My Pottery Creations, Flowers, Birds & Spring Closets 

Picture
Here is my finished jug/pitcher ...I think it might just be the best thing I have made so far ..
I am just in love with it 

Picture
This is my very quickly made Daisy Bowl ..that I made to eat blueberries and strawberries etc in ..the daisy on the top acts like a thumb rest and I moulded it to my hand so it's very comfortable to hold and enjoy my treats 
Picture
I wanted to make the handle something different and here is what I designed ..a belt and I am so happy that the glazeI used (Amaco's Textured Amber) turned out to look like leather ..I used (Amaco's Palladium) to make the brackets and the buckles to look like shiny metal ..it just worked ..I am super happy 
Picture
I made this spoon about a year ago but it just fits it perfectly 
Picture
Picture
The Peonies just keep giving

For the Potters that are looking ...a list of  the glazes I used from the bottom upwards   All of them are by Amaco  ...Textured Amber x3    Obsidian x 3 all the way up     leaving band of Obsidian I used Indigo Float x 3    then I put an inch wide very thick and chunky band of Seaweed just the 1 coat ...I repeated these colors inside and then put a line of Iron Lustre on the rim

Picture
I love the stamp I designed and had made for me on a 3D printer wit my Initials on it ..my Potters Mark
Picture
My ancient Sweet Williams are a winner and keep me in cut flowers all early Summer long
Picture
Picture
I am happy with the bottom of my Daisy Bowl ...I used a glaze wash ...if I used a normal glaze it would have stuck to the kiln shelf ..not a good idea
Picture
I used Amaco's Iron Lustre x 3  with Oatmeal x 3 on top and it dripped to this glorious color with blue runs on the bottom ..the centre is Amaco's Snow
Picture
I have also been busy changing my closet to my Summer clothes, color coded of course ...I recycled the old bathroom towel rack and displayed my favorite Summer scarves ..so easy now for me to decide which one I want to wear 
Picture
My cute rose hook is from Anthropologie ..in the clearance bin of course
Picture
Most of them gifts from my Husband Danny ..he has great taste 
Picture
A quick peek at what I have been working on at pottery the past two lessons ...a very Crooked Bird House ...quite challenging as I like things to be perfect and match up and this house doesn't match up anywhere ..it's higgledy Piggledy ...and such fun to make ...I can't wait to glaze it once it's out of the first firing in the kiln

It was Mothers Day in England three weeks ago .
My Son's know how much I love my garden 
So they had four items sent to me over the past three weeks
Such fun to see what the Postal Lady brought me 

I have some Raspberry Canes ...I hope they work down here in the heat of the South ..we will see 

A Blackberry bush that is ever bearing ..

A Tango Hummingbird Mint  ...to attract humming bird and butterflies

And this 3 1/2 foot tree sapling ..of a Tulip Tree ...it  is very fast grown and will eventually get as big as the tree below ..in it's Autumn Foliage and will produce these lovely tulip flowers on it in the Spring/early Summer

Picture
Finally I bought this lovely 2 foot tall metal bird cage from Michaels yesterday ...it was $30 but 50% off and it went down to just $15 (around 10 British pounds)
I am going to hang it up from my front porch as a hanging basket ..put a terra-cotta pot in it and fill it with shocking pink Petunias ..one of mine broke last year so this is a very happy replacement ...I have another 3 cages that I will also fill with the Petunia's

I put a lovely birds nest in it for the photo 

And so that it looks Eastery ...

And I can now wish you all a very happy Easter , Pass Over or just a wonderful Easter Break time 

Thank you for popping by 

Always be kind to each other 

Happy Days

The pitcher is exquisite Janet. You could be a juried artist.
Your clothing closet definitely reflects your artistic sensibilities. Thanks for sharing so generously, you make the world a brighter, prettier place.
