I’ve been busy trying to fill my dearest mother’s pottery order. She made a request for a purse made with clay. I love making decorative purses and the people who buy them use them for plants or floral decorations or just plain decoration. I used to make purses quite a bid and never repeat a pattern. I like making one of a kind pieces and destroying my pattern when I’m finished. I have not made any purses in quite a while now but mom wanted one so here is my special design just for her.

She also made a request for a planter/box. She gave me the dimensions and I ran with the design and here is the box complete with handles and feet.

Both the purse and box are still in the wet stages and need to completely dry before the bisque firing. I can’t wait to add the glaze to see how they turn out. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
