I've been waiting on pins, needles and anxiety for my mug decals to arrive. In the past, it seemed as simple as just waiting for the person with the machine to print them. This time, I went with a different, more commercial company and had to wait my turn. Then the two-day shipping turned into four, and now I'm sitting in my studio with a bunch of white mugs waiting for UPS to deliver. I spent Monday evening cutting the decals apart to fire on Tuesday. The decals are fussy little things; if I over-pack the kiln or not give them enough air, I might lose the red and yellow. That would be disappointing. It's Wednesday; all the mugs and ornaments have been fired and look great! The decals have a matte finish, giving them a toned-down look. They're dishwasher—and microwave-safe, so you can enjoy using them as much as you'd like. AND I ACTUALLY HAVE THEM ON THE WEBSITE FOR YOU TO PURCHASE!!! There’s a limited amount: 24 wide open mugs and 15 squirrels. I also have ornaments that you can see on the website. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/bac6cd45-f788-4600-9c5c-38ffc76ef5c8/IMG_0228.webp Blog - IBMA Wide Open Bluegrass Mugs are Here! The festival's crafts section is on Friday and Saturday. Because of hurricane Helene Friday will start at 5pm and go to 11pm. Saturday will start at noon and also end at 11pm.

I've made about 30, and I'm having so much fun. They're quick when you're well-practiced and time-consuming when you're not. I'm having fun because I'm watching myself get faster while making better handles. Handles make mugs a misery when you produce them infrequently. A good mug handle doesn't come above the rim. That's so you, the customer, can stack them in your cupboard. I didn't achieve that initially, but now I'm on a roll. I'm still designing the images for the pieces, and when we get closer to the extravaganza, I'll give you a secret word for a discount and let you know where you can find me on Fayetteville Street. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/the-thrilling-impact-of-fun monthly 0.5 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/8242edd5-2820-4b68-9feb-1d8d60246395/IMG_5927.webp Blog - The Thrilling Impact of Fun! I had put Fun at the top of my list of things to accomplish while in Ashe County. And I did—so much so that when I realized my phone had fallen into the river after I jumped out of the kayak to get past some rocks, I just kept going; the peace and joy of a float down the river wasn't going to be ruined by the loss of some plastic, glass, and metals. Although, I did feel rotten about polluting the river. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/c75a7c0e-af7f-4dbb-91ae-304e0900a8f7/IMG_5866.webp Blog - The Thrilling Impact of Fun! Using The Power of Fun's definition that true Fun is a combination of connection, playfulness, and flow, I realize it's challenging to achieve all three simultaneously. I thought I needed playfulness, but playfulness is tricky without connection—there's too much room for misinterpretation. You can create connections in small amounts, such as while working in the studio, conversations on walks, or learning to fly fish. Talking while doing is one of the easiest ways to bond with someone. One of my hosts, One of my hosts, Anna, opened up with questions and stories while kayaking; Mike, Anna's partner, and I schmoozed over afternoon drinks, the three of us over dinner prep, eating, and cleaning up, Chris, a potter, when we were fly fishing, and Suzanne, a natural tour giver, when showing off her new town. These shared experiences are what make journies meaningful and fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/39268632-7f54-4725-a67c-7c47e672eb53/IMG_5931.webp Blog - The Thrilling Impact of Fun! - Make it stand out Chris, Myself, and Suzanne at Old Barn Winery, located in the center of the Christmas tree farm https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/ikigai-creating-a-life-with-authentic-flow monthly 0.5 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/28ec0b94-d76d-47e0-9ed8-ae99e33eb599/IMG_5900.webp Blog - Ikigai, Creating a Life with Authentic Flow - Make it stand out The entrance to my friend’s Mike and Anna's Riverview Treehouse.

The finishing touches have yet to be done, but everything you need functions. Before I arrived, I was curious about how the composting toilet would work and how much care it would require.

Transitioning to a new place and reconnecting with old friends takes time. I've been here a week; there's so much to share. I love it here in my Riverview Treehouse. When I arrived at my friend Mike's house, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that his Anna was an Anna I already knew. They got together years ago after I left Beaufort, and we spent much time catching up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/ba7129d3-9ed4-4806-821b-e5eb5e37d664/Riverview%2BTreehouse%2BInterior.webp Blog - Ikigai, Creating a Life with Authentic Flow - Make it stand out In this image, you can see that I have a small dining table for two (I keep the chairs folded up). The kitchen has a fridge with a freezer and a boat-sized sink. and counter space for food prep. I do most of my cooking, so I prep everything first and move it to the left side of the sink. I can choose from an induction cooktop, an air fryer, or a microwave to cook. They're stored in the cabinet below. This section of the house is 10' x 12', not much bigger than the 10' x 10' booths you see at craft fairs.

That's called relaxing, and it's part of the plan, but scrolling is not. There's a chair and table by the river, under a tree where I see myself. My book club is reading The Power of Fun by Catherine Price, one of six books I'm bringing. I'm also taking The Ride of Her Life, by Elizabeth Letts, the story of 63-year-old Annie (who's given two years to live), her horse Tarzan, and her dog, Depeche Toi. They travel from Maine to the Pacific Ocean through a world transformed by the rapid construction of modern highways between 1954 and 1956. Some others are Violetta by Isabel Allende and Strength to Strength by Author Brooks; all are books about transformation, the fiction ones with feisty female protagonists. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/im-running-away-from-home monthly 0.5 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/3ece5a97-e4b8-41e6-868d-033b9eaa2e0b/Tiny%2BHouse.webp Blog - I'm Running Away From Home - Make it stand out My home away from home for three weeks.

I know there was lots of competition for your attention, so I'm particularly grateful to those who came by. Today, I'm off to TileFest '24: For the Love of Tile, hosted by TileWorks of Bucks County and The Tile Heritage Foundation. The festivities are at The Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown, PA, this Saturday and Sunday, May 18th and 19th, 2024.

Because of the glaze defects, it gets moved around the studio a lot. It is too pretty for the trash and not suitable for selling. I tried taking it home and using it for utensils, but the opening is too narrow for that. So it's living at the studio again, and I can’t stop looking at it. I've fallen deeply in love with its shape—visually and functionally. The pot's subtle and graceful lines wow me. The modest swelling of the pot's belly, the nuanced neck narrowing, and the ever-so-slight mouth opening—I did that with minimal effort and even less thought. As my love grew, I wanted to repeat this perfect little miracle of form and function. If you thought this would be easy, let's think again. Here are my efforts over March and into April. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/629b6924-b0aa-4bfa-95ac-ece7779d997d/IMG_5187.webp Blog - The Practice is Perfect After I made this second batch, I brought the original vase back from the house and placed it in front of the mirror in front of the wheel. It's new home. The mirror lets me see the shape I'm throwing without distorting my body. That helped. Even with the original in front of me, I still can't seem to get the belly of the pot off the foot, where a more graceful shape would be found. There's nothing subtle about those bellies, either. There's lots to say about voluptuousness; these chubby little pots are charming, if not what I was going for. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/memories-sisters-and-beaufort monthly 0.5 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/5a0c8a48-1b8a-4026-8816-f41475668778/IMG_5093.webp Blog - Memories, Sisters, and Beaufort - Make it stand out Enchantress is the boat my then-husband and I sailed into Beaufort, NC.

We were two years apart and barely noticed the age difference. With six children in the family, toys were limited. The memory of cold winter mornings, wrapped in blankets and playing cards, where the goal was to lengthen the game of 500 rummy instead of being the first to go out. No three-of-a-kind matches were allowed so that we could have long runs and big points. A parent would deliver tea and oatmeal to the sofa where we played—hot chocolate at Christmas. Life works things out; we both ended up in North Carolina because of men who loved boats. When my father was dying, we traveled together, and the teamwork we learned as children kicked in with me doing the cooking and her cleaning up. We are a well-oiled machine. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/vacationing-with-covid monthly 0.5 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/869a9a8f-601d-4788-908f-1a22e670db92/Plates.webp Blog - Vacationing with Covid - Make it stand out Greenware image of the dinnerware I’m making for myself. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/valentines-galentines-day-pottery-classes-and-coffee-cafe monthly 0.5 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/b041fad1-08ee-42a6-bc1b-345c3f339248/Marina%2BBosetti%27s%2BSir%2BWalter%2Bmug.webp Blog - Valentine's / Galentine's Day Pottery Classes and Coffee Cafe One of the perks of doing a show at Rebus's cafe and grocery is that you get your very own coffee flavor of the month.

I do not know the man who wrote the description, but I can tell you that the characterization is a bullseye: the coffee is delicious. If you go by the cafe and order a drip coffee, you can experience this tasty blend. Double the meaning this Valentine's Day by taking a class, seeing the show, and having breakfast or lunch at Rebus Works Cafe and Grocery! You can also pick up a pound of coffee with a Cracker Jack like prize made by me and a limited edition Sir Walter Raleigh mug. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/4ba21146-0a74-4ce5-89ff-f1d235e1ffd7/RebusReception.webp Blog - Valentine's / Galentine's Day Pottery Classes and Coffee Cafe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/34f2047e-96c8-4976-bafb-187b2a17ad52/Bl_Plates.webp Blog - Valentine's / Galentine's Day Pottery Classes and Coffee Cafe - Make it stand out In the first hour and half of the class we texture a 3’ x 2’ sheet of clay, using molds we press the clay into plates, when ready the plate’s edges are finished, and the bottoms smoothed.

Today, Greenwell upholds the original vision of Rebus Works as a space rooted in the local community, featuring the work of area artists and hosting The Saturday Market, where farmers and crafters show off their wares every weekend. Off the beaten path, the Rebus Works Cafe is a quiet place to recenter yourself in a busy world, grab some lunch, or share a beer with a friend. There's an unequaled selection of beers and nonalcoholic drinks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/d31be13e-c174-4afa-9364-2dced04ea411/IMG_4781.webp Blog - Tonight Tonight, Symbols of Home Opens at Rebus Works Pick up dinner from a selection of frozen foods from healthy chefs like: Soul Cocina, Homeland Creamery, Raleigh Tamales, and Ladyfingers Gourmet to Go.

Me! After a week on the sofa, I'm looking forward to getting out and seeing your face. I generally don't pre-choose outfits, but I did for this event.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could turn that ripple into a tsunami of love! Let's keep going until we succeed. Let's honor our earth and each other, appreciate all we have, and give back from our hearts.

