She grows the leaves in her gorgeous yard and then selects the best to cast in her special concrete mix. After the concrete cures, she peels back the leaf and begins the process of hand painting. Linda adds layers and layers of colors to create vivid realism to these permanent leaves. She then seals them so they can be displayed outdoors or indoors. These are beautiful simply on the wall or a shelf or displayed as part of custom bird baths, butterfly baths and fountains.</div><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0LGH9BF8uDbAHu_Dbc7db76xvrp14NbAoSNVI91GRv5yfvYXrvW34vqbFdlo6205nG7l30eP1d1YpL1EKAcaW4uLVZmqsLJtkP1Rceeje_3duPoiU9jZ5hc3zMz5TSeX3724F3jLlkIKy/s200/Masons+Gallery+Birbaths.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598153768620619266" /><span><span></span></span><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16136829283558354181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735466989069930921.post-67446127272676539072011-03-24T14:27:00.000-07:002011-03-24T14:58:33.903-07:00March!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ4keMkAfipaZjFrU28GhjlyCX4Dqero-wY5plgS5uv79nazz4A3sIZE6ZjNVWA8aRnlcdP675fBjlrcf0Mfu-XU843fm8oxwyNrjVmh47IbqCXeebiJyfCj6OBTdR89BhKbVhNYSOlDSy/s1600/DSC01901.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ4keMkAfipaZjFrU28GhjlyCX4Dqero-wY5plgS5uv79nazz4A3sIZE6ZjNVWA8aRnlcdP675fBjlrcf0Mfu-XU843fm8oxwyNrjVmh47IbqCXeebiJyfCj6OBTdR89BhKbVhNYSOlDSy/s200/DSC01901.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587767784155549218" /></a><br />March is already almost gone!

I'll keep adding items but if you saw something at Craft Riot and it's not listed, just convo me. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks to all who came out for Craft Riot and the hard working EtsyAustin team for such a fun event. </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16136829283558354181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735466989069930921.post-82757741361870047792010-03-09T19:40:00.001-08:002010-03-09T19:42:49.766-08:00Another map saved from the recycle bin.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitli_tsUd6hBElXkVNbYGglwzGrxs-erFzTLTKTG9M0hGHsDOQblDsOgI7Or8ZJEJup8xYeShXE7jLrKrdXqniKEklSMGTBzhCuMs8LJYI_qrVUBruP7M5-DNAn6JPUfMo6hJzFDeGuIdd/s1600-h/DSC01232.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitli_tsUd6hBElXkVNbYGglwzGrxs-erFzTLTKTG9M0hGHsDOQblDsOgI7Or8ZJEJup8xYeShXE7jLrKrdXqniKEklSMGTBzhCuMs8LJYI_qrVUBruP7M5-DNAn6JPUfMo6hJzFDeGuIdd/s320/DSC01232.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446845487301762498" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoXvGbocjXF5akQ1gPtbQvZkVx3r6O4k2IJaNbqmKcUkdQjPFwjV3SmSIny1lUmQbqlgDkXr8dWUQ9CfAJ8Z0dMBSzNJLsKM-G6M7LXN6oZPxWdmOdYliRyg6B3Hbf5_wHYnS8EvQVfzeC/s1600-h/DSC01230.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoXvGbocjXF5akQ1gPtbQvZkVx3r6O4k2IJaNbqmKcUkdQjPFwjV3SmSIny1lUmQbqlgDkXr8dWUQ9CfAJ8Z0dMBSzNJLsKM-G6M7LXN6oZPxWdmOdYliRyg6B3Hbf5_wHYnS8EvQVfzeC/s320/DSC01230.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446845261043293922" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16136829283558354181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735466989069930921.post-44766523890273557672010-03-06T15:25:00.000-08:002010-03-06T15:34:17.567-08:00Cobalt and Beads<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6-jjqM47U4HQDGEh8wmpro4yZeEP_g0K_Bn4kpFlLI7CgaB_6ChouPFMFTkrvRyv5PyIzUNe-B1ZyWf5Xa8kbMcbhiJ_hcfc2CaPwdWjKB1NmwkIe0CODXTYH-TH9ndcKlHrX4W4Xas6/s1600-h/DSC01225.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 184px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6-jjqM47U4HQDGEh8wmpro4yZeEP_g0K_Bn4kpFlLI7CgaB_6ChouPFMFTkrvRyv5PyIzUNe-B1ZyWf5Xa8kbMcbhiJ_hcfc2CaPwdWjKB1NmwkIe0CODXTYH-TH9ndcKlHrX4W4Xas6/s200/DSC01225.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445666765180567282" /></a>Guitar Beads for <a href="http://etsyaustin.blogspot.com/">78704 Market</a> on March 20.

