They're back....

Earthenware hand build pitcher and cutting vase multi-glazed.

Blue Grey Gardens Necklace

I made these beads awhile back wanting to incorporate

all of them in one single necklace...

They are all made from stoneware clay accented with blue grey

terra sigilatta but the stoneware clays are different colors.

That is why the colors of the beads all seem different.

The spacer beads are Greek porcelain which blends perfectly.

The necklace is only the length of a choker (about 18")

and is so lightweight considering it is made from stoneware!

Virginia Creeper Wrapped Pendant

A blue brick patterned shard is wrapped

with waxed linen to dried Virginia Creeper vine.

It is also reversible, making it two necklaces in one!

The reverse side is not glazed remaining open to absorb

the wearers' essence, how cool is that?

The light weight ceramic clay pendant is suspended from leather

on a copper coil; the leather cord ends with copper caps which connect

to a chain which forms the rest of the necklace and makes it adjustable.

...Finally got around to adorning two rattles I previously made,

both pillow rattles made using this process - 

"Once the basic shape is formed, I tenderly blow my own CHI (breath of life) inside, sealing the opening quickly closed with pursed lips."

This 710 dark chocolate stoneware one I've named

BROKEN RIMS of the BEER BOTTLE ABYSS

because of the tumbled interrupted glass rings which adorn it.

In actuality, they are the cut off rims of beer bottle openings

(tumbled & sent to me by Emily Cohen from Florida)

which I then wrapped with copper wire to hang.

The dried Virginia creeper vine handle also hails from Florida

and is accented with one of my clay Gillette leaves...

Just so you know, the 'other side' pictured here is as worthy 

as the side pictured in the initial picture above.

This earthenware rattle was made from a clay slab 

accented with Pilcher's slip and a transfer printed woodcut

I call HOMER and this too, is the name of the rattle.

The opposite side is a combed engobe plaid on one half with

a carved black terra sigillata on the other half.

The adornments on HOMER range from a broken twig 

which was once part of his handle, hand formed palm pebble,

blob & love knots beads and black & buff porcelain beads

all inter-spaced with colorful seed beads.
