impromtu visit

My best friend and fellow ceramicist Kayley paid me an impromptu visit over the weekend,

Just what I needed following recent events..

Its the first time she's seen my studio, and as you can see, we were very productive - as usual!

And then spent the night dancing my troubles away, even though she had to be on a train at 8.30am to get into work the next morning!

True friend!! Thanks Kayley!

potholes gardens



Hehe, these made me smile what with seeing SO much on the news every morning about how bad the roads are at the moment!

Wonder if Southend borough council would go for this option?!

Nice idea though!

polaroid prints


Came across these lovely silk scarves on one of my favourite blogs. They are by a guy called Philippe Roucou, just love the subject matter of the photos!

Thats the thing with polaroids, you can take the most mundane photograph of like, a b
ed (as above) and it still look incredibly intriguing!

I have a slight strange obsession with polaroids at the moment, I want to try out some polaroid transfers onto the clay surface.. but i cant seem to find any polaroid cameras or film that does the job!! I think we've got an old polaroid camera knocking around somewhere, so at least I can attempt it with that once i buy some films.

Just love the effect polaroids have! Think they would suit my work perfectly!
Best get polaroid camera hunting!

studio productive-ness..


Spent 6 hours in the studio today making moulds in preparation for my 'Whats Up Dollface' collection and also my next cylindrical vessel collection about childhood!

LOVED IT! forgot how much i like getting my hands dirty and actually MAKING things! Though Ive got a bit of a back ache from hunchin' over a bit too much..

But all in all a productive day - if interspersed with stints on PhotoBooth... aah i do love that programme! i could sit on it all day playing with the effects... Anyway. 11 moulds were made! PHEW, cant wait to put them to good use...
