Ceramic projects from class

Displayed below are images of ceramic projects I completed this semester in Beginning Ceramics. I am very excited about each one.  Please enjoy. Let me know what you think? 

Crochet Koozies

 I think this one looks like a Grumpy Koozie.

Marker Can

It used to hold food. Now it holds my supplies! 

Hi Crafters!
It's December!!.. I'm off track from work... I'm home ....and have lots of time to keep my self busy crafting.
This month I have been working on turning food cans into functional art cans. They have been of great use so far for holding markers, scissors, pens, hair clips, jewelry, etc. But can be used to hold other things

 Using a clean empty food can I used Glitter Mod Podge, tissue paper, ribbon, and a hot glue gun to create.
I glued down the tissue paper around the can using the Mod Podge.  Let it Dry. The blue and green color is the tissue paper.  You will notice a difference in the color and texture of the tissue paper react to the Mod Podge, it will become stiff.  I painted on yellow and orange flowers with acrylic paint. Let it Dry. Glued down the ribbon with the Mode Podge, wrapping it completely around the can. Added another layer of Mod Podge around the entire can and  Let it Dry.  And finally used a hot glue gun to attache the bow. And, tada!

Note: Make sure to wrap the tissue paper around the top inner lid and seal it down really well with the Mod Podge, it can be sharp if left uncovered. Or you can hot glue some felt around the inside too.

Late Night Crochet Session

From left to right: Left corner: My practice crochet, that is yet to be. I learned how to use some techniques from the book Stitch and Bitch, The Happy Hooker. Right corner: A crochet koozie, with a grumpy expression. Front center: A new beanie, in progress!

Happy Crocheting!!
-&Cheers!!

Grave Yard

Creepy cute grave yard. Made from recycled house items. The tree is made from a brown bag, Mod Podge'd together. The grave stones are felt on one side and pieces of a granola box on the other, the box helps them stand tall. The fencing is also made from the same granola box. And, the foundation is made from an empty CD case painted black. All items were hot glue gunned down for stability.

Make your own! It really only took a couple hours, and that's because I had to wait for the paint to dry.  All I want now is a tiny ceramic ghost to float through. =)

Felt Pumpkin Table Topper #2

 I had a great time putting this one together. I had originally planned on putting 3 pumpkins. But by the time they were stuffed they were huge and only 2 managed to fit together. This one will sit at home on the coffee table.

Pumpkin Garden Table Topper

Using an old CD case for the base. I hot glued down the felt pumpkins I made earlier in the month and attached 3 fake flowers I painted black earlier this evening. Outlined it all in glitter and Voila! I love it. I'm gonna take it to work with me tomorrow and let it sit on my desk for a few days.