I like the red ones best, but as red is my favorite color, I'm biased and doubting myself. The blue fired more blue-green than blue, but still not as Christmasy as I'd like. When I showed the blue to another potter, she mentioned the color would get lost in the tree. Then I thought, why not lean into that and let the bee be. So I did some in green. Please weigh in with your thoughts; otherwise, I may work through all sixty of my glaze colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/bee6068c-bd88-46e2-bd5a-4d7b5fba020a/Bosetti%2BArt%2BTile%2BMural%2Bat%2BRex%2BCancer%2BCenter.webp Blog - Want Christmas Ornaments that Charm and Celebrate Nature? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/bee-fantastic-im-busy-creating-for-the-season-of-giving monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/6a914023-cc45-48ba-8c8c-a6e2e2cbd697/Halloween%2BJack-o-lanterns.webp Blog - Bee Fantastic –I'm Busy Creating for the Season of Giving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/f902f192-a56f-4072-ab8d-654dd810ec9c/Bee_opt.webp Blog - Bee Fantastic –I'm Busy Creating for the Season of Giving Ornament-making is seriously underway, and they'll bee fantastic.

Yellow is my color this season. While searching for new glazes, I came across the most beautiful butterscotch hue. Not only does it fire with a glow, but it also goes brown where the glaze is thin. Similar to how yellow petals age on mums. When I came out of my surgery haze, I noticed my neighbor Anna's garden had bloomed into an abundance of beautiful yellow and purple flowers that visually knocked me over. Her garden made me see yellow differently. Inspiring me to make the color a star this season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/27c57dbb-f3c8-4023-8791-eca46b556beb/IMG_4424.webp Blog - #wip = Work in Progress - Make it stand out In following my flow I seem to be narrowing my subject matter down to cone flowers, sunflowers, and poppies.

That didn't happen. The weeks have been tough, but each day is better than the one before, with more energy, flexibility, and muscle strength returning. The surgery went great. When the bandage came off, I was delighted by my surgeon's craftsmanship. Today, I go for my two-week check-up; I'm sure I'll make my goal of driving, except for one hitch. I don't have a car. Two Sundays ago, a friend came to visit. On leaving, she misjudged the distance between our two vehicles and damaged my van's front driver's side corner. It's in the shop till the eleventh. I'll see you at the studio then. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/table-lamps-commissions-and-nesting monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/b4a3253f-f5c4-4ff4-8728-521a2afd658d/IMG_4385.webp Blog - Table Lamps, Commissions, and Nesting - Make it stand out These hearth tiles were fired several times to achieve this beautiful emerald green. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/7ddb6619-e10d-4a81-995f-cf66b9f8fbab/NewWork.webp Blog - Table Lamps, Commissions, and Nesting - Make it stand out New vases and lamps using an assortment of shino glaze colors from Coyote Glazes.

My trip West was a big success, and I now have a prominent display in Asheville's "New Morning Gallery." They just held their 51st Annual Village Art & Craft Fair. The work's stellar quality makes it a fair extraordinaire, and I look forward to doing it next year. This year, I'm having my knees replaced. I know everyone says they wished they'd done it sooner, but there is a sadness to losing something you've had for over sixty years. Me and my knees have done a lot together. When I was small, I confused the word legs with eggs. It cracked my father up. Together, my legs and I learned to waitress, climbed the rigging to set sail on tall ships, started a pottery business, slung 50 lb bags of clay off the back of freight trucks, played "I'm gonna get you with" my dogs, loaded and unloaded so much pottery from the back of so many vehicles over the years I can't count as well as having danced into the night. I have sadness about this, but it's not about scars. I know it comes to all of us, but this recognition of youth lost is complex; it's part of my sadness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/a53058f5-fcd5-4cf2-b6de-0dbf58edaaed/Coneflower%2Band%2BBlackeyed%2BSusan%2BKitchen%2BBacksplash.webp Blog - No matter how much you love them, some things need replacing. - Make it stand out Shortly after publishing the blog the install picture came in.

As I approach the first surgery date, September 22nd, three things bolster me. One is that my husband and friends have my back. My favorite foods are in the freezer, the railings are going up, all the support equipment is in place, and the dog will be on vacation for the first few days I'm home. I've also taught her not to jump on me. Two, everything will be more fun when it's all done. Three, my work only gets better. There's a glow and vitality to the work I took to the mountains and the work I'm producing now. It energizes and motivates me to heal and get back to the studio. I'm finishing commissions and expect to participate fully in the Boylan ArtWalk. With the second surgery on December 8th, I'll keep you posted on holiday hours. There'll be a limited amount of work this year. But I promise that the work there is will be vibrant and full of celebration for life's joie de vivre. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/going-west-for-fun-and-profit monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083054507-RGKYHBTSD829AAN6GGCJ/Bosetti_082123-4252.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083056605-21LQR1NZ72U7FHOEZUNQ/Bosetti_082123-4253.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083057813-8OHCGUZNBIQEX4767ZII/Bosetti_082123-4254.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083059314-IRWNMVWGR0M060RDX01M/Bosetti_082123-4220.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083061091-O8H2VQ62P4FGDU4GV5NH/Bosetti_082123-4240.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083062840-0VZ7W1I6MZ43JY2S1AER/Bosetti_082123-4248.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083064340-P5290FL0EIR6FFMY87M7/Bosetti_082123-4250.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083065704-ETS6275SQTJ4DM7QFAD5/Bosetti_082123-4246.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083067141-GPA4TX99OLKMC7X7V9S8/Bosetti_082123-4251.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083068503-00IUAUEIQ8HR41TIKFTW/Bosetti_082123-4219.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083071243-6E01F083NQB12FP5OQ3Z/Bosetti_082123-4229.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083072608-28JOZI6Q5PVSKNGOP6CG/Bosetti_082123-4237.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083074218-1WO2L80L7TDHIR51HVWU/Bosetti_082123-4232.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083075874-G4G6XA6XNSC6VWP79CIV/Bosetti_082123-4234.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761083077552-6WB0HCFBQSMLTYA4T9RL/Bosetti_082123-4221.webp Blog - Going West for Fun and Profit https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/fck-ups-and-disappointments monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/e27c440c-ef8b-4410-a500-12a89c636057/Examples%2Bof%2Bcrawling%2Bon%2Bfloral%2Bvases%2Bby%2BMarina%2BBosetti.webp Blog - F*ck ups and Disappointments - Make it stand out The center vase is a classic example of crawling.

It wasn't a new batch, so it had fired fine in the past. I thought maybe I put the pots in the kiln to wet, but then it had a six-hour preheat the night before (the kiln that didn't fire), so moisture wasn't the issue. I'm conclusionless. I went to the clay store, chose the underglaze from the same brand as the glaze I'm using, and proceeded to the studio to test it. Applying the new underglaze was like putting soft butter on warm homemade bread. Delightful. I'm careful to wait for the underglaze to dry before layering the glaze on, just to be safe. As I try to understand why this happened, slow is the way to go. My good friend "clay" isn't fond of rushing, so I'm being patient. I'll have new beautiful vases to show you next week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/35b3449b-6594-430c-bf56-37e14042f6d2/Custom%2Bbirthday%2Bgift.webp Blog - F*ck ups and Disappointments I've been keeping a secret from you. I swear like a sailor, although I was one in another life. Last week I was all excited to show you my new bulgy-shaped pots when the kiln didn't go to temperature. So Wednesday morning, my studio mate and I waited till the kiln was cool enough and moved all the work into the other kiln. Thursday, excitement turned to dismay when I opened the kiln and saw that the background glaze had either fallen off the pots onto the shelf or crawled (a condition where the glaze crawls away from itself), ruining two custom orders and the three vases I was so eager to share. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/i-love-sexy-what-nature-offers-is-better-than-a-womens-volleyball-game monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/bbadce54-8990-4835-aa76-d53a794e3ca9/BlugingTree.webp Blog - I love sexy.

What nature offers is better than a women's volleyball game. The inspiration for my work comes from nature, and because I live in a city, it's in the form of gardens. Watching flowers as they begin to bloom, you can sometimes see a change in as little as an hour. I only notice this when I'm weeding. I'm not sitting and watching. I relish the colors and textures in my neighbors' gardens. I'm always surprised by the beauty I didn't see when selecting plants for my yard, much like the "ah ha" moments I experience when a customer chooses unexpected colors for a project. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/you-can-ignore-this-but-please-dont monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/40dcf9f9-7cc3-4f26-8d41-7fdb9a83be9e/YellowPurpleGreen.webp Blog - You can ignore this, but please don't - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas-heres-why monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/642b0e20-d7b8-42e4-bac5-03e768f88983/Fall%2BLamps.webp Blog - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; here's why. - Make it stand out In this first lamp the new colors are the background green and goldenrod yellow in the bees.

Getting an email whose subject line starts with the word interview is always fun. In this case, it was for Midtown and 5 West magazines back in May. I was about to leave for the tile festival, so we quickly talked; I sent some pictures and promptly forgot about it in the frenzy of show preparations. Over the holiday weekend, I gave my arms a break and stopped glazing for a few days. Browsing past emails instead of mindlessly scrolling Instagram, I came across the original email and realized I should follow up. I emailed and asked if the article had come out, and it had. Here's the link for the online article, or you can pick the magazine up at your favorite supermarket. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/i-laughed-out-loud-i-bet-youll-smilethe-ups-and-downs-of-potters-life monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761084326320-11QILAWF6039D21FQ8BC/Cobalt%2BCutie%2BTable%2BLamp.webp Blog - I laughed out loud; I bet you'll smile—the ups and downs of potter's life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1761084327778-RXFQXX2EMELCEQH9B7NK/Waterfall.webp Blog - I laughed out loud; I bet you'll smile—the ups and downs of potter's life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/a62c7a29-4de5-4f55-bbf0-e9e80a86c13b/lamps.webp Blog - I laughed out loud; I bet you'll smile—the ups and downs of potter's life. - Make it stand out The original shapes with their leaner and lighter looking sisters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/d9b6d32b-62a0-4045-819a-87df0ae412bb/Cheryl%27s%2Blamps.webp Blog - I laughed out loud; I bet you'll smile—the ups and downs of potter's life. I have long known that clay engages your heart, soul, mind, and body. I've felt this grip most of my life. Earlier this year, I unintentionally illustrated the connection between my body and what I made. In February, I slipped a disc and was in much pain. I was always looking for a chair to collapse into; spending so much time sitting made me feel like a lump, and boy, was I grumpy. Around this time, I received a custom order for a matching pair of lamps. I made and glazed them, and upon opening the kiln, although they fired beautifully I knew the color was wrong for the client and that I'd be doing them over. “Marina is a dedicated artist with a strong desire for perfection, which sets her apart. If Marina's "imperfect" pieces are this stunning, imagine how breathtaking her other works are.” —Cheryl G. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/c23122ab-81dc-4d0d-bf6a-2603c93dce44/Mary%27s%2BLamps.webp Blog - I laughed out loud; I bet you'll smile—the ups and downs of potter's life. - Make it stand out With the second set completed, I had the four lamp bases on the table. Seeing them together, I laughed out loud. The first set looked clunky and bottom-heavy, precisely like I felt when making them. The second set reflected the lightness that came with getting better. The curve of the pot's belly starts higher like your body feels when stretching to reach the sky. Seeing the two pairs on the table made the connection evident. You can see it too. Comparing the first try to the second, it's clear how the pain from the slipped disc affected my work, and I'm happy I did them over. The second pair look great in their new home. “The lamps look really beautiful here and are perfect.” —Mary S. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/cb720fe7-6fbb-4e7c-8017-9308caebf72c/Serene.webp Blog - I laughed out loud; I bet you'll smile—the ups and downs of potter's life. - Make it stand out The overall feeling of this home is serene and luxurious. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/lamp-shades-are-to-vases-like-hats-are-to-kentucky-derby monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/dad786dd-dff7-49b7-af7f-7b825cd1f2ac/Bee%27sDelightTL.webp Blog - Lamp Shades Are to Vases Like Hats Are to Kentucky Derby These days I'm all in on lamps. The parts and my first wholesale lampshade order have arrived. Since returning from TileFest, I've been coil-throwing new lamps. Coil-throwing involves building the height using clay coils, joining them, and throwing them to advance the shape and size. I’ll do a separate post on the process. There are other tall pot-making methods, but I like this one best. While my process takes longer, it offers more control over the shape. For lamp making, that's important because you want the opening small enough that you won't have trouble attaching the lamp parts to the beautiful pottery base. Glazing the pieces has been an intense process. The lamps with watery aqua or pale gold backgrounds have been painted white, with a ceramic paint called underglaze, and then glazed. It often takes me three days to finish a piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1f21104f-34f9-4022-8c65-179bccc7b628/LampTrio_new.webp Blog - Lamp Shades Are to Vases Like Hats Are to Kentucky Derby - Make it stand out Morning Glory, Golden Light, and Pink Poppy Table Lamps.

