Time travel
Jun. 11th, 2020 10:48 amI spent much of yesterday trying to find room in my pottery shed to store the booth display pieces I wouldn't be using in the post-pandemic booth set-up. In the process, I 1. threw away a lot of junk, 2. recycled a lot of cardboard scrap, and 3. went through boxes of really old pottery and tile.
Some of the "treasures" I found:
Retired bank patterns: blue whale, orca, beaver, bear; the last of a limited run of Halloween items; and a rather sweet elephant tea set, with baby elephant cream and sugar holders, and a reed handle that will need a serious amount of steaming to make it fit.
Some "face pots" I made at the UO Craft Center, well over 20 years ago.
A whole bunch of taper/candle holders I used to make and try to sell cheap, mostly because I could fit a zillion of them between bigger pots in the kiln. They've got scraps of stained glass melted into the well around the center post, blues and greens mostly. Also, a couple of the "bigger" pots themselves, a couple of jars between 18 and 24" high.
And a bunch of painted tile art: wall mounted paintings in the 4-6" range, and tiny pins and broaches, about an inch square. I kinda like the sunflower one. I may have to keep it for myself.
