Getting ready for this weekend 🥰✨🏳️‍🌈

It’s been a long process getting my new kiln going due to technical issues and my tendency to go very slow with new machines - yesterday was the first full bisque load I put on. So exciting!! Now I will put all the pieces I have made recently in a few bisque loads and then get my glazing together, all the while working on some pieces for an exhibition in October - time to move on it!

I have a new kiln. It’s taken awhile to get going. Soon I will be producing again - I have so much greenware backed up! I can’t wait to show you everything I’ve been making ☺️

Happy weekend to you 💖 Here’s a pic of how my apron is showing up today. My youngest reckons this photo looks like a painting of some mountains across the water. I can sorta see it and also not - do you see it?

I made a little version of a vase I made when I was ten years old. Swipe to see the original. I was sgraffitoing back then and didn’t even realise it! 🥰

I’m really excited about this beautiful vase I made ☺️. You will be able to make it yours tomorrow (Monday) 14 March at 4pm AEDT when my shop updates with a few nature-inspired items. I have uploaded everything that will be available to my website so go have a look if you like! Link in bio!

What have I done? I have to paint and sgraffito all these vessels, plus 12 more brown clay ones, by Tuesday morning, when they are booked in to go into the kiln. This is where I’ll be for the next 48 hours or more. Maybe I’ll do a live. Maybe that would be fun. Come see my stories where I will put a suggestion box for your painting ideas. 😁

New shape 😁 - I only want to throw this shape from now on - so much fun!

These pieces and much more available in my shop right now! You’ll find the link to my shop in my bio and also my stories (where you’ll also find the cutest lil echidna snuffling away at the ants in the dirt).

It’s been almost two months since my last shop update so it feels like absolutely aaages since I’ve had fresh pieces out of the kiln. It looks like I’ll have these ones all shiny and colourful and food safe by tomorrow and be able to open my shop either on Sunday or Monday. I’m wondering which day suits you?
~
Have a look at the poll in my stories if you want to vote - you can vote whether you think you’ll buy anything or not - it would be very useful to me to know just generally what you prefer. Thank you! 🙃
~
The question in my stories - Does a shop update on Sunday night or Monday night suit you better?
~

I’m so excited to glaze these beauties tomorrow! All going well, my shop will be updating before the month is out! Watch this space!

I’ve been painting Australian native birds on some little cups today. Which bird do you like the best?

Here is my workspace after throwing umpteen pots today. Can’t wait to show you what they become! I’ve got some more throwing to do tomorrow and then I’ll be painting, and I’ll so be able to show you pretty stuff very soon. 😝

Happy New Year! Here is my for 2021. Your love and support has meant the world to me over the first three months of my business - thank you so so much 🥰❤️🌼. I’m really excited for 2022 and all the things I’ll be making for you, as well as streamlining my processes and sharing more of day-to-day life in the studio. I should even have my own brand new kiln by the end of May 🎉🎉🎉 - very exciting!

Wishing you a happy and healthy 2022 💖

Hello lovely friends! I’ve been quiet lately and will be posting regularly again soon! Yesterday we frolicked through the rainforest in the rain and it was divine ❤️. I wanted you to see how beautiful it was - swipe through to see pics of a stunning rainforest landscape in the middle of 🌳

Swipe through for a selection of mugs still available in my online shop. The shop is closing on Thursday night and won’t be opening again until January when there will be another selection of pieces available. So this is the last chance to call these beauties your own! Go ahead and click the link in my bio and it will take you directly to the shop, where you can wander to your heart’s content.

Big news - my shop update is going ahead on THURSDAY 2 DEC at 4pm AEDT - that’s this Thursday! I was so busy painting pieces that I forgot to get any good pics of them, so here’s the one photo I managed haha! This will be on sale on my website (link in my bio) on Thursday arvo. I should have some pics up of all this month’s pieces by Wednesday night so you can check out the goods before they go live. 🤗

A bud vase for tiny flowers!
~
I’m so excited about these new vases I ran out in the rain to take a picture of it for you. They are for those little flowers you get given by your little love-heart children, or maybe you like to pick tiny flowers like I do?
~
I 💙 these bud vases so much that I’m going to have trouble putting them up for sale. Luckily I will make more, because I only have two at the moment and I need at least two for all the little flowers I pick on my walks.
~
So these will be on my website next week when I update the shop (probably 1 or 2 Dec, I’ll let you know). I can’t wait!
~

Sunflowers - thanks for the suggestion - you know who you are 😘. This will go into its first firing on Wednesday and I’ll have things in the shop next week sometime! Exact date TBC. Can’t wait to see this one all white and shiny ✨

And the winner of the Spiral Ceramics design competition is…the animals! It was a close race with the Stone Splash mug getting lots of love, but eventually the animals outdid the more abstract design by a few votes.
~
Thanks so much to everyone who voted, it was great to see which designs were more popular - I certainly got a few surprises which is really helpful because I’m so close to the designs that I’m a bit blinkered as to what might work and what might not. I also get emotionally attached to certain designs because of what they mean to me, and even though they might not be the most well-liked, I’m still going to persevere with them.
~
Anyway, thank youououou!!! And if anyone has their eye on that whale, it’s going to be available in my next shop update, which will be in the next two weeks or so! I’m so excited to show you everything that I’ve been making! 😝
