I promise! This will be the last round of mugs for some time. I’m getting sick of them myself! Ha!
Quite simply, I have no mugs left. The last two rounds of mugs felt incredibly rushed, so it’s been nice to rest, take my time and enjoy the process. In the new year I truly am ready to move onto bowls, vases, plates and platters… I am so ready to experiment!
Now let me tell you what came to me in my sleep. During my Creative 365 a couple years ago, I enjoyed making tons of different hand-made stamps to incorporate in my printmaking. I used leftover blocks of wood and kids craft foam.
I don’t know why I didn’t think of it until now, but why not create my own stamps out of craft foam to press into my hand-built clay creations? The two examples above are sort of weird because they were all I could find on short notice, but I now know the concept works. Be fore-warned, the light bulb has gone off. Now, I will design some hand-made stamps with intent… Wow, imagine the possibilities!
Oh these are going to be cool… I can’t wait to see them after firing. Don’t you love it when you have a great idea?! Good for you.
Ideas always come when your at your opposite of =try hard! They should call them “duh” moments!
Wonderful, wonderful, all of them exquisite! All who purchase will be thrilled.
Thank you for sharing the work of your hands.
Ooh, love the one with the flowers on top!
My sister does too!
