This bell person "The blue egg" exceeded my expectations. Yay!!
I am very very happy with how she turned out - how the colour blue and the vintage lace imprint worked wonderfully together.....
Working with ceramics, there are always surprises. Good and bad. I get quite few bad ones.
But a nice surprise like this keeps me going:)
She is in my shop now : here
Other bell-persons in the photo are going to a local shop/gallery <Hanasho> on Boundary Street West End.
It is wonderful to reach out to the people out there via internet but I also love doing things 'local' very much too. I love that these bell persons will sit on the sunny shelf in the shop and have the opportunity to meet and interact with local people. People can really see the details or see them enjoying the sun, touch, feel its weight and shake it to ring the bell. The bell persons saying "hello" to people in my area, I think it is so nice.
I am in this city for 2.5years now. I think I am really starting to like it here :)
And some hand formed cups large and small. Just been painted :)
Have a good start of the week, every one!

very beautiful, like here peaceful expression that even gets strengthened by the blue, and the cups, that combination of rather solid form and the delicate painting, the bird head handle, your work is so very charming, x

She is beautiful - your bluebell! As are the others.... in their little, soulful party.
ReplyDeleteEach of your bellpersons almost take my heart out ;) They are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I love those painted in dark colors. And the green ones too. Which is surprising a little, because I really love blue shades...
Oh I've been lazy by looking at FB and not going to your blog........what a mistake! So much to see and read and enjoy here. Love your bluebell!!!
ReplyDeleteShe looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course you should share them locally - I love how my lovely bell lady sits with her face to the sun.
Your cups and dishes are making my cupboard shelves look very tatty indeed.
xx
Thank you so much for visiting and leaving lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteRenilde and Brittan, next post will be about cups when they are fired:)
Valerianna, yes they get noisy when they get together :D
Akatombo, it is very interesting for me to see which ones are more popular than others... often surprising. For a long time I always preferred making things in black and white, only recently I started enjoying colours...:)
Thank you Carole, I post on my Facebook page 'erinswindow' daily and I really should do more here on blog too...!!
Joanne, so lovely to hear about your bell lady! :) Actually my own cupboard looks quite boring! I should make more for my own home ;)
Your work has a beautiful otherworldly quality :)
