New designs...

It has been a crazy busy time in the studio. I have been obsessed with shape and form and how the glazes play with each other. Each bead has a different design on each side so it is sort of like getting two beads for one!

These designs are headed for gaea.indiemade.com today at noon (PST).

Join My Tribe!

New mid century and tribal inspired designs! I can't say how much fun it was to make these. I have a huge collection of mid century fabrics that make me so happy and are so inspiring! Something about that time period calls to me…

You can see these beads at gaea.indiemade.com now.

But a Bird On Your Cat! Book Reviews.

While it would be nice to think that I could pull up a soft over stuffed chair, pour myself a latte and dive into the complimentary copies of "Cats In Hats" and "Pretty Birds", both adorably sweet and creative titles, my reality looks more like an episode of I Love Lucy, on crack. I won't bore you with the details of influenza or fender benders but I truly had it in my heart to make at least one project from each book. The first thing I wanted to do is make cat toys with the cute little birds in "Pretty Birds". While I LOVE the idea of making the hats in "Cats In Hats" putting those hats on Pyewacket, Oni or Sweetie Pie would for sure put my life in danger. I need my skin. I did sit down and look through each book and love how sweet and beautiful they were. I loved that each project in Pretty Birds had a use for each project. It would be enough for these cute birds to just to get made let alone become ear muff birds. Although I've never crocheted or knitted, I could tell by the instructions in "Cats In Hats" that I could most likely complete a project which is no small feat.
