stamps

Here are some different stamps i really liked...


I use these kind of stamps all the time when i scrap book. Although these wouldnt be ideal for clay, i wanted to show the kind of stamps i am most familiar with.












I really like these stamps because i love to use flowers in my work. I love the groves in it.

Garden Art I like

Here are some ceramic garden pieces I like.....







This is a really nice ceramic bird feeder. I think I could make something like this. I like the lines that form the squares and I really like the color.












I really like all water fall type things like this. I think it would be really difficult to make since there are so many different pots involved.




Mardi Gras Mask

I decided to make a mask in honor of mardi gras. This mask includes pieces of broken glass around the edges and was created by using a slab and draping it over a plastic mask.




This is the mask when it was unfired. I got the edges of it really wet with slip and then sprinkled the broke glass ontop it it.








This is the mask after it was fired once. At this stage I put white glaze over the entire thing and wiped it off the melted glass part.







This is the mask after I put a low fire clear glaze over it. I was pretty satisfied with the end results. Next time I will make sure the melted glass will cover the whole area I want it to.

This post is to show all the different mugs I have found and that I like. Hopefully I can make some of these in the future.



I really love the animals attached to these. Much better when its not completely smooth around the mug.

I really like this mug alot. You can tell that this is done by hand. I absolutely love the glaze used at the top and the way it changes colors towards the bottom. ------->








This is my favorite mug. I love Disney so Mickey Mouse would be something I would do for my bug. I also love the writing on the inside lip.

Even though this mug is pretty simple I like the way the handle is painted and the colors used for the glaze. ----->
