Speaking of talents

I know I'm frequently raving about Kristen's design talents, but how cool are the new business cards she did for our shop? I think they were the perfect background for the vintage clip on earrings I found over the weekend.

Help!

Anyone have a good source for large and well-organized and non-hideous jewelry boxes? Mine is a falling apart disaster.

Pottery Class Skulls and More

I'm hooked on puffy origami stars. I'm envisioning a humongo garland of them that I can drape around a room - or maybe just my ficus tree if the urge goes away. Pottery class update! Here's two of the skulls I made plus a litlle cat head. I'm going to incorporate them into a day of the dead art project. People in my pottery class are starting to give me strange looks.
Here's the other two. I promise that I'm working on my lackluster photography skills. Promise!
And a little pot I did. The glazing isn't great, but I'm learning and having fun. Not much else counts in my book.

I've had a bit of a snail obsession lately.

This was a happy accident. I smudged colors on there that were never intended for that tile. I love the effect though.

The far right one was a gift for my sister in Texas. Thought it was cute.

And this bowl is the first piece outta my class. A little lopsided, but cute.