Early on, when I was still at Pratt practicing throwing, I spent a semester learning to make goblets. First, throw the cup section, then the stem, and wait for the two to set up, usually overnight. The next day the cup part gets trimmed, and the stem is attached. That's the tricky part. The two will separate or tilt in the firing if not done well. The kiln gods had gifted me about twenty nicely done goblets with a lovely purply burgandy melty glaze—the look you can only find in ceramics. That Christmas, I proudly gave my father a set of eight goblets that amazed and delighted him and my siblings. Technically everybody got one. Six kids/two parents. At dinner, we set the table with them, and all enjoyed drinking from them throughout the holiday time we spent together; when friends dropped by, my brothers and sisters would offer refreshments served in the goblets. It's always such a great feeling when you give the right gift. If you think a pottery class with Dad would be a great outing, I've got two spots open this weekend. You can keep the celebration going for years with plates you've made together on Father's Day. Classes are for two, three, or four people. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/best-mothers-day-gift-ever-says-bernadette monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/62d23daa-f54d-4417-82dd-cd83212f26ff/Ta-da%2BMoments.webp Blog - "Best Mother's Day gift ever!" says Bernadette. - Make it stand out There is no right way to have a ta-da moment.

A woman comes into the booth and sees two large vases. She immediately says she wants one for herself and sees the other as a wedding gift for her sister, who's getting married for the third time. She took a picture, texted it, and called her to see if she wanted it. Since she had walked to the event, I had my husband drive her home because the pot was about 19" tall and weighty. As they get into the car, she connects with her sister. TileFest's sister says, "Did you see the picture? Would you like it as your wedding gift?" My husband hears the sister's reply, "Hell no. I've got to combine three houses of stuff into one. I don't need anything." He shares this with me when he returns, and we laugh. She texted this picture of my pot in its new home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/284628f3-0372-4c90-901a-93c48f574028/New%2BMoravian%2BTiles.webp Blog - What's the best possible experience for an artist at a craft show? - Make it stand out New 4” tiles for my personal collection from the TileWorks of Bucks County, aka the Moravian Tile Works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/854b223f-5ccc-479b-8c60-7cfcdebc5696/poppy%2Band%2Bbee%2Bvase.webp Blog - What's the best possible experience for an artist at a craft show? - Make it stand out Clearly she loves red as much as I do. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/tilefest-23-amp-the-moravian-tileworks-and-pottery monthly 0.5 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/08286331-e97c-4bcf-9ff8-e1583734f341/Kevin-Crawford-VBC-Mercer-Museum-51-cropped.webp Blog - TileFest '23 & the Moravian Tileworks and Pottery - Make it stand out The Mercer Museum, six story poured concrete castle completed in 1916. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/e27d5524-44d3-409e-a5ef-8bed987c0334/Springing%2BForward.webp Blog - TileFest '23 & the Moravian Tileworks and Pottery - Make it stand out One of the many pieces I’ll be displaying at the craft show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/bb281b67-c4f5-4fe3-8009-3f3ed1dc6f56/image-asset-2.webp Blog - TileFest '23 & the Moravian Tileworks and Pottery Along with being home to Henry Mercer's Pottery and Tileworks, Doylestown and Bucks County are also home to the Mercer Museum, a six-story reinforced concrete castle designed by Henry Mercer (1856-1930) completed in 1916; it houses over 50,000 pre-Industrial tools and features national traveling exhibits.

The idea was that I'd be more supportive of others. But then life happened when I slipped that disc, and primarily, I've been supporting myself. However, I have made progress on all fronts. I've reduced my clothing by 50% and donated them to Cause for Paws. I've donated furniture, excess kitchenware, and artwork to the Green Chair Project, which supports refugees. I've been doing my PT exercises regularly, and the payoff was spending three glorious hours gardening on Sunday morning. My favorite way to pray. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/fcf1b6ad-ec5a-44a2-930a-2ac379bff895/blushing%2Bpink%2Bvincas.webp Blog - Life Happens to You While You're Busy Making Other Plans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/6c1a63ae-99ba-43a1-8674-0ed7cba8d143/multicolored%2Bzinnias.webp Blog - Life Happens to You While You're Busy Making Other Plans I filled the bathtub on my porch with blush-colored vincas and scattered a flat of zinnias throughout the garden and into the pots on the patio.

The whole month of February seemed to get lost in doctor, physical therapy, and chiropractor appointments. I've never been a big fan of getting high, but I've discovered CBD oil, and at one point, when the pain was too much to bear, I took a hefty dose. Laying on the floor, the only comfortable position, my mind could leave my painful body and float around the house. That was amazing. By the time my back healed, I had been inactive enough for my knees to seize up from arthritis. These last two months have been such a barrel of fun and an authentic look into the joys of getting older. I'm sure my experience isn't unique to me, and many of you already know pain is physically and mentally exhausting. The icing on the cake this week was when my husband (I know I'm throwing him under the bus) asked, "When are we going to Asheville? Don't you need to deliver that lamp order?" Regardless, the kiln gods have blessed me with a few beautiful pieces, and here they are. These particular ones are on their way to the gallery in Asheville, but new editions are coming in the next several weeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/d46ffbbb-4b00-4066-bd7e-2bdb7ed59ed8/Bisqued%2Blamp%2Bbases.webp Blog - The reason behind why I have no new work to show you. - Make it stand out Bisque lamp bases waiting for decoration and glazing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/dc57c415-27ae-4ed1-af67-a5690d79e26b/PlumLovinessVase.webp Blog - The reason behind why I have no new work to show you. - Make it stand out This vase (about 17” tall) is an ode to Viva Magenta, 2023 color of the year, hot pink and deep plum.

This year's Women's Day theme is Embrace Equity, something I've been trying to do in my small world between home and studio. My lightbulb moment happened while standing in an electronics store waiting for service—the images on the walls depicted diverse groups of people working, talking, and having fun together. I've seen similar pictures at the bank, in clothing stores, and all around me. But at that moment, I thought, "Imagine what the world would look and feel like today if we saw these photographs through the seventies and eighties when I was growing up?" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/9b51d889-820e-432b-96db-9f2154a4806d/Banner.webp Blog - #EmbraceEquity Art Tile Fundraiser - Make it stand out I hope you’ll order an Embrace Equity tile for your home or place of business and support the good work the WAGGGS organization does. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/a-memory-for-valentines-day monthly 0.5 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/85470296-b117-4fe4-a590-34ed36e71358/Pink%2BDaisy%2Bw_Love.webp Blog - A Memory for Valentine's Day - Make it stand out The image that kicked off this memory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/57900f80-abbc-4816-bebe-5db4aeabcc2c/Mom%2CMatt%2CTerri%2CMarina.webp Blog - A Memory for Valentine's Day Later, as an anniversary gift, my father took the beads and used our names to create a lovely bracelet for my mom. It was one of those gifts that could and did blow her away. She cherished this gift, I know because when the day clothes came off and the evening wear went on, so did that bracelet. My parents weren't wealthy, but the one thing my mom had that some of her peers didn't was a husband who adored her and still saw her as his one and only. They always hugged, and it was easy to catch them kissing. I remember their bedroom door locked, and I remember when I realized why. It's been a long while, and whenever I need some mom time, I pull it out, and it takes me back to sitting on her bed, watching her get dressed, and being the one to clasp the bracelet on. Little did my dad know he was also gifting his girls, who share custody of the bracelet and endless memories of helping her prepare and select jewelry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/f17b40fd-596e-47dd-adcb-1bd095c35d88/Mom%27s%2BBracelet.webp Blog - A Memory for Valentine's Day - Make it stand out The bracelet my dad had made as a wedding anniversary gift. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/a-national-day-that-celebrates-art-tile-what-will-they-think-of-next monthly 0.5 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/63c7921a-a1f1-44b2-bd15-45213dc3a0f0/HayesFireplace.webp Blog - A National Day that celebrates art tile.

To the left is the latter, and below, my neighbors, Chris and Tom, inlaid some of my tiles into their concrete fireplace surround. Tom did the concrete cast. They were so clever when designing the mantle that I did a blog post on their project in January 2021. Using cardboard, they visualized the size and scope of the surround, drawing in where they wanted the tile inlays to be. Also pictured is a collaboration I did with woodworker O'Neal Jones.

What do you do in Jacksonville when the weather is so cold you must buy a hat? You brewery hop. Jacksonville is lovingly called Jax by the locals. The Jax Ale Trail refers to 20+ craft breweries with award-winning beers. I identify as a wine drinker but enjoyed all the beers I drank in Florida. We only went to some of the breweries. Still, the few we hit had great flavors (Dragon fruit, passion fruit, blueberries, tangerine, cranberries, coconut) that would appeal to a wide variety of tastes, including wine drinkers. Here are a few: Wicked Barley Brewing Company - Blood Drive, a blood orange IPA, paired with an order of fries topped with fresh garlic, ginger, and green onions, it's a meal. You'll need breath mints afterward. Veterans United Craft Brewery - Bourbon Barrel Aged Snipe blends the flavors of dark Belgian chocolate, roasted coffee, and bourbon into a beautiful concoction. Homey and dog-friendly, the tap room emanates family, fellowship, pride, and service themes. Ancient City Brewing - Castillo Coconut Porter is a smooth and velvety blend of dark chocolate and black malts. You can make it into a fabulous boozy cocktail called the Dirty Snowman. This is an after “all is done” drink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/7ec0eb77-fda6-4b1b-99a2-1020e1d551ea/AncientCityBlacksplash.webp Blog - Fine Craft & Craft Breweries: How the two connect the physical expression of the visionary mind. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/ode-to-potteryclassesnearme monthly 0.5 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/35d54e55-a649-4db3-aad2-b68dce30b39c/Planning%2Bthe%2BSlab.webp Blog - Ode to #potteryclassesnearme - Make it stand out As you can see you’ll be able to make enough plates to keep and gift to friends and family, all microwave and dishwasher safe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/e2b0a722-6953-4305-b0ef-91ad8e0b6eb2/IMG_3239.webp Blog - Ode to #potteryclassesnearme Geared toward the clay-curious, the class is suitable for first-timers and children over 10.

