I think it's because my Mum is a potter, so I've been surrounded by clay since I was a child. I love the range of colours and textures that can be achieved by ceramic techniques.

I'm using the local clay from the Artesian basin mud springs.

Claire - ALL of these are just wonderful - so many different styles evoke so many different moods!<br /><br />I'm first & foremost a natural, earthy, rustic gal, so I love all things out of the ground (clay, metals, gemstones, etc.) I also love glass & enamel - they actually start out in the ground, too! Ha! I'd rather have a diamond right out of the ground than a shiny, faceted one. I'd rather have rusty, patinated, "trip-weary" than glossy, polished.<br /><br />The same goes for things from the sea: pearls, shells, metals, sea glass - I love them all, but want all the lumps, bumps, & scratches (which to me represent the "mystery of the source/journey").<br /><br />I'd be thrilled to win ANY mystery batch from you, for sure - THANK YOU for this giveaway!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299833742255215708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-29157673831703949262015-02-21T14:08:30.558-05:002015-02-21T14:08:30.558-05:00I like lampwork, to look at and sometimes to inco...I like lampwork, to look at and sometimes to incorporate in my jewellery - I dabble a bit in polymer clay myself - and I LOVE ceramic beads - their rustic-ness, them hardly ever being quite alike - like they have a mind of their own - and although I know of a fair few makers now, you all each have your own style.
