Though I’ve been abysmal at making time for pottery (yes, it’s a New Year’s Resolution) there were a few more goodies to be pulled from the kiln last week. These 2 yarn bowls are both done up in delicious shades of turquoise, chocolate and minty green and they’re only available at the Purple Purl here in…

Oh pottery, why must you be so time intensive? This froggie bowl was ordered from me a very long time ago…. like last summer long ago (luckily the person making the request was very patient). Her bowl just came out of the kiln and I am in love with it :) Hope she feels the…

A few months ago the Yarn Harlot featured my yarn bowls as being great Christmas gifts for knitters – which was very lovely of her. Unfortunately it resulted in me being inundated with requests I couldn’t fill – because I don’t ship pottery. There are lots of good reasons to not ship pottery – it’s…

I’ve been too busy to blog, and that’s saying something. I also had a major resin disaster that took out my entire store of carefully preserved gerber daisies and silver plated bezels. We won’t talk about that anymore – on to things that actual worked out. Speaking of things that worked out – my first…

Remember this guy? Someone ordered a yarn bell from me, oh, last summer ish. I literally just got it out of the kiln. Murphy ruled this yarn bell; every iteration of it either broke, was damaged in the kiln or had it’s handles fall off. I have never encountered such an ill-fated yarn bell. Well,…

Fresh out of the kiln – 3 new yarn wranglers, including a new design; a double sided bowl for colourwork. I have tried knitting fair isle with this one and yes, it does work. Makes handling the different strands much easier. I love the saturation of the glazing in this round – the studio is…

I’ve been experimenting with new glaze combinations and I think this one is the winner for me – so earthy and relaxing. The texture of the top glaze is my favourite part. The textured finish on this one is achieved by filling my hands with ‘slip’. The slip is a combination of clay, water and…

This beauty came out of the kiln earlier this summer, but I haven’t been to the studio in a while to get it. I took the summer off but will be getting back in this September. **Post Update** – I finally decided to try selling these babies on Etsy – click the Etsy link on…

About a month before the 2011 Knitters Frolic I went into the studio and threw 12 yarn bowls for the Purple Purl’s booth. Though the Frolic is over (and the bowls did extremely well!) I wanted to share a few pics of them here. My beauties – fresh off the wheel. This is when they’re…

New yarn bowls – just of the kiln today =o) These are the finished froggie bowls from a few weeks ago – and they turned out adorable! These beauties will be delivered to the Purple Purl this Saturday ! Another dragonfly pot – as usual I was in a turquoise glazing mood ;o) Another view…
