A hand built bowl I made in black clay and glazed in black metallic. I made this with a jagged edge to reflect me - a little rough around the edges 😁

Here are a few more stoneware dishes I made @maison.stoi. These are glazed in a translucent white. I can't tell you how much I have missed pottery during this pandemic. However, now I have finally found the time to photograph some of the pieces! 😃

There have been many changes in my life over the last 6 months. It was like I was living in the upside down for a while.
Now I'm in the process of putting my life back together and so I decided to redo my office. Nothing like a fresh start!
.
I love the tropics. There is nothing that makes me feel better than a day at the beach. Or listening to the sound of palm leaves swaying in the wind. .
I also do a specialized type of interior design called Neuro Design, which focuses on bringing nature inside. So when @photowall_sweden contacted me, I jumped at the chance to use their beautiful wallpaper and this is the result!
.
A reading area (shown) and an office area were created (shown on blog). For the complete before and after of my office and to snag a 25% discount on any of their products, please go to the link in my bio! And don't forget to let me know what you think 😘

I know I still haven't posted my bowl yet. I can't

I know I still haven't posted my bowl yet. I can't seem to find the right plant to put in it (I am using it as a small hanging planter) so I decided to post this plate I made during one of my first few lessons. I went to the market today and saw some beautiful strawberries and thought they'd be perfect to show the plate off.
.
In reality this is a plate with a high side. Its 1.5 inches high so I guess it's actually a really low bowl? 🤔
.
Either way it's perfect for serving small fruit like strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and that makes me happy! 😃

Happy Sunday!!

The bowls have finally arrived from the UK!! And I am so excited to show you what I made during my lesson with @karaleighceramics starting with this little guy. A ridged tasting bowl glazed in the deepest blue 😍 (is that blue not the deepest blue you’ve ever seen?? Thank you Kara for using your beautiful glaze for this 😘😘). I absolutely love the little ridges I was able to create on the inside (see second photo). Stay tuned for the crown jewel tomorrow 😁

I made a spoon rest a few weeks before I went to the UK and I must say that it has proven to be quite handy 😀 .
Truth be told, it started out as a small bowl attempt which flopped but then morphed into this spoon rest which I thought might be practical. Turns out that I love it and use it a lot! .
Isn't it funny how sometimes a mistake can turn into something you ❤

Omg I made a bowl!! Yes that is me with the wavy hair 😁. But enough about me - do you see the bowl!!! 😍😍😍
I went to the UK and took a lesson with @karaleighceramics and I made this bowl!! I may never do it again but now there is proof that I made at least one 😃 Thank you so much @karaleighceramics for being so patient with me. I can’t wait to try it out @maison.stoi when summer break is over!! .

My first plate. Flat bottom on the outside but listing starboard on the inside. Mental note: never serve anything with a sauce in this plate (I guess I won't be needing the spoon then!) 😁
