Where I am.

I haven't forgotten about my blog, I've just been in production-land. I am finally feeling caught up on orders and am working on building up inventory for a bunch of holiday shows. Including one next weekend in Atlanta:



Please stop by for the First Annual Hand Crafted Fall Showcase. Click on the invitation to see enlarged version.

A group of local Atlanta Etsy sellers (including me) will be having a private backyard event. It will be like going to your own personal art festival. There will be finger foods and lots of giveaways. Thanks and feel free to spread the word. Send me an email for directions! (jeanettezeis [@] gmail.com)

Scarred.

Sorry if you are squeamish! But it is kinda cool looking.

I have the biggest thumbs ever and they are very dear to me, so I was freaked out when I sliced one up really good. I had the brilliant idea to make a commemorative mosaic with my crashed pottery. My pottery felt otherwise.
But, it is all good. It doesn't hurt (unless I bang it on something, which I do, about twice a day.) However, it itches like crazy. Stitches come out on Monday.

Thanks to everyone that came out to our Spaghetti Fundraiser. It was an amazing turn-out and a wonderful show of support for our little co-op! I waited some tables and made some salads. It was a blast, but I am glad I was only a waitress for one night!

Basket tray.

Nothing but pretties in this post.

I've been working on a couple of these handbuilt basket tray thing-ies. Oh-my how I like the way they look. But oh-my how they like to crack in the corners and on the bottom. My inexperience with handbuilding is starting to show as I try to get more technical and challenging in the forms.

Can I just take a second to say I love the glazes on these??!! (Still run like they are on fire, but so so so pretty.)
