Bisqued ornaments waiting to be decorated.
Ornament production is underway at the studio. While I was creating the discs, I started mulling on patterns. I wrote down five ideas, and once I got going, the ideas started flowing. It's rather miraculous the way one idea flows into another, creating inspiration and flow. It's my favorite part of the process.
A few prototypes, before the firing.
While working on the mural for Rex, I'd have periods where I'd just look at the blank tiles feeling like I was wasting time, but then inspiration would come, and in a few hours, I would fill in a quadrant. I'm also making tiles to cover the metal frame that will hold the mural. I want them to have a bit of a lip to hide the metal frame. I've been thinking about how to get the framing tiles made quickly. In those magic morning hours, between sleep and awake, I saw the shape of a tool I could easily make and achieve my goal.
It's wonderous fulfilling needs through intention. Whether it's decorating, designing, or producing, holding a thought and mulling on it is one of the best ways I problem-solve.
The first prototypes out of the kiln. Once I have a few more I’ll start putting them on the website. If you’d like to see the ones I did last year, shop here.
