Wasser Glass Meets Copper & Clay E A R R I N G S

These waffle Wasser slabs told me exactly what they 

wanted to be as they dropped to my work table from

 their Emily Cohen Florida Ziploc...

Even the interesting shapes of the waffle Wasser have a

unique appeal when layered atop a neutral rectangle 

of plain Wasser glass complemented by a 

clay Spirit Hole disc...

The combination of lightweight Wasser glass shapes 

& paper thin ceramic Spirit Hole discs 

makes these statement earrings such an easy wear...

I'm loving the asymmetrical cuts of Wasser...

...almost as much as this "Put-a-Cork-in-It!" wine bottle 

earring display by Floridian jewelry artist,

Emily Cohen!

V A S E S

Sometimes it's nice to see how a piece of pottery

LOOKS as it's becoming a functional form...

 

The SW Vase above is constructed

with rough hand dug clay and has my signature 

hangie-downs to let you know when a curious cat

is investigation what's IN IT...

While the Fish Stenciled Vase has no such protection!

The Leaf Me Alone vase is much smaller 

and belted with leather from which both beads

 and a clay leaf hang. The opening

is lined with leaves which accent the floral blooms...

Both the Mikado (left) and Scrappie Vase are still

simple cylinders with pinch-strip collars; 

their form comes from what is there,

 their function from what is not there.

Revisiting My Clay Pots...

I took a workshop with a Vermont hand builder 

who made cylinders into amazing bottles, 

so I tried some as well

using my inlaid and transfer techniques...
