On a creative roll with clay

Creating seashell boxes!

And a collection of smaller boxes all in white.

Below is my first attempt at a large treasure chest shaped box

with an Asian inspired base,

Front and back in a turquoise tinted glaze.

I'm into experimenting and having fun with clay!

Blue Hydrangeas

I'm always inspired by mother nature.

Here is my latest creative venture.

Nautical shell

Art inspired by nature.

I was asked to do a little demo of my craft 

at a local gallery on Forest Ave.

This is what I chose to work on

 as it was all about art and nature month in my little seaside town.

Below is my finished version of the nautical shell

inspired by the real shells in front of it.

Both beautiful and useful,

as the artist and textile designer William Morris was quoted as saying. 

It is a great size for chilling your champagne in 

or for a favorite floral arrangement!
