stay sane

I try to keep my head up and not to let myself fall into sadness and loss.

I know there is no way on earth that such evil would win, and

I know I am good in heart and I know I made no harm to no one -

So I do have faith in life, in god and in human kind -

That this time

The good ones will win.

I am going through some hard time , because someone decided so.

I am holding on through it all, trying to stay sane, keeping my family strong and united more than ever

I am learning so much from it about myself.

So, I thank the hard time for they teach me and let me know how important it is

To have your loved ones loving you back with no conditions,

And to have art in life as a great great comfort.

I know that most of you don’t know what it is about, but I felt the need to share.

I am making earrings and rings lately, it keeps my head busy with positive and beautiful, and gives me comfort.

I am having hard time taking good pics of it, but this is what I got so far (I hope you like it!!!)

Much love,

Stay safe and in light

Yay! Opening the Kiln

Yay! Opening the Kiln, originally uploaded by Oooty.

Porcelain and ceramics earrings and pieces of jewelry making is a looooooooooooooooooooog process, sometimes I find myself complain about the time it takes, and sometime… when I open the kiln I am soooooooooooo happy lol, I act like it is the first time it happened ever and I am so pleased with it =0)

So today, after a long sunny day, I went home and opened it – and Yayyyyyyy!!! I was very pleased with the results, and tonight I will make some very beautiful earrings out of it =0)

Oops when open the kiln....=D

Why don’t I ever read the label???

I had a bittersweet surprise when I finally had the time to open the kiln last night…..

Green porcelain turns into beautiful antique Blue =D

Oh well, Most of what I made does not fit the blue color, but, I manages to save some and make some sweet “vintage look” earrings.

 

Now I know, I must read the label on my clays before use =p

New Earrings =0)

I get bored really fast!! How about you?
I think this is why I always look for new things. New things to buy, new things to do, to make
And of course new places to travel =0) (ohhh ….” if I was a rich man …”)

The earrings making are new thing for me – so I am very pleased to do something new!!
I tend not to make two of the same kind .
I have listed some of it at my Etsy shop, hope you would give me a visit there =0).
This was from the first kiln, now I have porcelain drying and planned to be made with 12 karat gold and Platinum (white gold).
Hope you like it.

Much love

Golden rings

I usually don’t make jewelry, I rather buy it, or get it as gifts =0)

This time I was trying to find another way to recycle clay leftover,

And decided to give rings a try.

I added clear glaze and 12karat gold luster.

The results are rough but I like it so far. Maybe next time I will make it more delicate and gentle.

I am going to my Arts and Crafts forum meeting in the morning. I know we are going to have super great time!

Now I have to get all my presents ready and rap it all =0)

Much love

Something for Christmas

Since I have moved back to Israel , and even though I am not Christian, I do miss Christmas. This beautiful holiday, and how everything around looks so fancy and the feeling of the holiday atmosphere and spirit in it… so I have decided to make something small to my friends that do celebrate this wonderful holiday.

Golden apples Christmas ornaments. Made with love with white clay, clear glaze and of course 12k gold laster to add some richness to it.

Hope they’ll love it!!

Gold Again

Usually I will not add 12k gold to terracotta clay, but since I got little obsessed with this material I have decided to give it a try. I am pleased with the result of this one Apple, hope you’d like it too.
