Bunny-butt bowls!

Its spring! Which means bunnies! I've made a few bunny butt bowls (and some creamer and sugar jar sets to come later this week) to sell in my etsy shop (vegandish.etsy.com). 100% of the proceeds will go to the Farm Sanctuary.

While the bunny-butts make an occasional appearance in my pottery, I don't make them that often. (About once a year...usually around spring.) The bunny-butt stamp is handmade by me.

Cards?

That's right. Cards. Available at VeganDish. The inspiration for these cards are many. Here is a list in order to break it down for you.

1. I love print-making techniques of all kinds but really haven't done any in years and years. Ever since I joined etsy, I've admired the work of Sonia Romero (sheridesthelion.etsy.com. So I finally splurged on some supplies and got to cutting some lino.

2. The critter challenge for the etsy mud team is this month. I couldn't decide on a critter. Spent lots of time looking at animal books and thinking about animals. I still haven't made anything for the challenge but I had to make SOMETHING animal-related. (Stay tuned for the critter challenge...from the previews I've seen its going to be very, very cute.)

3. These guys.

4. I've been wanting to make a line, where the proceeds specifically go to charity. The sale of these cards will allow me to donate to various non-profit organizations that need support. Hopefully, I will be able to rotate the charities every few months and spread the love.

5. Every now and then you've got to change it up! Try something new! Expand your horizons!

Anyway, I hope you like them! I've got more critters to print! Hedgehogs and squirrels and birds and maybe an armadillo?

In Portland? Get to Herbivore!

VeganDish is now available at Herbivore. While you are there be sure to check out the rest of the vegan mini-mall. I'm so jealous. People in Portland don't know how good they got it.

Fusion ceramics.

I got a request for some "vegan" bowls that incorporated my other (wonky) style. At first I was a little hesitant because I thought it would just be too much. But they turned out sweet. So be on the look out for more fusion work...

Michigan bound.

Dinnerware set going to Michigan (well, almost, I still have a few pieces in the kiln...fingers-crossed) There is something soothing about making a dinnerware set. Especially this one, the glaze choice is so subtle and tranquil. And I think it is really great that people appreciate and want handmade objects for everyday use.

New stamps.

I'm so in love with these stamps. I got frustrated when I couldn't find any other letter stamps (beside my leather-working stamps that I currently use.) that would work on clay. So I made 'em myself. Now a whole world of handmade stamps in different fonts is opening up to me!

Swag galore.

Earlier this month, I was insanely making bunny butt keychains for the Farm Sanctuary's Gala. It was a last minute thing, but I was glad to be able to participate. Even if it did mean more bunny butts than 1 person should be exposed to. Hopefully the Farm Sanctuary raised lots of money for the animals and the recepients of the keychains put them to good use.
