It almost look like

 I do nothing creative

or designing

these days.....

But none of that is true

I'm working really hard

to find direction

for all new projects

When the time is right

I'll tell you  all about it!

Have a great weekend

The making of Maantje's Mobile 3

All the moons are biscuit baked

they are beautiful white

&

still very fragile

I've been busy with glaze

in three colors

I am working on my transfer experiment too

& little wall drops

Have a good wednesday!

The making of Maantje's Mobile 2

All the little porcelain moons

are leather dry.

None have broken during the process.

Smile

I've chosen not to wash the edges

with a damp cloth

I like them to be a bit

rough

They will be backed in this kiln

I started my screen print on transfer paper project

Above is a test with Angobe color

on transfer paper

Next week more.

I'm already looking forward to it!

Happy wednesday

Maantje

♥

will

of course

gets everything I love to make.

If I like to make a present really special

I wait with making

until the little wonder is on earth

only then I feel what suits best.

First to make, 

last to give,

her own porcelain

Appeltaart mobile.

A day after she was born 

I started.

All the little moons

are  drying now

for one week,

wrapped in plastic.

(otherwise they will dry to quickly and break)

They will go into the kiln 

next Tuesday

to be heated for the first time

at 1050 degrees Celsius.

I thought i would be nice to share with you

the making of a porcelain mobile

So people, 

like me a couple of months ago,

who don't have a clou what is involved

in making porcelain

could have a little peak

into a ceramic studio.

Keep you posted!

Screen Print: 'Spread the Love'

I found an old tin

on the market

from the sixties

I used the tin as an inspiration for this screen print

It is different,

but the feel and colors similar.

I wished I knew the name of the designer

there must be more!

There are 11 colors in this print

:-)

Thank you all for your get well wishes

I'll be running around the neighborhood soon again!

A big Kiss,

Guusje
