Fa la lalalala lalalalala

I am not sure I got the right number of Fa la , repetitions there, but the idea is I am producing Christmas oriented items at a rapid pace.  Multiple reasons for this, one is an upcoming sale where I am part of Santas village and on a more practical note, we need filler for kilns.

It is all well and artisitic to produce large bowls and vases, but to make a firing better and more economically feasible we need little pieces too.

so...working on balance again I need to have lots of small pieces, such as the wine tumblers, ornaments and then bigger bowls and plates with lots of things to put around them.




Christmas trees, leaf plates

Signatures Craft Sale Collaboration

I love working in collaboration with other creative people to bring our energies together, and create something great.

I have worked together with farmer, soap maker, activist, artist and mother, Louise Willow May of Aurora Farms to create rose night cream in brilliant red jars, alpaca yarn in my yarn bowls, handmade luscious goats milk soap on leaf plates and shaving soap in earthy, stoneware shaving mugs.

They will all be for sale at the Signatures Craft Sale November 22-25th at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, look for Aurora Farm!

 

How does my garden grow, and grow and grow

This last picture is the size of a sunflower leaf, what a great plate that will be.  Today I will be working on more bowls to try to have ready for Art in the Garden next week and handbuilt lace and leaf plates for fall orders.  Wolseley Farmers Market too, rain stay away!!!

The state of the Nation, or micro urban organic farm

It's not perfect.  That's why I call it Casi Cielo, not Cielo.  Translation:  Almost Heaven.  I worked along with Jackie to weed when it wasnt' raining and to add colour beyond green.  Here are some pictures, the sun is out and not out today, but harvested coleus leaves, rhubarb leaves, a few precious hosta leaves and Ladies Mantle leaves for cupcake plates.

Now I need to start thinning lettuces, beets and so on. Not to worry Peter Rabbit and we will enjoy them, noting to waste around here!