You and a loved one or friend come to the studio, and I'll teach you a fun and easy way to make lovely functional plates. The two of you chat while creating memories and a unique line of dinnerware and platters for sharing food and meals that will only lead to more fun. Each person gets a slab of clay, about 3' x 2', to decorate by pressing a range of stamps, stencils, or block prints, into the clay. Using forms, you'll squish your plates into existence by pressing the shape into a thick piece of foam, forcing the clay to hug the form. You make the pottery; I'll glaze and fire it. Your pottery will be ready for pickup the following week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/a250c01b-57b2-497b-b3e9-713bfa15e767/Students.webp Blog - Ode to #potteryclassesnearme - Make it stand out Class are for two (email me to add a third or fourth person).

From the Met Gala to Barbiecore, everyone was wearing hot pink in 2022. I'm not surprised that Pantone's 2023 color of the year is Viva Magenta. While hot pink is fun, frivolous, and all things Barbie, magenta is pink all grown up. "Magenta is the color of universal harmony and emotional balance. It contains the passion, power, and energy of red, restrained by the introspection and quiet energy of violet. It promotes compassion, kindness, and cooperation. The color magenta represents cheerfulness, happiness, contentment, and appreciation. Most people feel more optimistic in its company." according to Nix Color Sensor, a professional color matching tool. "PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta descends from the red family, inspired by the red of cochineal, one of the most precious dyes belonging to the natural dye family as well as one of the strongest and brightest the world has known." says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute. She also states, "the color galvanizes our spirit, helping us build our inner strength.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/f52fef49-5efb-46f4-824d-236a1f799dac/Jenna%2BOrtega%2B2.webp Blog - What's brave, promotes joy and optimism, and creates exuberant celebration? Last year I was so excited that the Pantone color of the year was a color as opposed to a shade of gray. It actually put a skip in my walk. 2022’s color very peri, although lovely, didn't impact the world. What did was the color pink. It started with the 2022 Valentino collection encompassing all shades of hot pink (developed by Pantone). Valentino is an internationally famous Italian fashion designer with a style that's jet-set chic. He's also known for his RED (Romantic Eccentric Dress) collection. Red has been his signature color since 1959. That's 64 years. But this year, Valentino Pink PP Collection by Pierpaolo Piccioli coincided with the buzz surrounding Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie, starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. That brought on the rise of Barbiecore, anything that references the fabulous world of Barbie and all things pink. Barbiecore spiked on Google trends around June last year and had 8.1 million views on TikTok. I wish I could trend like that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/6fe19b57-aa73-4519-94ad-8f48f900f74d/80.webp Blog - What's brave, promotes joy and optimism, and creates exuberant celebration? - Make it stand out Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/004abad0-0de5-4441-a008-bf35ceb21839/Magenta%2BGlazes.webp Blog - What's brave, promotes joy and optimism, and creates exuberant celebration? - Make it stand out In ceramics, we call these colors chrome tin pinks.

If this color rocks your socks, I'm writing to tell you that I've got you covered with several glazes. Nothing will make a room or you feel more like a precious jewel than the royal color of magenta. This color sings well with gold, blues, odd shades of greens, turquoise, pinks, and even reds. I had all these versions of magenta on my glaze chart before Pantone's announcement, but I have to admit, it's been a while. I could only find three pieces in the studio that used any of them, all made before 2022. Writing this article has made me think of the color with new meaning, and I'm looking forward to using it in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/7666e337-811c-42e7-be55-6772bc182ef5/Glenn%2BClose%2Bat%2BMet%2BGala.webp Blog - What's brave, promotes joy and optimism, and creates exuberant celebration? - Make it stand out Glenn Close in her fuchsia gown at the Met Gala and then in a magenta power suit for a business meeting .

And the biggest day-to-day challenge for me is at the supermarket. The person in front of me always turns around and says, "You're in a hurry. Please go ahead of me."

It makes my heart glow; I'm so incredibly thankful for your support. Because it's a new year, it's also time to pick a new theme, word, or intention. Inspired by you, mine will be support as in donating time to one of my favorite charities, like SPAC, Habitat for Humanities, or Urban Ministries. Another way is to help new potters get their studios up and running, so I'm working on a few PDFs meant to save them time while looking for glazes that will work on dark clays, which is my specialty. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/new-work-for-the-boylan-heights-artwalk-and-my-fabulous-commission monthly 0.5 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/bf51086e-2d3b-4122-b482-ec800f45a5a1/IMG_2912.webp Blog - New Work for the Boylan Heights ArtWalk and my Fabulous Commission - Make it stand out Table Lamp in Blue and White https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/0f1e7039-ddcd-40a0-bd7f-5a435ff00398/ArtWalk_22%2BImage.webp Blog - New Work for the Boylan Heights ArtWalk and my Fabulous Commission - Make it stand out Boylan Heights ArtWalk Poster https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/72367c57-c0ec-4e8c-90cf-8851bedb9e83/IMG_2914.webp Blog - New Work for the Boylan Heights ArtWalk and my Fabulous Commission - Make it stand out Utensil Jars with Zinnias https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/3eda4b5d-6107-40d4-b1f6-0a84c5f3342e/IMG_2911.webp Blog - New Work for the Boylan Heights ArtWalk and my Fabulous Commission - Make it stand out Morning Glory and Bee Plate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/1a6d4050-efba-47b8-a95a-95250a51c636/IMG_2913.webp Blog - New Work for the Boylan Heights ArtWalk and my Fabulous Commission - Make it stand out Flowered Table Lamps https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/61a003f4-3bab-4c53-b928-b67ca9bcfdfb/IMG_2909.webp Blog - New Work for the Boylan Heights ArtWalk and my Fabulous Commission - Make it stand out Cardinal and Yellow Blossoms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/645cc645-8884-47ff-afd6-9a452dc202f6/Bosetti_112822-9862-print.webp Blog - New Work for the Boylan Heights ArtWalk and my Fabulous Commission - Make it stand out Finished Tower Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/c15af3e5-6add-49cf-8977-b7c32d371748/IMG_2908.webp Blog - New Work for the Boylan Heights ArtWalk and my Fabulous Commission - Make it stand out Bee Plate with Cone Flowers https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/ive-done-nothing-but-work-this-week-so-im-going-to-let-the-pictures-do-the-talking-in-this-blog-post monthly 0.5 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/427296cf-cf35-40d3-9cfc-31bf17f9b503/Tower%2BMural_3.webp Blog - The Emotional and Genuine Ups and Downs and Disasters of Ceramics - Make it stand out The four sides of sections 2 thru 4 fired beautifully and almost as important, straight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/5f099e41-066d-4d4a-8d59-20e129491ee9/IMG_2856.webp Blog - The Emotional and Genuine Ups and Downs and Disasters of Ceramics Every profession has its ups and downs, but in ceramics, it's literal. The kiln's temperature rises to melt the glazes, hovers to allow the gases to escape, and slowly drops, allowing the chemicals to create vibrant colors. When throwing and centering, you turn the clay inside out by pushing it up to reveal the inner clay as you push it down. When coil building, you add height slowly, waiting for the clay to stiffen and strengthen before proceeding. Moving too fast will only bring the clay to a collapsing mess. I'm all too familiar with how my profession rises and falls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/98596bb1-3e17-4f65-8355-42b27fb39649/IMG_2862.webp Blog - The Emotional and Genuine Ups and Downs and Disasters of Ceramics - Make it stand out Sections 5, 6, and 7 waiting their turn in the kiln.

Thinking a week would be enough time to make a few birds, I found it took two. One to explore what shapes to use and how to handle pieces that don't have a flat space. Another to perfect the technique. The arrival of hurricane Ian was also a problem. The air was so humid it took days for the pieces to dry enough to handle. I found success when I threw some cone shapes I could set into bisqued vases while I coiled the heads onto the bodies. And here they are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/6c9c9f4b-4575-472b-a0c3-3020944eaaeb/birds.gif Blog - Fall Open Studio and Demonstration Day Sunday, October 23rd, from 12 pm to 4 pm - Make it stand out The one on the left is the only survivor of the first throwing session of overly round shapes; the other two are from the second session of slimmer cone shapes. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/a-great-new-project-has-me-thrilled-to-be-back-in-the-studio monthly 0.5 2025-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/d4846798-d567-4319-9014-9045a334b818/Leveling%2BUp.webp Blog - A Great New Project has me Thrilled to be Back in the Studio The post is 4.5" square and 5'9" tall.

I'm sculpting a bird for the finial and a coiled snake for the base, and it will be pretty busy with imagery and color when it's finished. Clay is magical; you can do anything with it. Build a hobbit-like house, make a water jar, create a one-of-a-kind piece of art, or make multiple identical units to assemble into a totem pole of colorful flora and fauna, like the project I'm working on now. Christmas will soon be upon us, and now is the time to start thinking of something unique for your special someone. What would you like to create? I'd love to turn your idea into a ceramic sculpture or a set of mugs that celebrates what you treasure. I'm accepting commissions for the holidays now and want plenty of time to give it the attention it deserves.

I haven't been working a lot, but I've built a challenging project I started Thursday that I'd like to share with you. The commission is a kind of totem pole to cover a post with a decorative (and weatherproof) ceramic sleeve that will celebrate three generations of family living together.

