Ramping up for the holidays

It was a pleasure meeting so many of you in Auburndale. I always love getting to meet you all face to face and to get feedback on my work.

With the show out of way, now it's time to build up my shop for the holiday rush. I have lots of great new ceramic pendant and bead designs that are already posted to my Etsy shop and I have many more that I just need to photograph and get listed. I have many more necklaces in a variety of price ranges and designs that I have started posting, too.

In process, I have some experimental pendants constructed of porcelain and stoneware that I'm working on, which I plan on melting some glass into. They have one firing left to go.

I also got some great dicroic glass scrap that I plan to make some beautiful pendants and earrings out of, maybe even some pins that look so wonderful on those sweaters and coats in the cooler weather. I have both the clear and black dicroic, so I have quite a lot of variations I can do with it. I'll have to see what strikes me when I sit down to make them.

I've added a link to the Etsy Mud Team Blog ring on my page. It should be active very shortly. Check this out to see some really wonderful clay artists. Yes, their work is wonderful, too! :o)

Loving this cooler weather we are finally getting here in Florida! Makes it a little easier to work around the kilns.
