I spent the afternoon preparing and packing up an order headed for PEI, then a couple of hours making teabowls. The teabowl is such a simple form but I really feel like these are evolving so much every time I make them. They are one of my favorite things to throw at the moment.
I also attempted to photograph some of my pieces with a (very) simple makeshift set-up. I'm not happy with them - it was too difficult to get the right lighting in my studio which had bright sunlight coming in from both sides. Everything looked bleached. I'm sure it would help if I knew more about my camera but unfortunately that is something I don't have time for and am not interested enough to make the time. I'm thinking about hiring someone who knows what they're doing.
where i am, what i'm thinking, and what is being made in the process...art, life, and everything in between.

From Men's shirt to Toddler Dress.
I found another fantastic and easy sewing tutorial online that I just had to try. It involves repurposing an old men's shirt (I bought a few at a thrift store on a 50% off day) and turning it into a super cute toddler dress. I've finished one so far and really love how it turned out - I can't wait to start on the second. I've got so many ideas of how I could modify these. You can find the tutorial here.
