Flowers in February...

A few new things that are now in the drying process.

 This one was inspired by little violas

This one is inspired by

Black Eyed Susans

I like having surprises on the inside of bowls.

This is a simple cone flower

This one is an experiment.  It may go

right or not.  It is very large and

was designed to fit in a frame.

Will it work???

 There are SO many

factors to take into account 

such as the clay

shrinking to the correct

 estimated size or

the fact that it won't fit into my kiln laying

down so it will need to somehow be fired 

standing up on end in it's most delicate

dried state.  So if all works out

I will be amazed.

I still feel the 

need to try my ideas out and risk it.

Fingers Crossed it works...

  

New Pretty Items in Etsy

Here's a sneak peak at some new items

coming to my Etsy shop this week!

A lovely Monarch Bird Bath

A large Dragonfly garden plaque...

This bowl was meant to be a bird bath,

but you can use it in the garden or on your kitchen table.

All the glazes are food safe.

I designed this winter Rabbit to be an accent

in my winter planters like below.

This soft muted

Bird & Leaf Birdbath

A hanging bird bath!

Look for Bee & Butterfly waterers also

coming soon!

A Bunch of Sickies!

Didn't do any Art this week.  We dealt with a bunch

of sick animals.  Saturday night at like 11:30

we got home after rushing Angel to the

Emergency vet.  She threw up huge amounts

and then was having trouble breathing.

So we had x-rays, and a quick heart ultra sound

and blood work done but it didn't 

show anything, so the vet was guessing

she had an upset stomach. I know Duhh!

But we had to rule out the major stuff first.

So we got anti-nausea meds, and dog Pepto

to coat her throat and stomach.

She was about due to go back to our vet for a recheck

on her blood for her thyroid to adjust meds.

Then Wed she looked really bad.  Turned out she

had a temperature, and she had a gastro infection

that needs to aggressively be treated. Our vet

also didn't like the rate that her hair was growing 

back and thought her meds might need to be adjusted again.

Not easy to get lots of big pills down a dog

that doesn't want to eat anything!

Then Hazel wasn't eating and my stasis meds 

weren't working so I took her in to the vet.

She got some shots of the meds which made them 

kick in faster.

So as of today she is eating again.  The vet did see

one tooth that was a bit irritated.  She did see the beginnings

of a cataract forming for Hazel.   That didn't make me

happy as Benny has them badly now and really cannot see.

They are all getting older.

Hopefully they are both on the mend and will be feeling

all better by the end of this weekend.  My big plans

for the weekend are to catch up on sleep, love my 

fur babies and maybe play with some pottery clay!

Wishing you a Great Weekend!
