Double-sided bird pendants

Hello! I hope you all are well :)

Earlier, I got an order of 10 double-sided bird pendants from a shop here in Queensland.

I made 30 so she could choose 10 favourites out of 30. I always work this way for any custom orders. 

I really enjoyed making them! Tiny yet so much to go in and play together : textures, colours, patterns, relationship between the bird and the bead etc...

Today I sent the photos of the pendants finished. She came back saying she wants them ALL :) That made my day! :)

I am working harder than ever towards the goal of buying my own kiln to have at home. How convenient and efficient it will be...!  Hmmmm... (sigh with a smile!)

Have a nice week end (or a long week end for those in Australia)!!

Happy New Year!

A happy new year to you all!!

I am back to working with clay as of yesterday. 

It was nice to feel the porcelain clay in my hands again :)

I made a tea light candle holder, a coffee cup and two dishes.

Maybe one for a large creme caramel, the other for cherries? :)

Pizza time with a dear friend visiting from interstate :)

The gorgeous water jug is from carnevaleclay. 

Not in the photo but its matching cups are so gorgeous too!

A Christmas present from my friends : a 50 years old day bed in excellent condition from an Antique shop. LOVE it! Why did people stop making beauties like this...?

During the Summer holidays, I finally found time to work in the back yard which was found so neglected when we moved in 3months ago. This corner, the ground and all the walls and trees were covered by over-grown vines and the area was not accessible with stinging nettle and other weeds to my knee level. Now all cleared. I did not realise how big the space was!

I am building a raised garden bed and a coffee corner under the hanging candle lights. :) Still lots to do but very rewarding! 

Have a good day!
