Well, I feel like after a long (too long) hiatus, that I am finally feeling crafty again. I have been making new cards along with some ceramics. I fired my kiln on Thursday, and something went wrong. I noticed a lot of steam coming out. I think what happened was it needed to be fired empty. It has been sitting in the weather for some time now with a tarp on it, so I think it had a lot of built up moisture. So, I am firing it empty today, and going to start some new ceramics. Everything that was in the kiln was ruined. Oh well, live and learn. But, good news is, I feel a real flow of creative energy. I have listed a couple new things on my etsy site.
The dragonfly. . .
and the moth (or butterfly). I think it is a moth. I put both of these on my etsy site. They come in several colors, which is fun. I haven't done that before, we'll see how it goes.
I haven't put this one on etsy yet, but I will in a day or so. I like the matching envelope! I want to make some books and other things, but it has been 4+ years since I have made a book. And there is such instant gratification from the cards. After the stamp is carved, they go fairly quickly. But, I will gfet to the books. Maybe after I successfully complete some ceramics, I will get to book making. . .
