Gone shopping

I do all my shopping online, even my groceries, now I'm trying to find some supplies but the page is not opening, maybe it's a sign saying Don't do it! but I really want those kiln bead racks, new glazes and professional brushes. Do you see? I'm not talking about shoes and make up.
By the way, I wonder why my updates here aren't going to my Facebook fan page hmmm I need to fix this issue soon.

The ugliest plaster molds

I'm not ashamed or frustrated, let's say I found it funny. I can't recall how many years of experience I have making plaster molds for my work, this time I just made the ugliest ever. Tomorrow they should be dry enough for their first run and I hope the bad corners won't give too much of  trouble. Why I made them like this? because of the lack of time between feedings. Motherhood is not easy, I'm lucky enough to have few minutes of peace to work. When you are rushing you tend to forget important steps of what your are making, like protecting the original piece from humidity and remembering to seal the corners well.

Another little job finished this weekend is my husband's website, take a look here the logo was my biggest challenge because I wasn't familiar with Adobe Illustrator but loved learning while making it.

Dear Blog I haven't forgotten you

It seems I'll posting every other month when used to be every other day! I definitely have a lot to share but my hands are always busy with something. I wish my words just type direct from my thoughts. We are still in 2010, maybe Apple will make an application someday LOL.
Art-wise I'm making some beads in glazed terra-cotta, maybe a big production will make me rich, or maybe not but at least my fingers are waking up from the carpal tunnel and my brain from a dormant stage.

This is my logo, finally decently made in Photoshop. I made it during class and now I'm working on my husband's for his web site and prints. You see? I haven't been totally inactive, just busy of being a mom.
