A few new items! I really had fun with painting Roosters on the Yarn Bowls. I am still playing with the skulls on the mugs, I like the blue one best. Any thoughts? I tried my hand at creating a flask, this little guy is wheel thrown and then hand altered.
All questions or comments are welcome!
Sad to say I did not sell any items on eBay but it was a fun experience for me. I feel my product does not have a unique twist to grab their attention, who knows maybe one day!
I now have my Cyclops jug posted on eBay and am very nervous to say the least. It is like putting my heart out there for all to view. I love creating the jugs, I know I have sold a few jugs from the store but now I am placing my hat into a bigger arena. The big “what if” comes into play, the mind travels to all the possibilities that may or may not happen. I have told myself that if I do not try I will never know. Let the bidding begin. 
I added two mugs to the Etsy Store if you would like to take a peek.
I am very pleased with the main lot of items that came from the kiln and I think I will put two things up on eBay and even give etsy an other go with a yarn bowl. I was sad to say the two mugs I had with the skulls did not make it. I made a mold with a basic skull and would roll the clay into the sprig mold then attach it to the mug. I had an air pocket hidden, needless to say they blew in the bisque firing. A lesson learned and I hope I do not repeat in the near future.
Wanted to share a few items from the kiln
It has done nothing but rain here in North Florida, I know we could use the rain but still the same I would love to see the sunshine through the clouds. Even with the rain I was able to complete a glaze load. Took a few pictures that I would like to share and then I have to pack it all up to go to the store in the morning.
I think these little guys are cute and versatile. They will be going to Cedar Key next week with a few of his friends.
I just found the app for WordPress, man how cool is this? I am planning a trip this summer, now I will be able to post the latest creations from my class. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would love to text and I would be blogging from my phone.
Does anyone use instagram? I really like that as well.
The past few weeks have been very busy! I had two special orders to fill, one being a Cyclops jug and the other a face mug. I am proud to say I have received emails from both individuals saying they are pleased with their purchases. I get so excited when people get stoked about one of my creations.
When they contacted me it could not have been better timing. I was getting ready to run a bisque load but held off firing until I created their items. Once the items reached the leather hard stage I added them to the kiln and the rest is history.
I am throwing caution to the wind and I am re-opening my etsy store. This is a very big step for me because I am not a production style person. I prefer to throw a few mugs or bowls then complete what needs to be done. I like to take my time when creating the faces, trying to give each of them their own look. I guess you could say I am slow at what I do but give it my best. My style of mugs will range from folk art ugly mugs to whimsical faces.
my etsy store link will be on my blog but the web address is as follows http://www.etsy.com/shop/southernclaypottery. I hope you stop in as I will be adding new items every few days until I get the store stocked.
