Since the New Year

These are images from the first two months of 2013.

The gorgeous orchid was bought at 2am on January 1st by my wonderful sister and her boyfriend from a mini floral market that is open 24/7 and happened to be on our walk back home from the New Year's Eve festivities.  I am proud to say that 2 months later it is still alive and gorgeous, at last we have kept a plant alive!!

The little porcelain bits and bobs are some new jewelry ideas that I have been playing around with.

I have been enjoying using my own plates at home.  This image was taken while enjoying one of my favorite breakfasts - Wasa crackers, spreadable herbed cheese and cucumbers.

My birthday was in January and my adorable and thoughtful husband baked me a cake.  It not only looked amazing, but was also de-li-cious!!!

I have been hard at work in the studio working on a new plate design.  Above is the plaster model that I carved and will make a mold of.  I am hoping for some good results so I will keep you posted on how it turns out.

In the Studio

Transforming grey porcelain pieces that just came out of the kiln into earrings. This process always takes longer than I expect!

In The Studio

 

I am working on getting together a jewelry order for The IKSV Design Shop and my own Etsy Store.  This is a pre-firing image of some of the ceramic pieces I finished this weekend.  If you know my work you will recognize the white, grey and black pieces from my Bone line that will soon become earrings and necklaces.  The not so recognizable pieces on the right are part of my new line! They will fire to a beautiful dark chocolatey brown.  Stay tuned for the finished work!
