Cobalt and Beads

Guitar Beads for 78704 Market on March 20. One of the things that keeps pottery fun even with long breaks for work is experimenting with glazes, making beads and smaller pieces on the wheel. The kitty sculptures are pure fun too!

Glaze load results: lots of dark cobalt and plenty of beads.

Etsy Austin at Blues on the Green



Etsy Austin has had a booth at 107.1 KGSR's Blues on the Green series and last night I was able to participate.  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.   

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.   You can see a picture of the "back" part of my display.    

It was also fun to share the booth with some of the wonderful Etsy Austin crafters and artists. Here they are setting up.   Lots of fun, Lots of heat..... Austin outdoors in July...
