Ok, the countdown is really quite serious now... I'm not sure if my last batch to go in the kiln will be out in time... fingers crossed!
These wee things are all for etsy, I hope to continue small stuff in London, at least small stuff - then I can keep the shop going... Its been so great - people have paid me money for the things I have made! wicked.

slow days are over so quickly

yo-yos, theres a fantastic childhood bakery good I should never have forgotten about.

re-home

me and my stuff have to part ways. Its an unbearable concept so I'm 'not' thinking about it, and attempting to complicate things further by using up all of the clay at home... this could result in having a lot more stuff to part from, or a lot of incompletes floating around. Logan and I are moving to London, but I dont have my visa yet, I dont know when I will get it, fingers crossed everything is right and I will get it... I am stressing out about it, its true, I am a worrier.
Luckily the lovely Kirsty Rebbecca of the brand spanking new Lucien Midnight on Johnston st will sell my ceramic stuff for me. Its god awful ebay for my dresser and lamps and sewing machine and lounge suite and chairs and STUFF that freaks me. Which is why I haven't even started it.
haha . . . ?
Anyway, I have been stocking my etsy shop as things come out of the kiln, in the hope of flicking a few things off before depositing them in the real life shop.

I have been doing STUFF, I have just been a bit lazy keeping up to date with documenting everything.... I'm obsessed, I'm making, I'm using up all the clay and glaze and colour I have before its time to pack up and go.
If all goes well the timing will be perfect and all will emerge from the kiln in time to be finished and fingers crossed sold, or re-homed... it will be pretty tight!

oh New Zealand, so awesome,
miss you already!

flaky

some small things in the shop! quite a relief when it comes to my smash-in-the-post-anxiety. also,alarmingly enough, I have opened the bucket of porcelain slip I bought for all that christmas holiday productivity (bah haha) and have made some new plaster molds... exciting stuff - some photo evidence soon!

a-new

Its getting easier and easier to do less and less as the unemployed days clock up.
Grand plans for mass productivity over the holiday are all but lost, but in the interest of being one of those "I'll just do the dishes first, then tidy the desk, then get some washing on..."etc procrastinators I have listed the remains of last years (apart from the stuff still at school waiting to be fired) body of cup-mad work on etsy at mega sale cheap sell it all prices. fingers crossed it goes, I feel the need for a cleanse in order to start fresh! Also after a whole year (gasp how could you possibly wait?) I have employed my gocco and burned a couple of screens for some thank you notes and address cards, its a very cool little thing, more could come of it...

so, goodbye etsy packages, be safe!
