Lately I have been working the Mexican Hat wildflower motif in clay and when I started looking back through photos for this post, I realized that I have been making Mexican Hats in some form or another for years now. Each year these amazing flowers bloom here at the house and they have apparently been more of an inspiration to my art than I had ever realized!
I have been drawing them…
I have been crocheting them…
I am working my Art Nouveau Water Lily design on multiple pieces and mediums. Here are some pics!
In the glaze kiln this evening are 2 Mexican Hat Wildflower pottery eggs and an adorable mouse sitting on a mushroom.
New pottery songbirds glazed and ready to fire! Here is the Yellow-Rumped Warbler, also known as the Butter-butt and 2 more Black-capped Chickadees. They are firing in the kiln right now – can’t wait to see them tomorrow when they are done!
#4 in my Pottery Song Bird series – here is the American Goldfinch – sold on WolfArtGlass on Etsy
He has his own recycled bottle pressed glass stand and can be easily removed or repositioned.
#3 in my Pottery Song Bird series – here is the Baltimore Oriole – for sale at WolfArtGlass on Etsy!
He comes with his own recycled bottle pressed glass stand and can be easily removed or repositioned.
Three new pottery songbirds made from hand formed earthenware clay. I LOVE making these birds! Each time I pull a new one out of the kiln I am inspired to make more.
#2 in my Pottery Song Bird Series – here is the Tufted Titmouse! He sold on Etsy within 24 hours of listing!
I drew this pretty Bearded Iris in pencil back when I was in high school. I have pulled the drawing out over the years and just never could seem to find the right way to use it. Finally I found its purpose! I love how the transparent larkspur purple-blue glaze allowed me to get this watercolor effect on the tile.
Here are the finished birds! I am so happy with them and they flew away to California the day after I listed them on Etsy. Yahoo!!
#1 in my Pottery Song Bird Series – here is the Black Capped Chickadee! He sold on Etsy within 24 hours of listing!
We have been working on pairings of our blown glass and crochet wildflowers – perfect for a wedding table, event table or kitchen table!
These are blown art glass Canteen Vases paired with posies of crochet Windflowers and Black Foot Daisies.
My first attempt at an embroidered butterfly pin!
I have been playing with mixed media and my crochet wildflowers by adding a needlepoint butterfly and some colored pencil Mexican Hats.
This Spring has been an amazing one for our wildflowers. Dean has been taking so many pictures and video that I was inspired to create these crochet versions of two of my favorites – the Mexican Hat and Greenthread. I have some other designs in the works!
