Piece: Chevron Ceramic Box, Raku

This is a raku piece I did a few months ago that I'm particularly in love with! All of that gridding, measuring, and tedious work paid off. 

At some point perhaps I'll start making more things like this - perhaps an Etsy shop too?

[ website revamp ]

I haven't been posting much lately, mostly due

to the fact that I've been insanely busy revamping

my portfolio book and websites. My physical book,

website, and Etsy shop are all undergoing a little facelift.

 I'm switching over from a classic HTML site to a database driven
php WordPress site. I'm hoping that the transition will go smoothly,
and that the new slick look will really catch future employers 
(and customers) eye. With a little help from a good friend and 
some serious (yet constructive) criticisims from sister, I'm 
excited to see my end results!

[ art walk weekend ]

This past weekend was a busy one!

I spent most of my Saturday printing and

preparing for an art walk on campus for our

annual Family Weekend. I spent my evening 

advertising the Fine Arts major and selling cards.

After printing, folding, labeling over 150 cards
my lame little arms were sore from operating our 
huge cutting board! How pathetic is that? I need to 
get away from my desk and do something physically 
productive every once in a while ... gosh. 
That's embarrassing.


Well, after all of that I sold one, that's right, uno,
set of cards and got several parents very interested
in photography classes for their bambinos! 
Not too shabby.


ps. These cards are  available for purchase on my Etsy.

... and there it is. Well, at least some of its contents.

[ etsy finds ]

I really like Toon Design's Etsy shop, 

wouldn't these be great bridesmaid clutches?

Flowered Sky Beads has some cool pins for clutches.
Perhaps a fun addition to all of those cloth purses I've got?

ps. Today, I opened my own Etsy shop.
