My etsy site is up and running! I only have a few necklaces on there right now because I need to photograph a lot more stuff and write up descriptions... I also need to get some shipping materials ordered, but my goal is to have a bunch of jewelry, sculptures and wheel thrown goods, etc. ready to sell by November. Just in time for Christmas (hint hint). Here's the site so far, nothing special but keep an eye on it because I'll be working hard to add more stuff in the next couple of weeks.

This is all that I have on there right now, really basic hemp necklaces... I'm going to be trying out some new designs this weekend to get more variety.
I know they're not for everyone, they're very boho/hippie looking and not everyone likes hemp jewelry... but I don't make anything that I wouldn't wear myself.
I did a cone 5 firing that turned out some super sweet pendants and cork pots so I'm hoping to get those added soon. Here's a few of the little pots that I took pictures of. Kind of a fun thing to have in your kitchen and store your herbs and spices in, or whatever you want. Who doesn't like a little cork pot?!
Made a bunch of teeny tiny ones too, hoping to figure out how to wrap them into necklaces.
I've done a few more bisque and glaze firings since my last post. Made a ton of beads and did a terrible job of getting them not to melt together. I need to figure out a different firing technique once they're glazed and I'm trying something new tomorrow so hopefully it goes well. Got some big ass bowls ready to glaze, pretty excited about that. Glazed a big sun sculpture which will be firing tomorrow; and next week I'll be working on sculpting a few smaller versions of that because I have a feeling it will be a pretty hot commodity. Moving right along! ...dugga dun dugga dun...
