A quick etsy shop update!

I don't think I will be doing a colour post this week, I've got my nose buried in that color book I mentioned earlier and I've been working on our etsy site. So far I've added 7 new items...that's your cue to head over there and take a peek. :)

I'm working on my style with wheel thrown pieces and I'm pretty sure I know which direction I want to go in. There are certain things I get excited about making and that's what I'll be cranking out within the next few weeks. Not to mention, I've got an art show coming up and a series of sculptures I want to work on. Busy, busy times ahead!

Thanks for reading and have a super fantastic day!

National Drink a Glass of Wine Day

So I think February 18 has now become one of my favorite days of the year! Today is national drink a glass of wine day, and do I love me some wine. Now, I am not, by any means, a wine connoisseur. I don't inhale, swish and spit. I don't know aromas or all the other stuff. (I'm sure I just offended a lot of people, sorry). Merlot is my wine of choice, specifically white Merlot. Mmmmm. How bad is it to have a glass at 7:30 in the morning, I mean it is a national holiday, right? I will be a good girl. I will be a good girl.

To keep from offending the people who REALLY know their wine, I am going to focus on all the cute things to help celebrate this glorious holiday all available on etsy.

I adore the Keep Calm and Carry On posters, its phrase is one of my many mantras. So you know I had to pick this poster from PosterPop and they come in a ton of colors.

Aren't these GORGEOUS?! They are hand engraved from daydreemdesigns and I think they would make any wine taste a little bit better.

I really love the idea of wine charms, too many times I have lost my glass only to find it much lighter than when I left it. However, I have yet to find any I think are cute enough to hang around my beloved's stem. These charms from BijoDesigns are pretty darn cool though.

Re-purposed European coins?! You had me at re-purposed European!

So pull out your best glass, pour your favorite wine, put on some great music (I'm choosing Adele), and sit back. Here's to life and love and National drink a glass of wine day!!

p.s. keep in mind its drink a glass not a bottle :)

Projects

I'm in Atlanta right now and this snow is crazy! I don't think I'll be going to work today, as the road in front of my apartment complex is completely iced over. However, the boyfriend is working today, from home, so I won't have the computer for the next 8 hours.

I wanted to take some time to talk about some projects we are working on. Currently, I'm waiting for some clay to rehydrate so I can make more button coasters. I'm going to try out a new glazing design and some new colours. But...we still have 3 sets for sell in the etsy shop! The salmon pink set seems to be the most viewed. I'm not a pink girl but I have to admit, I do love these colours.

I also wanted to show these....mugs I made for my friends for Christmas. They are based off of Xeno Lovegood's mugs from the new HP movie. I used a licorice glaze and a bright blue glaze. I love love love the way these mugs feel, really unique. We will be taking pre-orders next week and we will definitely have them for sale at our next craft show.

Speaking of which, we've got some more ideas brewing for 2011. Nothing has been nailed down, but there is talk of pillows, wedding toppers, aprons for big girls, lamp bases, just really unique items for the home. We are super excited about this new year, what it will bring, and the people we will connect with.

Well, I gotta get some breakfast and start working on projects. Have a spectacular day and stay warm!

Etsy shop is open!

The etsy is up and running, finally! I've been trying to catch up with some schoolwork so it took me a little longer than I anticipated.

As of right now, we have bird ornaments, coasters, aprons, and a couple of mugs for sale. I'll also be working in the studio this week to crank out some more mugs and coasters. If you have any questions for us or custom order ideas, please contact us: adventuresathand@gmail.com

And now I have to get back to homework and made-for-tv Christmas movies. haha!