Clay's journey from artist to builder. It's important to us too. We interact with kaolin daily. It is used in toothpaste, cosmetics, incandescent light bulbs, organic farming, whitewash, to soothe a stomach as in Kaopectate, to induce blood clotting, and as beauty wraps and masks for the skin. Because of its hardness and high refractory qualities, the space industry also makes parts using porcelain. Kaolin is essential to our economy, with the United States being it's top exporter. Belgium, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Ukraine, China, and six other countries mine it too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/b423f13d-7136-4ce7-8487-f47c02540443/Delftware%2BVase.webp Blog - Want to make a mud house? Clay's journey from artist to builder. - Make it stand out In last week's post, I said that "Delftware potters referred to the work as porcelain: however, it was a cheap version of the Chinese pottery of the time." That got me thinking about why they were copying instead of using the real thing. Which led me to the history of kaolin, or China clay. The name kaolin is derived from Gaoling –Chinese: Gāolǐng; meaning 'High Ridge'. The name entered English in 1727 from the French version of the word: kaolin, following a Frenchmen's report on making Chinese porcelain. This prompted others to look for it. When delftware was made (the 1600s), China was the only country to discover kaolin and realize its benefits. Let me remind you here that clay is mined from the ground; what a potter uses is called a clay body. Porcelain's body is composed of the raw materials of kaolin, feldspar, quartz, and ball clay (another light color clay known for its plasticity). Together they create three unique technical characteristics: hardness, whiteness, and translucency. In other words, it's non-porous, durable, and beautiful, making it perfect for dinnerware and tile. That's how kaolin is important to ceramics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/c0346c49-d0b3-4c79-9531-ab32e4545446/Kaolin%2BMine%2Bin%2BGA.webp Blog - Want to make a mud house?

We woke up ecstatic; the plan was to walk to the Eiffel Tower in our spiffy duds and have a relaxing lunch at Le Jules Verne. The weather was sunny and clear, perfect for enjoying the restaurant's panoramic views. I wasn't aware that eating at a Michelin star restaurant was on my bucket list, but it is now. The visit was my friend Leslie's idea, and I was happy to go along. For those who haven't been, a reservation takes you to the front of Eiffel's long lines and into the restaurant. While we were navigating to the entrance, we got separated; a bit of frantic texting got me to where I needed to be and into the tower leg we went. The tower legs are awkward interior spaces not meant to be receiving rooms. But the designer did a fantastic job; the area welcomes you in with busts and quotes from the author Jules Verne and the engineer Gustave Eiffel. The two lead you to a glass elevator that lifts you to the second level, 403.5 feet above the ground. A beautiful or nervous experience, depending on how you feel about heights. The very tall operator will take your picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/679ddce5-519e-42bc-81c1-ea997ac0d338/Welcome.webp Blog - One easy way to get over your jet lag. - Make it stand out A fun fact about molecular gastronomy is that the food rarely resembles what it started out as.

The thin rhubarb tart was my least favorite; a bit too sweet. The crispy meringue and the elderflower zéphyr are totally different stories. Crispy meringue refers to the edible sugar cup containing a strawberry puree and airy topping. It was exquisite. The mind-blowing taste was the elderflower zéphyr. It came with directions not to nibble but to eat whole. I was excited and ate mine first. Enclosed in the warmth of your mouth, the super thin sheet of jelly melts, and you experience an explosion of strawberry goodness. The fresh, fruity, green, and slightly floral elderflower flavor profile comes up at the end. Leslie, watching, said, "I wished I had a photograph of your face." I would have liked to have seen my face at that moment too. It was incredible and will be the lasting memory of my first visit to Le Jules Verne and Paris. The experience isn't only about beautiful mouthwatering food; service plays an important role.

A small bowl of asparagus soup (also frothy) was served between the first and second course that we thought lovely. We were animated about everything and paid attention to our surroundings. With every item brought to the table, the wait staff would explain what it was and then quietly depart to a space where they could see and respond when needed. For lunch, Leslie had cod, cooked with kalamata olive powder and fried capers, in a clear bouillabaisse consommé. The presentation was as beautiful as it was delicious. I had a rib eye steak with pepper sauce and three fries, not nearly as stunning as Leslie's but perfectly cooked and scrumptious. Served medium rare, cooked through but still primarily red in the center. A generous portion that I couldn't finish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/ca7b3b55-1bc0-4921-85ea-fd549397b807/IMG_1894.webp Blog - One easy way to get over your jet lag.

I separated the clothing into things for goodwill and things to consign. Walmart will take the old glasses. What to do with the boot has been challenging; I'm contacting local churches. I've found places to consign unwanted artwork and clothing. All the sorting, photographing, and driving around is time consuming. Redo a course.

I'll be finishing another of the birdhouse pedestals to put into the Flight of Fancy category of the show. Adults have two classifications; "serious," birdhouses that work for the birds, are built to their specifications, and are easy to clean at the end of the season. In the "flights of fancy" category, serious stuff is at the bottom of the list, putting aesthetics, craftsmanship, and creativity at the top. Remember my entry is in the "flights of fancy" section. The Arboretum is a city treasure, and if you haven't been there, you're in for a treat. It's really quite beautiful. The plant sale is spectacular!

I'm Marina, a tile maker and lifelong clay enthusiast who, after 40 years, is still thrilled to be working in clay. I got hooked on clay in kindergarten, continued through school, and ended up with a BFA in Sculpture from Pratt. I started as a potter and grew into a ceramic artist. I dropped the three-dimensional work altogether and focused solely on tiles for a while. But, clay yearns to be 3-D, so throwing, coiling, and slab work returned in the form of lamps, sculptural vases, and birdhouses. Now over sixty, I do custom tile for installations using organic lines and the cuerda seca glaze technique. The rest of the time, I'm playing in the mud or with my poodle, Gem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/98a7b8c6-7a17-4e1c-83bc-1070538985b9/PowerRoom.webp Blog - Introducing March Meet the Maker Challenge or how to get your flow back. - Make it stand out My all time favorite commission, a colorful and gem like room created as a surprise for dinner guests. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/customers-ask-how-long-did-it-take-to-make-that monthly 0.5 2025-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/ef918d9e-3752-4bea-9fa8-1c2c5c7688ac/IMG_1413.webp Blog - Customers ask, "How long did it take to make that?" - Make it stand out Right now the sculptures are located at one end of the terrace and the mural at the other.

Trimming creates quite a bit of clay for recycling. The clay is allowed to dry then added to a bucket of water which is instantly absorbed, breaking it down into particles. The slurry, potter talk for mud, is placed on thick plaster slabs where the excess water is absorbed. Now back to being clay, it'll be wedged or de-aired and used again. While I'm now comfortable making the platters, I'm still trying to get a feel for trimming. I've trimmed the bottoms out of a few platters, and some I cut off at an awkward angle, making them difficult to trim.

Whether as a focal point or used to accentuate a delicious meal, hand-made platters showcase the depth of the potter's knowledge and their attention to detail. That's a fancy way of saying that large platters are thorny buggers to make. Clay doesn't like to be large and flat; large and curved like a bowl is easy but creating large flat pieces requires skill, patience, and a few tricks of the trade. The actual making of the platter is straightforward, put a lump of clay onto the potter's wheel, center it, then throw it into a shallow bowl, flatten the bottom and throw the rim. Here is where attention to detail and patience begins: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/8b2eb3b6-a15d-4f76-a83c-179f4eaba20e/Platter%2Bthrown%2Bon%2Ba%2Bpotter%27s%2Bwheel.webp Blog - A fancy way of saying that large platters are thorny buggers to make. - Make it stand out Here’s one that’s successful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/7574f98b-5a46-41fa-bd8d-66471b279938/IMG_1338.webp Blog - A fancy way of saying that large platters are thorny buggers to make. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/functional-and-fun-sculptures-that-literally-light-up-your-life monthly 0.5 2025-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/fea0fff2-e353-40bd-9aba-0ae866e3a0d2/IMG_1323.webp Blog - Functional and Fun Sculptures That Literally Light up Your Life Luminance is one of the best reasons to use a table lamp.

I'd picked up a whole chicken and some baking apples in preparation for the day. I spent the morning reading, and early in the afternoon, I peeled the apples and chopped walnuts for a Marina-friendly version of apple crisp. There's nothing like the smell of cinnamon and apples baking to make a house feel like a home, and the luxury of time to roast a chicken with vegetables is a fantastic way to set yourself up for some easy meals during the week. While my husband, JB, cleaned up after dinner, I deboned the carcass, cut up a few more veggies, and got some broth going. Soup is my favorite studio lunch–it's healthy, delicious, low in calories, and warms me up. That old building is pretty drafty. We finished the evening by watching the last two episodes of The Morning Show (Apple TV) and this morning woke up to the smell of chicken soup gently simmering on the stove. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/its-time-to-kick-white-and-gray-to-the-curb monthly 0.5 2025-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/124f125c-b974-4abb-88ba-19d2bc1a284d/Furniture%2BLighting%2B%26%2BDecor%2BMagazine.webp Blog - It's Time to Kick White and Gray to the Curb - Make it stand out When the January 2022 issue of Furniture Lighting & Decor magazine arrived at the studio, I gasped and did a happy dance. The cover thrilled me with friendly, inviting colors. Gone are the whites and grays that I view as unfriendly to children and pets. We're in a new time when making our homes cozy and alive with color, patterns, and textures is back in style. It prompted me to check out Pantone's color of the year. I wasn't disappointed. This year's color, "very peri," is purple, a unique shade that combines cool blue with warm violet-red undertones. Using purple has always been courageous; it encourages personal inventiveness and creativity. Other shades of Veri Peri will make whites more hospitable and grays earthier.

But, I have to tell you I love these little Christmases. The day feels more significant. You can savor your favorite music or play the same song repeatedly. Stare into the fire while wearing all your new clothes regardless of matching. Eat moderate amounts of food then, take an evening walk to see the neighborhood lights. Give the dog an extra trip to the dog park. Or let the dog be part of the decorations. However, you spend your holiday; I wish you and yours the most beautiful holiday and an abundance of blessings in 2022. Gem is now 7 years old; she's outgrown posing for the camera.

Cardinals and Christmas trees. The cardinal, a favorite here in North Carolina and everywhere else. The beautiful color of our state bird makes it a wonderful adornment for Christmas or every day.

I used the same yellow and red and added green to it. In ceramics, we have glazes that we call chrome tin pinks. It's an odd combination of chemicals because who would think that chrome green would ever make pink? Glazes are not pigments, and with the magic of heat and cooling, chrome and tin, when mixed with other ingredients, will give you a range of hues from pink to magenta and plum. This is the stuff I love about clay. It's where the magic is. It keeps each kiln load feeling like Christmas morning and the feeling of the season in my heart year-round. Back to the tree ornament. The yellow is a commercial glaze, but I'm pretty sure it has tin in it. Whenever I put a green glaze next to it, it reacts. You can see the yellow near the green, blushing pink in this butterfly tile. In the tree ornament, the glaze has gone mottled, giving it an antique look. It's my favorite one of the year. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/favorite-pieces-of-art-guarantee-a-better-quality-of-life monthly 0.5 2025-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/ca69a790-506c-4507-904e-8f74cde5e83a/AngryFace.webp Blog - Favorite Pieces of Art Guarantee a Better Quality of Life Until, I gave it to my new boyfriend JB, now husband, in an absurd mood of new love and generosity.

On the last day, I left it at a diner after breakfast. When I realized what I'd done, I called the restaurant and asked about it. It seems a waitress fell in love with it as well and took it home. I got her number and called to ask for it back. When it didn't arrive in the mail, I called her back, gave her a guilt trip, and then said, "Please don't just throw it in a box and mail it. Pack it, so it doesn't break." I could sense how conflicted she was and didn't want her to take the position of "if I can't have it, nobody can." A few days later, it arrived, and I experienced an enormous sense of relief.

