Betty Boop Candle Holder

What happens when I have a lot of doll heads and I’m ready to make something weird? I make a candle holder! This Betty Boop head got an upgraded makeover with an assortment of tattoos. It took quite a bit of work, but I love the result. She might be a little wonky-doodle, but it really gives her that handmade touch. She has found her new home and I’m glad she’ll be loved. I think I might be ready to make some similar beauties in the future.

Bougie Cat Bowl

A few months ago the studio did a themed show of bowls and I decided to try a creative interpretation. Introducing the ergonomic cat bowl — it’s slightly tilted so your cat can eat their wet cat food in bougie style. I tried one out for my own cat and it worked out quite well. I noticed a side benefit of creepy cockroaches not being able to get into the bowl since they couldn’t crawl up the glassy glaze.

Mushie Miniatures

It’s about time I dabbled in more miniatures. In between some of my larger ceramic projects, I make itty bitty pieces to strengthen my miniature-making skills. I wanted to try a mushroom motif on my tiny canisters, tea set, vessels, and other cute tiny wares. The mushrooms are hand-painted with Amaco underglaze. Most of these items are 1:12 or 1:10 scale. The last picture has a penny to show scale of the set. More pics detailing the scale of each item is available on Instagram.

Making miniatures is a real joy. People that work with me at the studio get a kick out of seeing me paint tiny designs while wearing my giant magnifying visor glasses. I hope to make many more miniatures in the future. Maybe more mushrooms? Time will tell.

Exploring Art with Sgraffito Plates

The more I explore ceramics, the more interesting techniques I find to create pieces. A friend of mine at the studio does sgraffito work and she showed me the ropes on how to achieve some plates. I often miss drawing regularly, and this method is a great way for me to work with ceramics and drawing.

These are some pieces from the last collection of sgraffito plates I made at the studio. I will be making more sgraffito plates in the future and they usually come in waves. In the meantime, I’m working on a big collection of miniatures. Stay tuned for new plates and itty-bitty ceramic pieces!

Doll and Ceramics: Micro BJD and Raku Pot

It seems I am becoming more and more interested in miniatures. This tiny BJD is one of my favorite little friends. She is only about 2 inches tall. It is amazing to see all these incredibly tiny little doll parts strung together. This doll artist is amazing! If you are interested in this doll, I typically buy them from New Clover Singing. They are not always in stock, but look for Guliver Small or XiaoXiao BJDs.

The ceramic items pictured are some of my recent raku pots. I’ve been experimenting with the Spectrum raku glazes and this is the lime color. I’m happy the color was retained in the glaze. I added glass black beads to the top of the lids to make it extra fancy.

There are more images of all these items on my Instagram account.
