Based on my 'colour spray' series (see below) I also came up with this bottle vase design in my last firing. I'm slowly working out enough of a collection to possibly introduce it more often into my regular work, although, it's extremely fussy to get the little stripes of glaze co-operating well. Basically each piece has been one of a kind for me, but hopefully I'll be able to sit down this fall and actually create the full collection for my website, including new colours or thinking about how the design could work on a teapot form or a bowl. The options are pretty wide open- a rainbow spray or colour gradient would look pretty rad too (definitely OOAK work- WAY too complicated for production!). So many ideas, so little time...

Weekend sketching
We had a wedding to attend this last weekend and I like to make cards to go along with my hand-made gift. So I started with a watercolour on some cardstock, inspired by these watercolours that I had painted last year. And then I just kept making a few more, playing with different colours and shapes. Sometimes it's nice to work on something small, working through a simple concept to see where it goes. Plus it's nice to have a few cards ready to go when the occasion arises.
