovely sound when you shake them. I picture them clustered together or individually as an accent on a bookshelf or coffee table or imagine them as a feature in a terrarium.
