Porcelain tealights

I recently made some small porcelain tealights, glazed them in a very pale cream glaze and then added decals made from my free machine embroidery.
I'm quite pleased with how they've come out.

Springtime in the garden
It's this time of year that we start to think about our gardens a bit more - well we would do if it was warm enough!  With this in mind, I have had a play with some earthenware clay and made some plant and seed labels with an impressed image of a plant at one end.  A pencil can be used to write the name of the plant or seed and then rubbed off again making them endlessly reusable!
  





I've also made a handy string holder to match.

Both of these items will soon be on sale at 3 Wishes Florist

First Commission !

A friend of mine saw my porcelain buttons and asked me to make some hearts without the holes and glaze for her daughter's wedding in August.  She is going to attach them to either end of ribbon around glass vases filled with flowers at her reception.  It's a lovely idea and I will post another photo of them in situ.
