Lepidoptera Sighting In My Studio...

Lepidoptera…

In my studio? Really?

Hmmm...

Hopefully very soon they will be fluttering to yours so they can become part of a beautiful piece of jewelry…

My Etsy shop on Monday most likely! 

These took shape in the studio last week. 

They were created and fired within two days.

Quite the short instar if you ask me…

But I will not complain...

Colors were chosen to paint on their wings…

The four butterflies above and the ones in the next two pictures are all my Autumn Glaze.

All from the same firing…

All placed right next to one another in the kiln…

All images photographed towards the end of my natural daylight window - which is why they are so dark.

Oh, but That Blue… 

That Blue Purple… 

That Blue Purple Copper Brown...

So just as mother nature brings variations to species…

And to individuals within those species…

I bring you some limited editions…

Limited because that is my new thing to keep myself here in this creative place for a while…

I make what I want and will put it out there to sell.

Sure I can make these in any of my glaze colors.

I could probably have them available in any of my textures…

But that is just not in my heart right now.

You can ask… I will probably throw yours in there with mine!

I also have issues with not being able to make you something you really want…

I'm a people pleaser deep down. It makes me feel good to make people happy.

My heart is fluttering about…

Enjoying this creative area I have placed myself.

About to venture into the new world of Master Gardener Training…

Into a place that will give me better knowledge for better understanding and implementation of my new set of skills. Even right here in my own experimental garden backyard.

Kind of like how Riley must be feeling now that he has just about mastered walking and is about to start running (he is getting fast!). But still super clumsy - which is adorable yet makes me flinch when he is near a pointy corner on furniture.

Oh, and this picture - was from today as I was trying to photograph some pieces in fleeting bits of indirect sunlight in the kitchen. Those hands were reaching for everything and he was loving it, cracking up the entire time. Constantly trying to peek at what he was grabbing and but could not see.

Wish I could've gotten a non-blurry photo of his little eyes and the smile you could see in them…

Monday - Lepidoptera take flight…

Catch yours!
