I was asked to make these and I am happy they are now finished. I came up with the design of simple red hearts on a mug after one of my instructors at TCC, Karmien (
Sweetie) Bowman, gave me a wonderful critique after seeing some of my beads. She said that I should start thinking of my pottery forms in the same way I think about beads.
Not long after that critique I made a mug similar to the ones on the left. It's fantastic how a few simple words of encouragement can change the way a person creates. Since then I have not been able to throw or hand build a pottery form without her words coming to mind.
I haven't as of yet put sprig hearts on a bead, but someday ...
I definitely think you should make some more so I can buy some :) They are exquisite!
ReplyDeleteLove them!
Thanks! I have a few more that are different sizes but they are still unglazed. I am planning on putting on some different decals on top of the hearts and playing around with the design a bit more.
