This blog started with small daily paintings then changed to a more personal sharing of projects, events and photos. Enjoy!

Pots in the Making

I finished this series of eucalyptus pots last night--I should have been putting my granddaughter to bed, but instead I had to play with my pots--I felt compelled to stack them for a photo shoot.
Here's a few pictures of them being made...

Sanded, painted with holes drilled...

Lids attached, toothpicks whittled and the flat beads drilled...

Pine sap collected--a sticky job...

A fresh batch of pine sap, beeswax, and crushed charcoal, to glue the toothpick inside the pots and on the ends of the beads--another sticky and dirty job...

Strings attached with small beads for closing...


My type of fun!
