We might have something to blog about in a week and a half...

I really do apologize for the lack of posts lately. But really, there has been absolutely nothing happening. We went on vacation, but that's about it. Nothing with the house.

The HumCo Planning Commission Meeting is on Sept. 6. That's when we'll find out if we have are able to split the lot or not.

I'll post for sure late next week...

I've been busy.



I made these tiles in my class at the Fire Arts Center. I went a little above and beyond expectations, but I have a vision for our house.

The koi, lily pad and lotus flower tiles will be installed on the walls of the walk-in shower in the master bath, with small mosaic tile around them to look like water.
The small rose tile will be used as accent tiles somewhere... probably on the backsplash in the kitchen.

I've made a lot of other tiles, but I really don't know yet how I'm going to use them. The style of the other tiles varies SO much; I just wanted to see how certain glazes would act on certain clays and to test out different techniques.

It's been fun, but it's not over yet... several more weeks of class (round #2) to go!