There's also Gingham and Posh for gift baskets of local treats. Search through the artist list at PiedmontCraftsmen.com for high-end fine crafts. Artful Home has fabulous clothing for the fashionista in your life. Very few people will say no to a massage. Google 'massage services near me." Give a wine subscription to your connoisseur.

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. 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/0f945135-a154-4d77-8585-949dfc7cbe7b/Bisque%2BChristmas%2BOrnaments.webp Blog - Here's a Technique You Can Use to get into the Creative Flow It's wonderous fulfilling needs through intention.

The weather is changing, but hold on to your sunglasses; it's bright out there. When I shared how enchanting I found the Pisgah National Forest back in July, I meant it. We're planning our second trip there to coincide with the mountain's fall foliage show, apple season, and the finishing of the mural for the Rex Cancer Center. We're packing our boots and bikes and planning to explore more than the breweries and drive through the forest–Gem is coming too. I'm looking forward to breathing deeply, being a different kind of tired, and letting my feet and legs take on the bulk of the work while my shoulders and neck get a break from looking down. I plan to look up and enjoy the negative space in the tree canopies: letting my mind run in and out of spaces less intricate than my drawings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/c44413c2-3c27-4f40-9f92-0a2c3c7ff445/Chicken%2C%2BFennel%2C%2Band%2BApples.webp Blog - The Aroma of Baking Apples is a Satisfying Approach to Celebrate Fall - Make it stand out According to my husband, it was mighty tasty! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/69432325-6861-47d5-b796-7ef837c56ec8/Apple%2BBread.webp Blog - The Aroma of Baking Apples is a Satisfying Approach to Celebrate Fall - Make it stand out I made my bread using monk fruit sugar and gluten free flour.

Is it Food or a Compassionate Connection? I discovered the custom of fika [feeka] while in Sweden. A noun, let's have some fika, and a verb, let's go fika—is an invitation to have coffee and cake. The intent isn't to charge up on sugar and caffeine; the purpose is to slow down and connect with friends, colleagues, or someone new. It's intimate, usually three or four people. The fika spirit is to treat yourself to something cozy, a hot beverage with something sweet or savory. It's to give your mind the time it deserves to reconnect with your humanity and your creativity, time to savor time. A ritual so popular, it happens twice a day. I haven't been in a coffee shop with a friend in over a year; it's sad. I don't think my favorite place will make it through this time around, and I think I lost the habit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/22f6a53a-78f3-48b6-9473-47caff5a5ac6/Autumnal%2BGroup.webp Blog - What is Fika?

Is it Food or a Compassionate Connection? Zoom meetings have replaced the coffee shop. Three mornings a week, I meet artist's friends from as close as New Jersey to as far away as France. We talk over coffee, hold each other accountable for our goals, and edit each other's blogs. I'm so comfortable seeing myself on a video screen, I'm thinking of offering online classes. Once a week, I get together with two friends. We cook and connect over dinner; it's now a ritual we look forward to, providing us with the energy we used to find meeting at a coffee shop. My husband and I meet with another couple on the weekend to play cards, share cocktails, and have dinner. As Friday rolls around, I anticipate being with family. We've been friends for years. This is how I get my fika fix. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/when-feeling-beleaguered-you-can-take-a-step-back-and-explore monthly 0.5 2025-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/539d4041-e7cd-448d-a008-2457ab798f1e/Glaze%2BTests.webp Blog - When Feeling Beleaguered, You Can Take a Step Back and Explore - Make it stand out Using a slip trailer I applied the glaze the way you would decorating cookies with royal icing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/6d12ddab-ca57-496e-8a49-233f45e4ad2c/Mural%2BSketch.webp Blog - When Feeling Beleaguered, You Can Take a Step Back and Explore - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/be99f4f8-4449-43ef-a72f-0c04f5cfe305/Color%2BSketches%2B2.webp Blog - When Feeling Beleaguered, You Can Take a Step Back and Explore - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/8f1257e6-f379-4672-a4f0-637674b95c16/BirdPlates.webp Blog - When Feeling Beleaguered, You Can Take a Step Back and Explore - Make it stand out Achieving an even application with a paint brush is harder, but I don’t find the variation unappealing. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/4-mediums-to-help-you-add-humor-spirit-or-elegance-to-your-bathroom monthly 0.5 2025-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/041017b0-9af6-4f89-b37c-339f2c13340a/Scrapbook-Frame-Back.webp Blog - 4 Mediums to Help You Add Humor, Spirit, or Elegance to Your Bathroom Whatever your image, it will need to be matted and frame. Matted because the matte will keep the print off the glass/plexiglass and a frame because you'll need to make it moisture-proof. Most frames have a removable back section. You'll want to replace it with a foam core board insert and then use frame sealing tape to close the seam between the foam core and the frame.

The mural for the cancer center is nicely underway. I've drawn 14 of the 24 feet and have started glazing it. It's hard to see the drawing on the bisque tile. By glazing, I can see the sections I'm sure of while still adding other elements. I've started making and testing some new glaze colors. The results are rewarding, and my initial nervousness has turned to fun. I don't know why things come in threes; it may be that threes are easy to remember. That's why the emergency number is 911. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/c5928dad-349e-47cc-8a62-4851109c597c/JG%2BMural%2Bredo.webp Blog - What is it About Problems and Charms That Keep Them Coming in Threes? - Make it stand out The top image is from last week showing the glaze flaws.

Ceramics can be sensitive, quirky, and unpredictable. This three-panel fireplace insert is breaking my heart. I feel I've been bickering with the glazes, which I typically think of as friends. I'm grateful the customer is focused on the design and not the time. When the project started in May, I did several color sketches, got the skin tones right, added a thin frame to the outer edge, and tested color combinations to find the best background. I used so many glazes I had to label a photograph to track what color was where. It's a great trick, one I'll repeat. I moved on to glazing the tiles for the fireplace surround. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/ive-a-big-surprising-secret-to-share-that-will-make-you-happy-for-me monthly 0.5 2025-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/fcfb7def-1430-43ca-86d4-98b31d71ec18/Dix%2BSunflower%2BField.webp Blog - I've a Big Surprising Secret to Share, That Will Make You Happy for Me. - Make it stand out Last weekend I took a trip to the sunflower field at Dix for research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/12796dce-60a1-4853-8edf-a1a7c02ebd0a/Future%2BRex%2BCancer%2BCenter.webp Blog - I've a Big Surprising Secret to Share, That Will Make You Happy for Me. - Make it stand out This is the building from Macon Pond Rd.

It's exhilarating building something as tall as myself. Here I am, standing next to it. It will be five feet when finished. This first try is a prototype. I did not spend tremendous amounts of time sculpting something graceful. Instead, I'm practicing handling the slabs, putting them together, seeing how long it takes them to dry, and experimenting with shape. Although it's a model I'm so excited about, I plan to place it in the center of my garden when it's glazed. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/i-maybe-home-for-the-summer-but-thats-no-reason-it-needs-to-be-boring monthly 0.5 2025-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/9d3d491c-f0cb-468c-b874-17411c1f2196/IMG_9978.webp Blog - I Maybe Home for the Summer but that's No Reason it Needs to be Boring - Make it stand out Jennifer making sure the last bowl is secure on the counter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/58ae218b-a4f6-44f4-905c-13dc68027974/Bird%2BBlog_houses.webp Blog - I Maybe Home for the Summer but that's No Reason it Needs to be Boring - Make it stand out A few of the birdhouses I’ve built this year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/6bf12ff3-36bd-468f-9bac-a3591607c98f/BirdBlog_stones.webp Blog - I Maybe Home for the Summer but that's No Reason it Needs to be Boring - Make it stand out Two stacking boulders I built over the weekend, I’ve got a few more to go.

I'd come home and join my neighbors, watching them in the trees. Eventually, little ones started flying around the park. Like all new life, they are curious about everything, including me. I've caught them watching me work on the computer at the dining room table, working in the garden, and sitting on the roof while I have an evening cocktail. Sometimes I hear them, I'll walk out on the deck, and one will be in the tree looking down at the door. I wonder, did he just call me? It's a peaceful place; when the light is right, I'll take the laptop out there. While writing this article, I was listening to the birds, a stray worry of a bird pooping on my computer popped into my head, and darn if it didn't happen shortly afterward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/058c908d-656e-4247-b7fa-1082fa020825/B%2BOwl%2BTriple.webp Blog - How A Soft Start to the Day Can Inspire Beauty and Charm - Make it stand out The barred owl (Strix varia), also known as the northern barred owl, striped owl, or, more informally, hoot owl, is a North American large species of owl. Barred owls are native to eastern North American. Mature forests are their preferred habitat, but they can also acclimate to various gradients of open woodlands or the park next door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/9ef19ade-e6af-43c0-8d12-c7cfdeec775a/RobinPlate.webp Blog - How A Soft Start to the Day Can Inspire Beauty and Charm - Make it stand out The American Robin is the first bird I learned to recognize.

How glazes interact with each other is another familiar but not so-traveled path for me. Fortunately, they had broad ideas about color. Saying anything in green, blue, or purple would work. I had no idea what my glazes looked like layered over each other. Glaze is marvelous. Each one is like a friend with various personality traits and quirks. Some dance like members of Alvin Ailey, while others are wallflowers. It takes experimentation and time to figure out which ones make a good team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/13a51bc3-54e5-4548-85f0-7829b7644e22/IMG_9729.webp Blog - How Pushing Your Boundaries Can Lead to New Opportunities I started with five bases. Along the way, I lost the shape of one, finished it off, and decided that it would be the test piece for glazing. One ended up a vase, and three made it to the full twenty-seven inches with silhouettes similar enough to be considered a pair. While doing the glaze testing, I felt uncomfortable, wishing that I was doing my usual thing. But once out of the kiln, I was delighted by the results, and so were the customers. I could feel their enthusiasm at being so involved with the process, which had them visiting the studio several times to see the experiments. The third lamp will be going to a local lighting store where the owner and I will be judging interest. I am definitely interested in making more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/65bb1414-4b95-48ff-8c67-8d49eb5f63b8/NC%2BPottery%2BLamp.webp Blog - How Pushing Your Boundaries Can Lead to New Opportunities - Make it stand out One of the lamps in it’s new home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/e8edec17-76ec-47f2-bd3b-c8d6c2fd20be/IMG_9588.webp Blog - How Pushing Your Boundaries Can Lead to New Opportunities - Make it stand out After the initial glaze tests, the customers chose dark blue over white for the top and purple for the bottom; I did that combination on the piece I liked the least. Upon review, none of us fancied the result, wanting more of a transition between blue and purple. For the finished lamps, I poured the white glaze over the top and purple over the bottom. Then blue overall. It worked beautifully with areas of blue-violet shining through the blue on the bottom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/b2bfa810-bae8-406f-827e-481b0b4a3bc0/Coil%2Bbuilt%2Blamp%2Bbases.webp Blog - How Pushing Your Boundaries Can Lead to New Opportunities - Make it stand out The lamp bases drying and shrinking before adding a few more inches. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/what-have-you-accomplished-in-the-first-quarter monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/e516e5c4-1cfa-4409-b968-ee97303cc365/Spring%2BFling.webp Blog - What Have You Accomplished In the First Quarter? - Make it stand out Row 1: Glaze tests for lamp bases, couples class, and one of the pieces at the NC Pottery Center’s Gem Show.

