Today's throw

Threw this stuff this morning. The big domes with a hole in the top are Yarn bells. Not sure that they will be better than a yarn bowl, but I will test them out when they are done :)

Latest kiln load

This is the latest kiln load. The top shelf is all going into the Etsy shop when I have time to photo and post (this week...) and the bottom shelf is all special orders, except the yarn bowls on the right. Fun!!

Can I tell you how cool this garlic keeper turned out? Well, it turned out really freaking cool....



This one I am keeping and the other was a custom order. I plan to have more in the shop in the next couple of weeks, check back soon!!

Another load in the kiln...Bisque!

The first firing for this lot. Look at all the teeth! what fun!
I also made a big 'ol monster bowl, should be about 7" tall and about 10 "wide. Getting ready for Halloween!

The Renegade fair in S.F. !

Before the crowds...

And after...



The San Francisco Renegade Craft Fair was a whole lotta fun! There were almost too many booths as it took about an hour to even sort of peruse half of it and even then I saw people with really cool stuff that I missed. I also met some great crafters from as far away as New York! Yay!
There were also a whole lotta people there, mostly on Saturday. Word of advice for future fairs: Show up right at opening time, there was barely anyone around until about 1.5 hours after it opened...

PS: that rockin' peacock feather dress is by Wear Yeti, whom I shared a booth with. Go check them out...

Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco!
