Raven Meets Crow now on Etsy!

Mosaic and installation artist Jennevieve has created small sculptural works and made them available on Etsy at Raven Meets Crow, as of yesterday!
I was there for the photoshoot of this wired, buttoned, screwed crow sculpture and it's fantastic. It's beautifully balanced on its wire feet and has so much life. It's the embodiment of the raven and all we love about them.

Plate setters

Potters are often searching for good plate setters. I'm very pleased with mine so thought I'd share. They are Gimson VB V1 and I got them from Clay Art Center in Tacoma, WA.

These are the discs that you place the plate on. See the radial lines? Those allow air to circulate under the plate.



These are the discs stacked with the legs.



This is one of the legs. They come in various heights.


I use mine at cone 6, but I've heard of them firing higher. Again, Clay Art Center in Tacoma, WA is where I got mine. I plan to get a few more of the stilts so I can be efficient with space usage when firing lots of plates. Not that I want to fire lots of plates, but sometime....you just have to.

A Feature on By Hand Gallery

Karen of LemachiGallery, a team member of Design Style Guide, gathered a beautiful collection of works by Etsy artists and created a poster worthy design at By Hand Gallery She included my "Dinosauria" Lively Lidded Vessel.
I hope you'll take a moment to browse these talented shops.

Etsy Lounge finds!

The lovely Etsy Lounge has a nice feature up today and they've included one of my tea light holder cups, along with some other fabulous finds at Etsy.com

Blogging about chairs at Etsy Lounge

Andria over at Etsy Lounge blogs about artists on Etsy. She was kind enough to include my chair napkin holders is her post today. I like Andria's style of writing and she and I agree on the power of the CHAIR, as a symbol many relate and reacte to. An everyday object that says so much. Please check out her article. It's a good read. http://etsylounge.blogspot.com/
