Rabbits

Here is a new standing piece called Give. She is approximately 5 inches in height and is mixed media (metal, clay and wood). Rabbits are multiplying in my studio. I just love sculpting their ears.

While I am out running I quite often stumble upon small brown rabbits that hop into my path. I don't know who gets more startled, me or them. This little rabbit has the word Give upon her chest. A gentle reminder to always give more than you take and to keep your basket wide open for the universe to fill.

Glazed Buffalo Girl

The kiln is unloaded and thank God all is well. A few weeks back I posted three little buffalo gals, here is one all glazed and finished.

She is small scale and the figure measures approximately 5 inches from horn to tail. The base is approximately 4 inches. What I like about these little guys is we all have quiet little spaces in our homes just right for a small piece of art. Remember my Etsy shop is now opened for business, watch for new listings regularly.

I am totally inspired, I went to Art Palm Beach today and my mind is racing with new ideas. Back to my sketchbook.

Etsy is Up and Running

Finally, at long last I uploaded work to Etsy. I was really whipping the guilts on myself for not doing it sooner.

If you would like to visit my Etsy Shop click on this link and view my online store. All of the work is quite small in scale, affordable and ready to ship.

I am waiting to open my kiln (I fired today). Tomorrow morning is going to be like Christmas day. It's always the same routine, I tippy toe out to the garage in my pj's, crack the kiln and pray the kiln Gods were good to me. Lots of rabbit creatures in the newest batch, watch for new images in the next few days.

Palm Beach State- January 12

On January 12 there are big changes at PBCC. That is the day we become Palm Beach State College. The College began offering its first Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Supervision and Management in fall 2009. It is seeking state approval to offer additional bachelor's degrees, including a Bachelor of Science in nursing and B.A.S. in information management technology. Rumor mill has it that a BFA may soon be on its way!

New Year, New Work

I just took this picture of my studio table. I just changed the paper and turned the Roomba loose so the place is presentable again. That is until I start yanking out bottles of glaze.

I decided to try a terra cotta body for a change. The work is for the Mad Hatter Tea Pot show to be held in March at the Armory Art Center. Each piece has an Alice in Wonderland vibe. The large piece is Alice's head with a flamingo and the two smaller pieces are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb in top hat tea cups.
