Looking for Inspiration in Nature. I think the ceramic rock-stars Diana Fayt and Ayumi Hori do a great job and probably do get inspiration from nature.
Take a look at these natural suckers….don’t drool. They got ceramics going on.

I’m so excited!!! We’re off to the 64th annual Bellevue Arts Museum artsfair. My first time ever!! This Friday-Sunday, July 23-25. I would love to have you stop by and say hello. We’re in outside at booth S-24 – it will be the most exciting and fancy ceramics booth there. Think dancing bears and hula-hoops. Please mention that you got this message from us it would make me feel that it’s not just my family reading this.
There are a lot of really incredibly accomplished craftspeople/artists at the show and I feel really lucky to be a part of this. I think one of my most favorite things ever about making ceramics, besides the actual making and dreaming of making, is participating in these shows. Though shy, I love talking about the things I make and my process. I enjoy meeting other artists and people interested in my work The feedback is always really nifty. It’s a great time at these shows. Well I think this is enough for now, I need to get back to work.
Good thing I’m so excited that I can hardly sleep because I really do have a tonne of work to do. Hope to see you at Bellevue.

Here’s a great blog that I enjoy following
Nagware was highlighted on the website. A diabetic coworker suggested I do something to this affect but I never did.
“These plates by Rui Pereira and Hafsteinn Juliusson, a pair of Icelandic designers, are decorated with recommended serving portions. Designed in 3 styles, the Super Size, The Extra Ordinary, and The Diet. These plates take the hard work out of portioning your meals for proper eating.”
They also look pretty pretty.
Another idea that I’ve been toying with including recipes with my pieces. Another idea that I should act on but haven’t..yet…

“The construction phase of a project, now that’s the wonderful phase. The phase of its completion is less interesting.”
- Jean Dubuffet
Construction is the great phase. Dreaming up enormous, completely unrealistic ideas is fabulous. If only I have half the skill required for the various projects I have dreamed up. Not only the skill but the time, organizational skills and money needed to complete these dreamed projects. One day…

This mug found at Target does nothing for me. I know this type of handle is very common but it does nothing for me. Where’s the inspiration? What do you think?
OK Eric and I have an on-going “discussion”, a passionate discussion about my mug handles.
On a mug I like a big handle, but after really thinking about mugs for a week I realized I rarely hold mugs by their handle but rather by their bottom. What about you? What do you look for in a favorite mug? Or plate or bowl. I personally like a bowl that I can easily hold in my palm. Ideally something that nicely holds two scoops of ice cream!
Leading ceramic artist Larry Halvorsen recently looked at my mugs and sided with Eric about the mug handles, darn. What do you think?

I just stumbled across this artist’s work on the Plate a Day website. Holy-molly is this stuff a cool texture-o-rama? I just find her work to be stunning. Very textural. I love it. I love how the light interacts with these pieces.

This is nifty textural work from Sora Hikari, great theme based work. Some of my favorite items. I can feel the touch just through the pictures.
