In an effort to renew my blogging motivation, and to keep things easy, I think I’ll make Fridays a day devoted to simplicity. This time of year, there are so many small pleasures to find yourself delighted by….
fresh eggies from pop-pop’s farm.
big fat radishes.
spending all day trekking around to antique stores, only to realize that the best ones are down the street. Ironstone plates and bowls purchased there for a super price.
have a lovely weekend!
How long does it take for you to make a figure? Just curious! I love your work!
hi tammy,
it takes about 3-4 hours per piece, sometimes more, spread out over a few days. I rarely sit down and finish something all in one go.
Do you know when you will get your Halloween pieces done? Also, do you use embrodiery thread for the stitching on the faces? I try to do that on mine but I just can’t seem to get the stiching right – mayne it is the thread I am using….BTW, I recently saw you on Martha Stewart and so I bought your book – you are inspiring me and I appreciate your work! :)
Tammy, Thank you so much! I am not 100% sure I’ll have Halloween pieces this year. I am sort of on a break from making the animals (motherhood!! It wears me out!) I would love to get back into the swing of things. If I do make them, I’ll send out a email to everyone on my mailing list with the date. Oh, and I do sometimes use embroidery thread for the faces, and other times I use a silky sort of upholstery thread. take care!
ahh…simplicity – that is my mantra these days.
your ironstone dishes are a great find!
