DragonStarArtThe beginnings of a new painting. 8 x 10 inches. I have the perfect frame to become part of the art. :) Blue graphite for most of the painting, white ink for the highlights and the deer.
The scanner did a horrible job. It hates pencil lines.
Pendants, beads, and a little monster made of clay. The brown clay is cassius basaltic which will turn a deep black when fired. I have several other things made and some are awesome. I’ll show off some of those when I’m closer to getting the kiln. Until then, they are top secret! Only one person other than myself has even seen the sketches. :)
Someone started loaning books to me and I got used to reading again every evening before bed. Since I can’t find the time to exchange the book every two or three days (even though I would love to see you more often if I could), I started re-reading some of mine, and realized how many books I was missing from this series! One trip to the bookstore….
And now I’m only missing the last four!
Mortimer! My new favorite creature!

In other news…
I have lots of ceramic clay! I’ve been making beads, pendants and other random things. There’s even a little monster who is nearly dry. My kiln fund is growing slowly, but I wish it would go faster!

New things! Some will go to my etsy shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/DragonStarArt and some will be listed on craftstar when it is up and running.
The ghost ornaments are finished and look great! Now I can make a tutorial on them.
I would consider these to be an easy level project to make.
Abby, my lovely tortie, is helping with photography today.
Today I am shopping for ceramic clay! By the time I have the kiln, there will be lots of lovely things ready to go in it!
I love it when something looks exactly like I imagined! This is one of my new ghost Halloween ornaments. I still need to varnish it and add a hanger to it. Please excuse the bad photo.
Interested in a tutorial on these little ghosties?