I really missed being in the studio and forgot how soothing a couple of hours in the mud can be. Two weekends of throwing and hand building was enough for an almost full kiln. I can't wait to glaze these, it is like having so many wonderful blank canvasses. Bowls, luminaria, beads, apple bakers, car cup holder liners, cat sculptures, mugs and tiles. I'm also finally signed up for an arts and craft fair on March 20 with Team Etsy Austin.

(To use a favorite line from an old movie.)* Buying and Selling on Etsy is a labor of love and it's about the People. I like that Etsy means buying from real people that love what they are doing. As a buyer I am always amazed at the personal notes, extra handmade touches and care that goes into shipments. It's like getting a gift even if you are buying supplies! Yesterday I received some card sleeves from <a href="http://cardmaven.etsy.com/">www.cardmaven.etsy.com</a>. She included a really nice note and a nice pile of cut out scrapping paper. Very nice! I'll pass some on to my customers, etc. with my stamp on the back. Thanks Card Maven! <div><br /></div><div>I try to keep the love going whenever I make a sale. A photo of free gift wrapping on my latest Etsy sale is pictured. I was excited to sell one of my favorite pieces to a customer in Arizona who purchased it as a gift for someone in Wisconsin. I sometimes charge for gift wrapping but if there is time and ready supplies I'll gift wrap for the fun of it. It is such an honor that someone likes my work and will give it as a gift. I found an old travel atlas in great condition and am using it for wrapping. This then went into a bigger box with peanuts. All recycled! </div><div><br /></div><div>*First person to convo me at tinalewis.etsy.com with the name of that movie gets a free magnet! Don't comment in case someone hasn't seen the movie.

What a great time in Waterloo Park! The music (Carolyn Wonderland who was joined by Shelly King) and the crowd were wonderful. We received VIP treatment from KGSR and all the volunteers. Lots of great vendors and plenty of parking...very nice. We even had some cloud cover and shade! There is one more show left, on August 12, it should be a good one. If you go, be sure and take some cash to spend in the Etsy booth. <div><br /></div><div>This was also an opportunity to try out a smaller table display. It can be a challenge displaying pottery in a 2 foot table space. Fortunately I found some items to repurpose and came up with a simple display for beads, cardholders, votives, magnets and other smaller items.

I love Helsinki and this was my 5th or 6th trip there. The Arabia Ceramics Factory and Museum was a museum I wanted to visit again. It is a small museum but had a lovely collection of historical ceramics produced there and a nice collection of pottery and ceramic art from many sources. To see all my photos you can go to my <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/tinalewisfootbag/Helsinki2009#">Picasa web page</a>. Here are a few from the Museum. I also love the market that was very near where I stayed. There were only two potters in there but lovely work and lots of nice crafts.

It was great to see at least another row of vendors since I was there last. Tons of great fresh food and local things to buy. The <a href="http://www.austinclay.org/">Greater Austin Clay Artists (GACA)</a> has a regular booth there. I have had a great time selling there and was happy to see GACA member, Michelle Turner's wonderful display and the new GACA banner. Michelle is a graduate of Texas State University and a very talented clay artist. That big blue bowl to Michelle's left (far right in the far right picture) is now mine!

I included some demo pictures on my <a href="http://artist.to/tinalewispotteryceramicart/">Facebook Pottery (Fan Page</a>). You don't need to be on Facebook to get to that page, but I would love to have you as fan too. For more pictures and information on the artists you can go to the <a href="http://artofthepot.com/">Art of the Pot web page.</a> The Artstream trailer was parked and housed beautiful work by artists from all over the US.

First the Austin Handmade Market was cancelled on Thursday. Disappointing but since we had business travel plans for Sunday it was o.k. Well, then a possible flu pandemic outbreak in our destination - Mexico City happened. Sigh.. So many fun things going on in Austin but I think I better stay close to home. Post on Etsy, take photos... Here is a photo of one of the pieces I am entering in the GACA member show. (see postcard and link in posts below). This is the first in a series and was created over about a year and through multiple firings. I'll look up and post the actual time line from throwing to final firing.
