CLASSES WINTER 2011

A typo was brought to my attention. The student classes are for six weeks! I think we've got three and need just one more.

Long Stem Roses. $6 Dozen.

Handcrafted wooden roses. These bigger budded roses come on a 14" stem.
Magnificent! Great for Mardi Gras to throw from your float.

Black and Gold earrings - $20.00 ea.

You can never have too much Black and Gold. These black and gold beads are lampwork beads and GREAT! for wearing while watching the Saints games.







The bead on this last pair of earrings is actually made of clay polymer and swarovski crystals. Yes. I am playing with clay polymer again!

New Earrings - $20.00 ea.

Most of my favorite earrings sold for Christmas. The showroom was in much need of replenishing. The following earrings are made with handblown glass and are actually hollow. These hollow beads are my all time favorite beads. I made a necklace out of some hollow beads years ago and loved it so much I refused to sell. I am planning on starting a line with these beads. This is just the beginning. Someone walked in the studio this morning and snatched up a pair as I was photographing. Should have got a picture.

The incredible amazing green dot bowl!!

14" diameter. I don't know about you, but I think sometimes simple is so sweet. I love this bowl! I'm thinking I may have to just take this puppy home. (Of course, if you offer me a nice price, I may just let it go.) I've got this dot thing happening in my head and in my art. I'm thinking of starting a whole line of dot bowls, platters, and cups. Again.. this is just the beginning. Narrowing it down to greens, blues, yellows, and orange.

New! High Ball Glasses

Just wanted to share my first test of the painterly technique on glasses. I am trying to move towards stoneware with the painterly style. I really like the simplicity of the painted strokes, but missing my fine lines. There is something nice and refreshing about this. Could it be we like seeing images of spring in this cold weather? Or do they look more like Christmas and snow?

7 New Platters - 2 New Bowls

The following Platters/Bowls are new! The sizes range from 14 to 15" in diameter. The price for any of them is $60.00. You cannot imagine the work/time and electricity/supplies that went into making each one of these. My fave fave is the crawfish and the Rooster.

New Pendants! $20.00 each

Always my biggest seller at Christmas time. Fluer de li's, birds, fall leaves, and fish pendants. Every single pendant is hand made by me. They go through four firings to get them looking like they were dug up from an old treasure chest. The final firing is either 22 karat gold or platinum glaze to give them the rich look of true treasure coins. The pendants with the pearl center is an actual fresh water coin pearl. All pendants sell for $20.00 and make great Christmas gifts! The following post will be the trays lined up so you can pick the one you want. It is best to come in the studio to feel, hold, and see there true beauty.
