morning kiln opening

tiles and buttons

Already a month behind, trying to get ready for Long Beach IQF. So it’s time to make lots of new, shiny, pretties. We are fulfilling the requests to have many single buttons, and we will still have the finished “button-cards” available. Also, we are presenting a mixed mosaic class for the Make It University. If our proposal is accepted, 25 students will have a colorful art piece to take home, ready to hang up, or give as a gift. As the examples come together, we will be posting them here.

Apologies about the online shopping. Honest we are working on it and have given ourselves a deadline of May 23rd. Thank you for your patience. love (and colors)

Kiln opening April 1st

Kiln Opening April 1st, 2008

Caffeine, cowboys, saints, bingo, loteria cards, and assorted craziness coming out of the kiln. I’m hoping for 2 more batches before the Chicago International Quilt Show in less than 2 weeks. yikes, I’m getting nervous. But we have a great spot in the Make it University area, we’re surrounded by fabulous artists, and we are still having fun putting the mixed-media collage cards and quilts together. (plus a secret: I’m making eyeballs! hee hee - myc)

March 17 kiln openings

glaze kiln opening

Always excited waiting for the kiln to cool enough for opening when we have finished a big batch of the prettys. So this is the preview of the buttons before they are selected for the mixed media cards. Return in a couple of days to see how these ceramic embellishments get singled out, or paired up for the completed collages.
