And here is the last step of making my cups or mug

And here is the last step of making my cups or mugs. The decorating part is my favorite!
I really enjoy this process even though at times can be time consuming depending on the design. But it is all worth it when you see your creations finished coming to the world to bring a smile to people and just a little bit of happiness.😊🌷🌼🌻

Hola!! This is a new way of letting you know some info! Please slide and let me know in comments 😊. And if this post goes dead, then I'll know it doesn't work 😆.
Please like if you see it (just to reassure me this app likes me)

I am on the making of cups and mugs, they are paciently drying...😴 so hopefully by the end of the week I'll be doing a bisque firing.
I am getting ready for a couple of markets in Wodonga and Wagga Wagga 😊. You can check my stories under "markets".

I am not joking , I much rather to be making pottery😂.
But here is something I wanted to share with you all, I love laughing and being surrounded by happy people. I have no problems with even laughing about myself. That's my childish side 😆.

This is how I build my cups and mugs. It is a fast video but in reality making these it is much slower process.

I wait until it is leather hard to attach the handle and usually I wait until the next day to apply slips or underglaze to decorate them.

My process of building is different according to the seasons. Right now in winter, I just lighty cover them with plastic so they dry a bit quicker. But in summer time, that's a different ball game, the extreme Victorian weather makes everything tricky. You will have to wait until January to see how I suffer 😆.

I am enjoying this part of my creative process. It helps me to keep all my ideas in a diary and in colours, rather than just improvising when I pick up a piece of greenware.
For this I am using Posca Markers which are a lot of fun to use, my son is using them also after seeing me playing with them 😊.
I am not a professional at drawing, just enjoy it and I have fun!!!
Have you tried these markers?.

What do you think???, I'd love your feedback! 😊

A couple of months ago I made this wall vase inspired in a piece from the 50's -60's. As many of you already know, I love that era and it is there where I dive for inspiration.

One day I was just looking at vintage pieces on the internet and I thought I could make something similar applying my own twist (I'll show you the original on my stories)

This is my first wall vase, it came out with some issues but I was able to repair it applying kintsugi technique. I love it so much I didn't want to keep it in my box of failures. Now it is being displayed on my wall at home.

What do you think???? 😊

I do rather to be making pieces, but, it is necessary to complete other tasks of my creative business 😀.
I am getting ready for a few markets during August. My next one will be in the lovely town if Beechworth in North East Victoria. I'll be posting in my stories for more details!!

The process of ceramic making is at times challenging but I enjoy it. It is worth it when I develop my ideas and transmit them to clay, and turn them into a functional piece. Something that I create and can be touch, look and feel everyday.

I love the process of making ceramics, every step has a challenge, there is always something you need consider carefully. Sometimes you succeed sometimes you fail, but it is all part of the learning curve 😊.

When I create I'd like to think I am leaving a positive mark in the world, through the making of a functional art piece. Something that deserves a little space in the life of someone, because it was created with love and passion. Behind each piece, there is a story of determination and chasing a dream.

I am starting to get ready for spring, not because

I am starting to get ready for spring, not because I am wishing away the winter months, it is just because at this time of the year clay dries at a super slow rate. So by the time everything is completely dry it will be just a few weeks away from September 1st. Which honeslty it is not far way!!!.
I created these small pots inspired by the silky cup mushrooms I see in autumn time during my walks in the pine forest. We collect those mushrooms, they are delicious!, and they also take very funny shapes if left overgrown.
I am putting my own spin here, and some happy colours of course 😊. They right now drying and waiting to be fired in a few weeks along with other pretty things for your home!!!
Xxx Jess.

Every making cycle I try to make a few cheeseboards, I just love them, not only because they are a simple food serving option, but they can also decorate a corner of your kitchen. I love displaying things! Do you???.
And only a couple of ring holders left too,

I was planning on updating my instagram shop, but everytime I need to do something in this temperamental app, it decides not to work for me.
A few weeks ago was the reel uploading feature....
Any one else having some issues with it???. Maybe I need to change phone 😕

What can go wrong behind the scenes?? 😂
I am lucky to live in a stunning area of Victoria. But, that also means that there are more tourists and kids are on school holidays....that slows down the internet! 😨
What can I do? Nothing really, I just need to be extra patience and have a laugh 😁.

But I have managed to have everything ready for tomorrow 😜.