A celebration designed to help people rediscover their creativity and to promote the benefits of crafting. Learning a craft is good for you. Being creative is a fun and easy way to reduce stress while lowering your blood pressure, similar to meditation. If you want to create positive reinforcement for yourself or your child, learning a new skill is a natural way to do it. With each step learned, the satisfaction from gaining a new skill is rewarding. Most crafts require fine motor skills. Crafting teaches these to young children and keeps our motor skills sharp as we age. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/549cc58a-5653-4fd8-804b-e24522ef5ddf/Dating%2Band%2Bmaking%2Btogether.webp Blog - Why Celebrating National Craft Month is Good For You The big benefits come from crafting together. When we're failing and succeeding, learning from each other, and sharing experiences, we're frequently laughing. I love working with clay, and when I'm teaching it or doing it with other people, it's a definition of happiness. Classes are fun. When you create for a purpose, like making tiles with children for a mural at their school, you're building community. When you combine generosity with creativity, like participating in the Empty Bowls Project, you're feeding your soul. Just because it’s the last day of March, doesn’t mean you need to quit celebrating. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/boost-your-mood-by-making-your-life-more-awe-some monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/d0dcc7df-6a5c-4662-8162-1ffea0f9fc4f/Bluebird%2BHouse%2B_%2BBosetti%2BArt%2BTile.webp Blog - Boost Your Mood by Making Your Life More Awe-some. Last week, when I opened the kiln and saw my new birdhouses for the first time, I felt a bit of awe. The feeling told me I had had a growth spurt, which in turn made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. And that's pretty much all it took to get me thinking about awe, the emotion. There is nothing more inspiring than the experience of awe. Awe is a revelation on steroids; its inspiration, wonder, and mystery rolled into one spectacular flash. Here are five reasons why finding more time to experience awe is awesome. Awe: Expands Time. When you're experiencing it, it's as though time stands still, allowing the moment to open up. Anchoring us in the present and allowing us to breathe more deeply and with more awareness. When it's over, you feel refreshed and unhurried. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/how-you-can-become-more-aware-of-your-inspiration monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/f3c11272-4840-4313-9507-7fb753588a06/IMG_9189.webp Blog - How You Can Become More Aware of Your Inspiration Inspiration works a bit like this, my friend Nancy commissioned me to make a birdhouse for her friend Kelly; he liked it so much it inspired him to order one for his girlfriend. Another customer wanted a house for bluebirds. I showed them a birdhouse with cardinals. They liked it but ordered one with bluebirds. That's how most of us are inspired. When someone commissions a piece, I ask them a series of questions and like to see pictures of their home. The images allow me to see patterns and colors that the customers prefer. When Kelly came to the studio, he was clear that the theme would be birds in a garden. The house would have a feminine feel, and he would send me photographs. I made these three birdhouses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/45e0a570-55de-47bc-8614-ef76e702e412/Bluebird%2Bon%2BSunflower.webp Blog - How You Can Become More Aware of Your Inspiration Sometimes it's good to sit and ponder, so I had lunch. Looking over the first house, I noticed I had done a bluebird sitting on a sunflower. And the light bulb came on. The image made me think of the local sunflower field at Dix Park and the sheer joy of everyone there. I finished the second drawing with those good feelings and invited Kelly over to make a choice. Doing the drawings are just one part of being inspired to create; choosing glaze color is an additional process. I had the house with bluebirds glazed except for the background-color. I wanted a glaze that had all the qualities that make ceramics magic. It had to have wonderous color variations, do the melty thing, and pick up on the blue in the bluebirds. I couldn't decide, so I did my big trick for when I'm indecisive. I gave it to the universe before going to bed, with the hope that an idea would come to me in the morning during the extraordinary time between sleep and awake or the other exceptional time called showering. Mulling, asking, and image research is how I stay inspired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/901d178a-001a-4b7d-96c3-dff2ede2ddd7/BirdsinGardenBirdhouse.webp Blog - How You Can Become More Aware of Your Inspiration - Make it stand out The birdhouse Kelly picked with robins, cardinals, and bluebirds perch in a garden with poppies and sunflowers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/8463f1c7-eed9-473d-8198-f10ad634be23/Birdhouse%2Bby%2BMarina%2BBosetti.webp Blog - How You Can Become More Aware of Your Inspiration - Make it stand out Three bluebird houses, with different attitudes, drying and waiting to be bisque.

Life happens, and you have to roll with the flow. Everything is a work in progress. When my studio mate, Gretchen Quinn, decided to set up her own shop I had to come up with a way to replace the lost income. It also presented the opportunity to clean and rearrange the studio for teaching again. I enjoy meeting the folks who read my newsletter when they come to take a class. I welcome the connection as much as they appreciate the creative playtime in the new space. Life is like a lump of clay, there are so many ways to form it and none are right or wrong.

My next pair of friends wanted to make birdhouses. Even I can't make a birdhouse in three hours, the allotted class time. Instead, we made mini houses that were easily finished in one class. They learned the skills needed to do bigger projects while making a successful smaller one. Everybody liked them so much they'll be coming back for another class to learn how to glaze them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/69f404ad-05b2-4d92-9c0e-202e32218490/Heather_Beth.webp Blog - What Pottery do You want to Learn How to Make? In the next class, I taught two friends how to make squish plates, an easy, fun, and very successful project that's perfect for beginners. Using a soft slab of clay you impress objects into the clay and create patterns. Using a mold you cut the shape of the plate out, place the clay and the form on a thick piece of foam, then squish the form and clay into the foam. Voila! You've got a plate that only needs a bit of attention around the edges. When the first firing was finished, also know as the bisque firing, I glazed them white and put them in the kiln for the final firing. Here they are. One used elements of nature, gathered from outside the studio. The other used stamps I had carved out of clay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/d05e41f7-f225-470e-963f-6ce54f575241/squish%2Bplates.webp Blog - What Pottery do You want to Learn How to Make? - Make it stand out In the image on the left, we modified an acorn top by sanding and cutting its stem down, the resulting circular pattern looks like a dandelion.

Another approach is what this mother and daughter duo did. In advance of the class, I knew that the daughter wanted to make a mug and the mom wanted to decorate tiles. I had prepared pieces ahead for them and we had a pleasant afternoon glazing and chatting. It was also a really lovely day and the studio was bathed in sunshine and light. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/wait-till-you-see-what-nancy-did-in-her-kitchen monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/8abf6442-72b0-42b2-b8d8-81b16f9076a2/IMG_9261.webp Blog - Wait till You See what Nancy did in her Kitchen Nancy started by purchasing the countertops. With a sample in hand, she picked the colors for the walls and cabinets. For the backsplash, she chose white tile. Then onto my studio to pick the colors for the mural over the sink. I've never seen a customer choose colors with such confidence. In three minutes, she had about thirty colors on the table. Then she was gone. Off in my world reimagining the studio for teaching, I'd lost touch with Nancy's progress – when she texted me this image of the painted cabinets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/a33c2b0f-cc5b-4790-8722-d04606134c88/Kitchen%2BBacksplash%2Bwith%2B2_%2Bdecos.webp Blog - Wait till You See what Nancy did in her Kitchen - Make it stand out We used a series of 2” x 2” decos to line the wall behind the stove to add color and cheer.

Organize. It's the organizing you don't see that makes a space welcoming. I was merciless to my past and released a lot. What's been kept are the things I use now. At this point, most of it's been organized into bins that seemingly disappear. The glazes are in containers that match with neatly printed labels. I now have some desperately needed empty shelves. I've been using the tabletops to store works in progress like birdhouses and coiled vessels. Now they have a safe place to dry without having to be moved around. What's left to be done or what I haven't figured out? An area for packing and shipping, a lunch spot, and a place to read.

That makes the fit of the removable box at the bottom the most significant detail. The birdhouses function because they're easy to clean. I start by building a box within a box. With the clay at the same consistency, the two boxes will shrink in unison. I carefully measure, mark, and cut the rod holes, labeling the back of both sections. When they get separated during construction, and they will, I'll be able to line the holes up again for a perfect fit. The ease of fit make the birdhouses fun to use. At the end of the season, pull the rods out, lift the house off, and hose the debris away. Easy peasy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/7223e792-8790-46ae-96d0-67f28f317200/IMG_9202.webp Blog - How to Make a Clay Birdhouse At this point, the real play begins. I like to add my architectural details using super thin slabs of clay, tiny coils, and texture. The possibilities are endless, and occasionally I visit Pinterest for more. Once I feel the house is complete, I add the roof and give it about an hour to set up. At this point, the clay details and corners are moister than the walls. Before I air dry it, I bring all the clay to the same consistency by wrapping it in plastic and waiting three days. Then let it air dry completely. Once the piece has gone through the kiln for the first or bisque firing, it's no longer fragile. I can sand the rough spots without breakage and prepare the surfaces for glazing. I can also perfect any corners that are a bit off. Once the glazing is complete, it'll go into the kiln again, where the glazes will melt and become their true colors. At the end of the whole process, you'll have an attractive and functional home that will not only add beauty to your yard but will draw nature to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/5f7b024a-e52c-49ee-b4e0-0c4fb0416cc9/Birdhouse%2BBase.webp Blog - How to Make a Clay Birdhouse With the hard part completed, we can move on to the more creative bit. You always have to start with the end-user in mind. What type of bird do you want to house? Each has specifications that will keep them safe from predators and warm in winter. I'm making bluebird houses. First, I play with shapes. Folding sheets of paper in half, I either sketch or cut possible profiles. Once I've chosen a design, I start building the house structure. It's another box that's larger with curves or angles but not difficult if the clay is stiff. That goes pretty quickly, and once together, it's best to let it rest. The corners are soft and need to stiffen up to the hardness of the walls. Until that happens, you can't move it without deforming it. After about an hour you can join the house to the base. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/223ca7be-9538-4e4c-980a-7cd36211ba6a/Leatherhard%2BHouses.webp Blog - How to Make a Clay Birdhouse - Make it stand out I’m having a grand time making these, they’re complicated enough to keep me engaged with enough room for creativity that the ideas keep flowing. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/the-importance-of-craftsmanship-and-creating-with-love monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/24e7cb52-cf90-4073-8270-172948652d00/Blue%2Bbird%2Bhouse%2Bwith%2BDay%2BLillies.webp Blog - The Importance of Craftsmanship and Creating with Love Craftsmanship is an artist's love and commitment to medium and process. The younger me was so eager to make, explore and conquer clay. It seemed the only way to grow was to produce multiples of everything. Now my attitude is different. I want time on my side to enjoy it. Recently I received a birdhouse order for a special someone. I'll use the opportunity to build my supply by making three to five houses. The customer can pick which of these he thinks his Valentine will like, and it'll be decorated in her colors and motifs. The others will be used to explore my thoughts and ideas.

