Goddess Sculpture for your Garden

Garden Goddess

Garden Goddess

All the years I did the fairs I had much better luck with these at garden shows than art festivals. Was it because gardeners have more on their mind than skinny body images? Are gardeners more earthy and down with the idea that bountiful is beautiful?

In any event, a Garden Goddess will watch over the steady growth and well being of any flower bed in which she is placed. They are hollow with nowhere for freezing ice to collect, so can live outdoors year-round.

Stoneware with porcelain inlay. Custom order one of these $500-$650 depending on size. Please give me 6-8 weeks.

P.S. Once, a friend placed a container inside and used one for a huge centerpiece arrangement for a big dinner party. Wish I had a photo!

Happy Child Sculpture

Stoneware Happy Child

Happy Child wants to dance in your home or garden…
On my way to making 100 of these…my spotty records show over 70 have found homes.

Have had fantasies of contacting all of the families with these in their collections to have one big “family reunion” and then take a photo of them all in one big group. Alas, have been an admin person long enough to know that would be a nightmare of organizing.

Height 14″ to 20″ – $350 – $500
Specify carved heart or without.

Triangle and Leaf Plates

Something Different for Your Table

They’re almost round but certainly not square: Tri-angular plates. And since you’ve broken the mold, how about leaf plates for salad and sandwiches?! These two are the sage glaze with cream surface. Can do them in blue/green with brown surface, too, or a mix & match of your desire. Plate – $36, Leafs – $26. A slightly smaller version of the leaf plate is available here at my Etsy Store.

Little Cutie Ceramic Vase

Stoneware Vase

Stoneware Vase

This little stoneware vase came out of our last wood-firing and is one-of-a-kind. Made from end of the day left over clay, she was just whipped out for fun. Threw her in the wood-firing because I figured, what the hay. She got such nice markings from the flame and ash she almost looks elegant now. A small beauty – $55. Available for Purchase.

Three-piece Canister

Stacking canister

Stacking Canister

One of the hardest things to do when hand building clay is to get lids to fit properly. So, why-o-why did I come up with a piece that has three “lids” to fit?!? Actually the trick was remembering high school geometry and “pi” and the rest is hoping everything dries and fires without warping too much. These make swell bathroom counter earring back, cotton ball, q-tip holders. $75-$85

Help with Flower Arrangements

Two Handled Vases

Two Handled Vases

These two stoneware vases with top handles will help hold flowers in place when you use them for arrangements. They are both in the dark brown glaze without the usual gold glaze drips. A client wanted one this way and they look rather stately. These are 11″ tall – $50 ea.

Sans Frond Boat Bowls

Variation of leaf bowls

Variation of Leaf Boat Bowls

When the customers asked for these bowls without the “frond” I was a little miffed as that is what makes the leaf bowls unique, but after making these two, I found they could have just as much personality with their off-centered shape and wavy sides. Handles aren’t for everyone and this handsome set will probably survive dishwashers (both human and machine) as well as fit into the cupboard much better without. $140 for this set.
