Taking a little Art Break....

I feel really short of time and

 like I never have enough of it lately.

With working full time and then all my animals,
horse and my art business.  I feel like I am
stretched....All by my own doing!
Guess I'm kind of a ...take on more than I have
time for kind of person!  I am short on
Vacation leave so I decided to not take
a week off like I usually do
 and just take a long weekend.

I have been shopping around for flowers,

herbs and vegetables.

I have 5 flower and garden nurseries that
I buy from.  I visited 2 of them 3 times because
I will need a filler plant for here, or more red in this section.
I never buy the pre-made hanging
baskets.  I make up my own planters.
It's just how I have always done it.

So all my flower shopping, with all my 

Birthday and Mother's Day gift cards

resulted in my buying over 15 flats of

plants and vegetables.  Yikes! I will be planting 

my fingers to the bone!  

Murphy my busy parrot and 

Angel May keep me company in the yard.

So one done and planted....

a zillion more to go!

Wish me Luck! 

I had limited time this week but
 was able to make these...

Even with a very distracting Parrot...

And this one because I never tire of bunnies...

My flower Inspirations~~

This dish was designed to be a large bee waterer.

  I googled colors and it said bee's are attracted to

 blues and greens.  So you could add glass marbles

 or pebbles in the bottom and just add water.

or it could be put on the bottom of a nice pot like the one above

and become a bird bath. My glazes are food safe so it is up 

to you what you want to use it for.

Bee's are not the easiest thing to make out of clay

and have them remain sturdy enough to dry & fire

I think these Bee's came out cute. 

I was really happy with how it came out and it's hard

for me to not just keep everything for myself when I love it.

The detail on this one took me some time.

You have to realize it's a minimum of 3 coats to get the glaze

thick enough and you can't have any color

dots or drips on light colors like the yellow 

or it would look a mess.

This little Chickadee Bird Bath was a custom order

and is on it's way to NY

for a Mother's day gift.

I am a fan of plaids so

why not on a bowl?

This  one will also be available without the stand.

The stand fits it perfectly!  I will gladly send

you a link of where to get it on Amazon.

This one is just a little dish that

could hold some jewelry on your dresser.
