My creative space

Today I'll try to finish off a custom order I started last week. It's the feeling 'oneness' but with a heart centered on each babushka and a custom message on the bottom.
The second custom I'd like to finish is a bigger size memorial feeling and it needs a woodgrain texture. The customer send me a drawing of how she would like it to look so I'll do a test run on a slab of clay. The clay is still too soft so I placed it on a plaster plaque so it can extract the water from the clay and make it leatherhard. I could also use my blowdryer but the one I used for the studio died on me recently...

Want to show your space? Hop over to Kootoyoo's to play! It's fun! :)

  5. I love your creative space! I work with fabric at home but on Fridays I go to the Volksuniversiteit to work with ceramics. My space at home is too small to mix both mediums.

  8. Custom orders make us do things we wouldn't think off, which is often nice :)
