Work in progresss

I've been thinking about Christmas lately and have been making these baubles as well dishes that stack inside each other.

I've also finished some new coloured coasters too. It's so exciting trying out new colours and textures but frustrating having to wait for two days for my kiln to fire and cool down before i can open it. I'm always tempted to have a quick look before it's cooled down enough, I'm sure one day I'll singe my eye lashes opening it too soon.

Blue Button Coasters

A while ago I posted some photos of some new round button coasters that I'd just made. I've now glazed them and listed them in my shops. These are denim blue and the next batch due out of the kiln will be green. There are also a few other patterns and new colours too which will be launched for Christmas.

They will withstand the heat from your hot winter drinks, they have four rubber feet on the underside to stop them slipping or marking surfaces.

Time to start making Christmas decorations now or it'll be Christmas before i know it.

Caversham Artists Autumn Show

I've been working to finish a few things for my next show with the Caversham Artists. See flyer below for more information and come along if you are free. Our show is taking place in a wonderful artists studio barn in Emmer Green, there will be a range of art and craft to view and buy if you fancy it.

You can keep up to date with news from Caversham Artists on their website, facebook group or twitter.

Things are happening

I tried some felt making at our venue at Bucks Open Studios last weekend, it was fab. This is my creation, a felt bowl. I loved making it and I am super pleased with the result.

I've also been making some new coasters, buttons and brooches with a button pattern. They are quite cute, I like the round ones lots.

It's been a busy week, I also won an advert on I Love Handmade that showcases beautiful handmade products from around the world, check it out. I am proud to say I've been featured on it before too.
