Krokbragd Weaving and Ceramic Poppies

Wednesday, August 19th, 2015

Our summer has been quite dry and all of our native grasses have turned into shades of gold, rust and cream with hints of their former green. My krokbragd weaving, summer corn and seafoam ceramic poppies capture what our Texas summer looks like!

You can purchase the ceramic poppies for a wall art collection in our Etsy shop here:Wolf Art Glass on Etsy.

My new pottery bird art pendants on Etsy! These are inspired by those funky 70’s articulated owl pendants that are once again all the rage. Will I make an owl pendant? Not sure, but I have a ton of other birds to make before I get there.

Central Texas Pottery Art Plate

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

This is the first plate that Dean has thrown and I had to inscribe all over it. I was trying for an antique-feeling botanical print look. Hard to shoot a bright photo since it is so pale. All of these are natives to central Texas.

Yellow Rumped Warbler Pottery Art Bird Sculpture

Friday, May 13th, 2011

These are the coolest little birds! The last time I went to the Mitchell Lake Audubon center, I saw tons of them flitting around us. I highly recommend a visit the next time you are in the San Antonio area on the weekend. Well worth the time to support a wonderful wildlife habitat.

I always refer to this odd little wire bird house as the “Blair-Witch house” – it reminds me of those weird little totems made of sticks hanging in the trees in the movie. He looks quite comfortable here.

Water Lilies and Snowdrops – Needlepoint and Pottery

Friday, May 13th, 2011

I have been working several flower designs in needlepoint and pottery. There is some kind of wonderful fascination in working the same design over and over again, especially in different mediums.

Snowdrops is a design inspired by a recent request by a local gal who is interested in my artwork as a tattoo. I am so honored that someone would want to adorn their body with my artwork, can’t wait to see what her tattoo artists comes up with!

Carolina Wren Nest Spring 2011 and Pottery Bird Sculpture

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

Every year a pair of Carolina Wrens nest on our patio. Over the course of several days and many scouting missions, they pick just the perfect spot, which this year is in our fox fern pot. The opening is only about 2 inches across and she has 6 speckled eggs in there!

Note this seasons choice of building materials, copious amounts of Live Oak pollen and a long blue bit of my yarn, cast off from some crochet or needlepoint endeavor.

Of course, I had to make a wren to honor the day, here she is just after being hand-formed. I need her to dry up before I start to carve her down and inscribe all the little feather details. Maybe tomorrow?

This is the first wren I made – so cute!

Ode to the Mexican Hat Wildflower

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011

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!
