Artifacts Booth

On the shelves
I recently starting making chic signs for the home. In the store now we have "Powder Room" in a pink vintage paper, with a red ribbon ooh-la-la ladies. We also have Our Nest on a vintage wallpaper design, with an adorable little bird stealing away the last letter, too cute! As well as Garden District, reminiscent of New Orleans y'all, done on a burgundy vintage wallpaper. Let me know what other kinds of phrases you would like to see!

Look for ceramic blocks spelling out "BABY" they have a little surprise, each one is hollowed out to hold special treasures! Baby teeth, jewelry, etc!

We've got lots of pitchers, mugs and vases, as well as some great leaf plates/spoon rests, lots of 1930's framed Europe photos, hand made recycled candles, hand made hardwood knitting needles, hair pins, hand knit scarves, stick weaving kits and of course a few plates and bowls.

Coming Soon
I am quite the busy bee lately. I have been working on all sorts of new goodies for my Artifacts booth. I wish I had all of them done for Frolic on Franklin today, but we'll just have to settle for a few new things. There is quite a lot of pottery on my shelves waiting to be finished up, look for it in the next couple of weeks.

I've started making hand-made books using vintage paper on the cover and drawing paper on the inside suitable for journals, sketch books, scrap books or even photo albums. If you would like a custom book make, let me know I can make up just about anything you want.

I have been working on some spooooky-chic Halloween decorations that will be coming soon. Look for letter blocks spelling out "EEK" or "BOO" as well as some wooden garland you are going to love.

Progress

I have been working on pottery again. I finished 16 pieces, got them fired and glazed all but one of them and turned them in to be fired again. I have noticed when I am working in my studio everything seems more pleasant and happy. It is work and it is quite exhausting to do it for too long, but it has become my happy place.

I've also been putting together photos to make some compilations to print, matte and frame. Matting and framing is really quite expensive, especially when you need multiple windows cut out. I found a cheaper alternative at a local craft center, but their turn around is so slow that you really have to plan in advance to get anything done.
