From Goodies to Gemstones
Inspired by last week’s loveliness of Waffles & Maple Syrup, I decided to make another patchwork dish.
Obviously I did something very right at the end of last week, as the kiln gods decided to be exceptionally kind to me. I can’t tell you how lovely this really is, the image truly does not do it justice. Good job really, as I had a fusing workshop at the weekend, and my lovely students were so productive, my kiln is going to be busy for a few days yet!So here’s some precious Emerald to feast your eyes on for now.
Edited to add: just published this page and saw how much it matches my blog page and logo!

A Bit of an Update
Talking to the family this evening about upcoming exhibitions and events – and my brother said he’d seen nothing about it (I know he checks my blog quite regularly to see what’s happening)So, I have done a quick update on the News & Events page, there’s a link on the left – briefly, November 11th & 12th Open Studios at Shed 2, 3rd December at Belper Strutts Society and 10th & 11th December, Craft in the City in Nottingham, Waterstones on Clumber Street.I will of course be promoting the living daylights out of these a little nearer the time! But meanwhile, I have got carry on with making some work for these events! Just so this post isn’t totally text, below is a quick photo I took on Friday of the Maple Syrup bowl showing how it casts coloured shadows. I have to say this is one of my own personal favourite bits of work to come out of the kiln for a while – I must have said something good to the Kiln Faeries that night….

Waffles & Maple Syrup anyone?
Well, you wouldn’t want to eat them out of this bowl, obviously – it’s got holes in it! And I hope you think it is rather too nice to be wanting to eat sticky toffee stuff out of anyway… just that a friend said it reminded here of it, and it’s kinda stuck (I am usually rubbish at naming stuff!)
And a view of the underside…see how it captures the light….
Nom, nom!!

Lots of Treasure…
I am part of some Etsy “Street” Teams, which means a group of people get together and help get us “out there”. There’s lots of ways of promoting, some I know, such as making treasuries, tweeting and facebook, others I need to learn about such as Pinterest or Squidoo (or maybe I don’t, they sound like time-eaters to me!)Anyway, here’s a couple of Craft Pimp treasuries that I have been selected for lately:And this treasury doesn’t feature me, but other members of the Frit Happens Team – isn’t it just beautiful?However, I am featured in this hot hot hot Frit Happens team treasury by Pandanimal:Go hunt some treasure….
