Elbow deep in clay....

Once again, I have been neglecting my blog because I am in "the zone". It's been non-stop, 24/7, cranking!! I miss you guys, damnit!!! When I get commissions, I don't stop until I finish, for the most part, because I become obsessed. I also don't like to keep my customers waiting too long (partly because I know how impatient I can be ;-)). Whatever gets listed on ebay is extra that I make. So, it's the deluge, coupled with the fact that I am leaving for Chicago early next month for the show (yay!!!), which has been keeping me preoccupied. Maybe I can slow down for a bit when I return. I can't wait to see my buddies next month :-D!!!! Here's a few things I've made recently...

  5. Kiva is not actually selling in Chicago, she is just attending the shows. And yes Tom, it is the Tom Bishop show on the weekend of the 9th and 10th. Chicago International Wholesale Trade Show to be exact. Just answering for Kiva, cause I know she won't be awake for 4 more hours, hehe...
