soaring wings

so i carved these angel wings for someone i was once very close to.

for her birthday. i sent it in the mail today. 

i hope it means something to her, since creating them for her meant a lot to me too.

freshly fired

well, i'm happy to report that this batch has vibrant patinas!

{...and i have lost a small elusive piece... it will turn up 3 firings from now.}

i hope to have a few of these finished this week!

oh orange marmalade kitties!

some bronze pieces ready to go into the kiln. 

i can't wait to see the patinas~ i still 'ooohhh & ahhh' when i fish them out of the coals!

... and well, & the occasional frustrated moment... of not being able to find that really small, elusive piece that's seems forever lost.

{my sweet marjji ginger kitty looks on... i love her...}

i am on a fox crazzzze!

breaking the silence

busy summer, but here is what i've been up to ::

the etsy metal clay team had a charm swap! 

here were mine...

(i have to admit, of 'course i procrastinated to the very last minute. so there were things that i really wanted to do...)
