Porcelain keys

It's been a while since I posted creative stuff on my blog. This work above was done in between over the past few months and I only now get around making a finished product of it.
I just need to pimp the packaging a bit but hopefully I have time to do so later this week!
I haven't had much time to work on new things lately so I'm actually happy I managed to make at least one new thing...
Next weekend I'll be at the ceramic market in Maaseik (Belgium) and I'll be taking these along.
So if you're in the area, please pop by and say 'hello' to me! :)

Sad news

after fighting cancer for 4 years
52 chemo therapy's
lots of strength and courage
lots of fear and anger
lots of tears and sadness
but also very grateful
for the life that she had
for the family that she loved
for the joy and friendship that she recieved

my mom passed away on the 14th of May
it has been an unfair battle
but she fought it so bravely
eventually she lost

now we're left with memories
fond memories
of a very loving and caring person

she'll live on in our hearts
forever

thank you mom
for everything

Workshop results transfers

Above are some results of yesterday's transfer workshop! It was such a lovely group of people
together and we had great fun cutting, applying and eating cookies. :)
The results are super too! It's all in the kiln now so cross fingers that it will all come out well!

Definition of happy?

Definition of happy? Cookies, color and creative people. :)
Setting up the table for the workshop 'transfers' this afternoon.

Special beads

I've been asked to make some porcelain beads of a certain diameter. Not really easy as the porcelain schrinks when being fired. So I've been making and measuring and writing it down and hope that I will get the perfect bead diameter when they are fired. Fingers crossed! :)

Workshop transfers

Yesterday I had a few lovely ladies at my workshop transfers. They made lovely, unique tableware and besides working on their designs, they chatted the afternoon away. What a lovely way to spend the afternoon! :)

#patternsplease

On Facebook, I saw a hashtag #patternsplease by Janine from Uppercase magazine.

I got inspired to make some ceramic patterns. They are negatives from textured wallpaper and after they are fired, I can press clay onto them and get the positives. 

I love playing with textures and patterns, do you?
