Happy Holidays

Been too busy shopping for presents and preparing for company today, to work with clay. Once the holidays are over, production and creativity will begin again.

Raffles

I've been checking out art shows all around the bay area to get inspired. Just found out I won a raffle prize. Isn't that exciting! Can't wait to pick it up and see what I won. It's a necklace which one of the jewelry artists donated. I've donated work to raffles and its gratifying to help raise $'s for a non profit.

Last show of 2009

Did a small art show on Saturday. Plenty of people, but still tight with their $'s. We sold, but only older items that were marked down to giveaway prices. Maybe 2010 will be better. They keep saying the recession is over, but I don't see a lot of evidence of it.

New Birdhouses

Went to the studio yesterday. Brought home 6 new birdhouses that came out just great! The designs and glazes worked beautifully. Now all that's left to do is put hangers and perches on to complete them. We have a small show this weekend, but we will only be selling older items or items we no longer want. Since everything will be priced to go, maybe people will be in a buying mood. One can only hope!