It contains Valentine's Day and my birthday. As I enter my sixties, I think a lot about making, about the objects and value they hold. Aware that once the clay is fired, it will be here for existence. I no longer have the passion solely to produce, but my enthusiasm and love for clay are strong. I love clay as a medium to create and to teach. It's a time-consuming labor of love where building and decorating are done at stages of dryness. It's not meant for the lazy or the weak. It's a complicated relationship worth the effort. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/how-to-make-attractive-outdoor-spaces monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/592ec441-f014-4b8c-b0ea-927b1e8cceac/Hull_1.webp Blog - How to Make Attractive Outdoor Spaces - Make it stand out These dogwood medallions installed on a Raleigh mansion create a unique appeal that only custom work can bring to your home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/29bb786e-2a38-4184-84e3-e6f48594e06a/Little%2BMural%2Bon%2BPorch.webp Blog - How to Make Attractive Outdoor Spaces I did this piece so long ago, my hair had color.

Michael started developing the skill as a boy because of problems concentrating. He made many of us aware of the technique, and as simple as it sounds to say, visualize your results, it’s difficult and takes practice. I delivered tile to a neighbor's home this weekend. Then got treated to a showing of how they determined their tile needs. No guessing, just a helpful visualization method that you can do too. They built a cardboard mockup of their fireplace and then sketched in differently shaped tile combinations until they came up with something that pleased them.

While hiring me to make custom pieces for her neighbors, she's not only helping me stay in business but is making them feel special by carefully choosing pieces and colors that will complement their homes as well as delight them.

It's not, but like most things handmade and like the origins of the Barn Quilt Trail, it's filled with love. Willie Mae, my friend Nancy's granny, was a farmer from birth and never wasted anything. Her quilts were made from her old dresses, scraps, and flour sacks, all stitched by hand. She was practical, and the option of buying beautifully gradated colored fabric wasn't there. Married with five kids, her husband worked at the Coats and Clarks factory while they both ran the farm for love and income. When Nancy sees these quilts, she's brought back to her preteen years of picking fruit, making ice cream, and learning to make sausage with her grandparents and cousins. They raised cows and chickens, kept bees, and a large vegetable garden with flowers growing along the fences. They supplied the family's families with milk, butter, ice cream, honey, and fresh vegetables for most of Nancy's growing up years. She has great memories of eating ice cream wrapped in her granny's quilts with her cousins. I hope you're creating cherishable memories with your family while hunkered down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/2b09b2d2-ad3e-4658-95bf-15eb8d2140ff/Shoofly%2BQuilt%2BArt%2BTile%2Bwith%2Bacorns.webp Blog - How to Create Memories that will Live for Years Last week, I was focused on quilts. I had visited the barn quilt trail, wrote a blog about it, made some quilt inspired tiles and ornaments. Then in a mad rush got all the new work on the website before publishing the blog. All the quilt stuff finished, I started focusing on a commission. Then the phone rang with a friend asking me to dinner. I knew she was decluttering her home. Proudly showing me all the empty space in her closet. She turned to me, pointing at the bed, and asked if I'd like to have one of her granny's handmade quilts. Naturally, I said, "yes." It was such a fitting end to my quilted week, I needed to share it with you all. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/love-is-the-foundation-of-the-barn-quilt-tradition monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/6279b7f9-b3dc-4d8b-8092-d85dadaf3191/Dogwood%2BStar%2BQuilt%2BBlock.webp Blog - Love is the Foundation of the Barn Quilt Tradition I'm lucky that I like being alone, and I haven't been suffering too much with all the social distancing. But it's show season now, and I'm longing to be on the road. I miss the folks I usually get to see this time of year and exploring new restaurants in new towns. I need a road trip, so I grabbed my husband and headed west to NC's Barn Quilt Trail. The Barn Quilt tradition started with love. In 2001, Donna Sue Groves wanted to honor her mother and her sewing artistry by painting a quilt block on her barn. A quilt block or square is the foundation of a quilt. A pattern that's repeated several times and sewn together to create the quilt. Donna's block was a hit, and everyone wanted one. I mean everyone, businesses, barn owners, innkeepers, even libraries wanted a block. In a moment of love, Donna Sue had a new vocation that led to a new tradition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/54dab90c-e462-4892-b6e6-ffe4fe4fa1c6/Ceramic%2BQuilt%2BBlocks.webp Blog - Love is the Foundation of the Barn Quilt Tradition - Make it stand out These 8” tiles are available at One of a Kind (OOAK) Gallery in Micaville, North Carolina, for 100. each.

What potter's and artists use is called a clay body, several clays, formulated for a purpose, like throwing, to mature in a temperature range. I use two clay bodies, one for throwing and another for tilemaking. Grog is the difference, fired clay ground up into different mesh sizes. The amount and the size of the grog will alter the amount the clay will shrink, warp, and move in the firing. A throwing body will shrink about 13%. The tilemaking body, which has a high amount of grog, will shrink 8%. Clay comes in a variety of natural neutrals, from white to almost black. I keep coming back to red clay for my murals. It gives a warm neutral undertone to my bright colors, making them livable for the long term. They're less likely to compete with other decorative elements like window treatments or upholstery. Glazes are rich with a kaleidoscope of colors, that richness brings my murals to life according to my clients. It also makes changing the wall color, window treatments, or getting a new sofa easy when you want a change. If you're interested in having a ceramic mural created for your home, I have an informative how-to guide that you can get below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/302d7515-4e60-4929-98a1-ae72f490bea9/Sleepy%2BHollow.webp Blog - The Magic of Mud and Soil Fundamentals - Make it stand out This 12” x 18” tile is available for installation or with a frame in the web-store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/6164acd9-18fa-4865-b29f-abb877081b64/Cecil_soil.webp Blog - The Magic of Mud and Soil Fundamentals I love the red clay I use. The way it feels running through my hands on the potter’s wheel, the way it holds the glaze color, and the beautiful earthy red it fires too. When the clay order arrived, it got me thinking of dirt. I mean soil. Dirt is what you sweep up, and clay is a type of soil. Soil is a living, breathing thing that, like the body’s skin, requires care and attention. Soil processes and recycles nutrients, like carbon, so that living things can use them over and over again, making it vital to survival. The world has around 23,000 types of soil. North Carolina has about 500. One is clay. Clay contains minerals like iron, magnesium, alkali metals, and alkaline earths. The magic is that these minerals develop plasticity when wet, making the clay malleable. The red clay soil North Carolinians see along the roadways and in our yards is good for more than pottery. Clay is stable ground. It doesn't expand or swell with water. It breathes, iron oxidizes in the presence of air, turning it red. Clay is good for building roads and homes. It also attracts potters. Immigrant potters from England and Germany first arrived in Seagrove, NC, in the late 18th century. Seagrove is the “The Handmade Pottery Capital of the United States.” https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/some-moravian-match-making monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/13a07aa3-6ad6-4fa7-9ca0-f2eccf053eb2/Sample.webp Blog - Some Moravian Match Making After combing my website, they found a previous commission that they liked the feel of.

Good feeling energy. Feng Shui creates it by letting our chi move freely. Color-like music nourishes and uplifts, the more colors you harmoniously absorb, the better you feel. Light is a nutrient. Possibly the most powerful, and it's been called the medicine of the future. I lit up from the inside out when I saw Bobbi's post this morning; there was something so magical about the light. Light is the only energy we can see: candlelight, flashlight, fire, electric bulbs, stars, and moon. Each source changes the color around us, creating moods or setting tones. I'm encouraging you to open up to the child within and feed yourself an abundance of color. No kid ever said, "I love beige." Nope, not ever. When I sat down to dinner Sunday evening, my husband served me a dinner of steak, sweet potato, and a selection of grilled broccoli, red and yellow peppers, and onions. It was the perfect end to my day of color, light, and life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/e5aa0eb1-f476-47dd-aada-57787d3460df/LobsterShack.webp Blog - How to Connect Feng Shui, Color, and Light for a Better Life I don't spend lots of time on social media. But on Sunday mornings, I make an exception and let myself go down a rabbit hole; I want to spend more time lying in bed. I like Instagram. When I started using it, I was careful to follow folks who make me feel good. When I open the app, I'm greeted with images my sleepy, happy self is delighted to see. Last week I mentioned my artist group. One is a painter named Bobbi Heath. She's been tooling around Maine's waterways on a motorboat for the previous week or so, the lucky woman that she is. Yes, I am envious. When I opened the app on Sunday morning, I was welcomed by a clip of Maine scenery in which the colors are stunningly luscious, posted by Bobbi. That got me thinking about light and color, then about color and energy, which led me to Feng Shui. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/envision-your-intent-with-imagination-and-commitment monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/05405e15-c360-4b37-8636-7c09caa338c4/Nursery%2Bcopy.webp Blog - Envision Your Intent with Imagination and Commitment - Make it stand out A portion of a tile inset that replicates the wallpaper from the customer’s childhood nursery at her grandmother’s home. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/is-an-idea-stuck-in-your-head monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/71e914f4-d1ab-40b6-81dd-f0371a1138da/Purple%2BMountains%2BMajesty.webp Blog - Is an Idea Stuck in Your Head? - Make it stand out Purple Mountains Majesty, 11” x 54” - Art Tile Tryptic, by Marina Bosetti https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/the-cobbler-gets-new-shoes monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/40053803-bd04-4fb7-aa37-89121f9fe387/TableProcess.webp Blog - The Cobbler Gets New Shoes - Make it stand out These images are the pencil drawing on the bisque tiles, the partially glazed tabletop, and the glazed background with monarch butterflies. https://www.bosettiarttile.com/blog/5-easy-ideas-for-creating-a-more-beautiful-life monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/3a11291f-3554-48f7-a804-d074e6e7c520/Mural%2BDetail.webp Blog - 5 Easy Ideas for Creating a More Beautiful Life - Make it stand out I don't know about you, but I've seen an abundance of bunnies in my neighborhood this last month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e7c655228cf94fe793bd81/dede4440-104c-401a-a39e-795266f9e0e8/Spring%2BPoppies.webp Blog - 5 Easy Ideas for Creating a More Beautiful Life - Make it stand out My neighbors remembered to spread poppy seeds last fall and the hood has been ablaze with these gorgeous red beauties.
