Here are some highlights from the new pottery. These items are already listed at my ETSY shop.
This week I am hard at work, to fill the kiln one more time, before I have to put my ceramic work away, and begin some other painting projects for January.

Hello readers of this blog.
As you can see from the previous post, its been a few years since I updated. However, I still refer clients and friends to the large selection of of my work that is contained in this blog, from when I did keep it up.
It seems a shame to let it languish, so I will make the effort now to post from time to time, maybe even frequently. Stay tuned!!!! Here is some recent ceramic work of mine to look at:

Another Big Catch Up:Pottery Painted In September

I have been ignoring this blog in favour of the ever popular Facebook updates. Naturally, there are plenty of folks who prefer not to use Facebook, and so its quite unfair of me. In the next few posts I will attempt to get this worthy blog updated and current for Blog followers. My apologies!

 Here you see part of the big push for winter/Xmas inventory. Lots of pottery. I also have painted a large selection of cotton shawls, coming in the next post!

 All of this pottery is available at the upcoming Atomic Holiday Bazaar, December 10-11th, at the Sarasota municipal Auditorium.

Painted Upholstry On Painted CAhir

Some bright colours here- not for the faint hearted!!
I painted the striped fabric, and made the welting to cover the join of wood and fabric.





And its a very comfortable chair too!

Painted Chairs

Earlier in the winter I painted a variety of wooden chairs, one with an upholstered seat.
They were all pretty much vintage, and the upholstered one, clearly an antique, probably late 19thC or early 20th C.


Actually this carved , below, one looks pretty old: maybe Art&Crafts, or "Bungalow" style, from the 20s or 30s.



Chairs are very fiddly; the rungs and spokes can drive you mad . They require a lot of patience and detailed observation.














These two are matching (well, sort of!) swivel chairs. Bar stool height.



















It was a lot of fun painting them, and they are beginning to find happy homes!
I have some pictures of the upholstry up next.
