Introducing: Absolutely Terrible Nursery Prints
I’m working on a line of “Absolutely Terrible Nursery Prints” for the parent who needs a dose of humor. They are a little tongue-in-cheek, somewhat irreverent, and not your typical cutesie nursery prints.

Making a Bead Tree for the Kiln
My newest ceramic project has been making pendants using lace imprints. While I only glaze one side of star ornaments, pendants, I felt should be glazed all the way around. After all, whenever I wear jewelry, it always manages to flop around to the wrong side. Therefore, I needed bead tree, but after spending hours trying to find the most affordable option that also made sense for pendants, I came up empty. Amazon has two available — Small Bead Rack w…
