my oldies but goodies

I was trying to upload pictures of what’s on my studio table right now, but somehow I’ve lost the pictures. However, I did find pictures of two very small vessels that I made a few years ago. Small, like the size of ring boxes. It was my first attempt to make this type of vessel after watching a Gwen Gibson video.

Faux ivory with faux abalone inlay. I still love these little guys!

And a detail of the boxes. Check back later – I hope to have the ‘what’s on my studio table now’ picture to show and maybe even a review of a very cool DVD that I watched yesterday.

    At the risk of being stoned by hundred of claying women across the globe, I think you should spend less time bloggin’ and more time clayin’….

    I love these! Would you mind telling us a little about how you made them? I noticed you describe others work but I would love to hear how you made these as they are very beautiful!!!

    Now THAT’S my kind of art! They truly look ancient. as though they were passed reverently from generation to generation of desert nomads.

    Susan…those are just wonderful! What gorgeous work you do….with Kathi, I’ll second Toby’s sentiment…

    I had to smile though, when I noticed a bit of a ‘curly q’ showing on one of the boxes in the photo…..you can run, but you can’t hide! I love ‘em too…

    These little boxes are really swell. They look so ancient like hidden in an attic and just rediscovered.

    For those of us who have not seen your oldies they are inspiration.
    As for your newbies, we try to learn by your side.

    I think it’s wonderful to see how an artist grows ,
    this way we learn to become more accepting in our own artistic path .
