Many people, including yours truly, are daunted by the thought of pulling a handle for a mug. So rather than face the task with fear, I decided to pay special attention to my mug handles to see whether I could come up with handles that are fun to make. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
But I will not be making mugs this week because Clayathon starts today! And I’ve been looking forward to it for some time. To read about past Clayathons, press here.
It’s not like I don’t already have enough beads, but having access to a pottery studio, glazes and a bead tree has made new beads magically appear in my workshop. The items you see below are pendants and a couple of bead comes.
Here are some beads in their greenware state and decorated state after bisque firing and prior to glaze firing.
And if bead making was not enough, I been making little trinket bowls to hold rings and other small treasures.
I am having fun with different glazes and textures, and finishes.
And I have also been having fun making components for the Into the Forest collaborative polymer clay project.
