Happy Valentine's Day--much love to everyone! I honestly can not believe how fast time is flying by. My studio had a very busy 2012 holiday season where I spent my most all of my time creating custom mug orders. Still working on the ones that came in late December and January. I think I'll enclose a few pictures here, I try to get some pictures out of every batch out of the kiln if possible.<br />

Hey, I've been thrilled with glaze mixing results lately! My new favorite is the agate glaze with two other (unnamed) glazed where the kiln alchemy turns them into gold. LOL...for me they are gold. I'm so excited about these colors because they represent EARTH, WOODS and SKY. I'm thinking of calling this glaze combo "Ohio Woods," how does that sound? <br />

Oh my goodness! Where has this year gone? WOW! It's flown by and now I find myself mid-way through August already. Teachers and students are getting ready to go 'back to school' this week and its been pretty busy in our store. I've been busy in the studio too, working on a wholesale order and lots of custom orders this summer. Below are mugs in the process of being glazed for my wholesale order.<br />

Also creating more ceramic travel mugs and I just ordered more lids! After

my shop so they'll be 'ready to ship.<br />

Also created a new themed mug in Honor of Mother Earth and all that she's going through with our planetary ascension. It's called "Love Our Mother." Hope to get more of these made too! This was my prototype. I designed the logo and had a stamp made. <br />

Today is actually the new Lunar Year, the Chinese New Year--Year of the Dragon and the New Moon! That's a whole heck of alot of NEW energy flowing in today! Well, I say bring it on! Imagine what we want to create in our lives and Imagine the NEW WORLD that we want to live in! I'm personally very psyched for 2012. It's the ending of one cycle and the beginning of another. And, if enough of us carry the LOVE vibration we can raise our frequency high enough to carry all of us into the New Golden Age. Today is also the official jump start of the Age of Aquarius! Finally! Don't know about you all; but I've been waiting eons for this show to start and we have the front row seat. Or the back stage pass, whichever you prefer. Lightworkers, Rainbow Warriors, Peace Keepers, Light Bearers, Star Seeds I'm talking about YOU!<br />
<br />
It thrills me to no end to see the positive changes taking place in our world right NOW. Occupy Wall St. or where-ever is one such example. People speaking up, taking a stand for what they believe in. Indigo Kids raising money to help their brothers and sisters in Africa get their own wells for clean water is another. The rise of Volunteerism in our country; people helping others without looking for compensation. I'm talking about people volunteering at the local Food Co-Op, Tutoring Students, helping out at Habit For Humanity or the Red Cross; among thousands of other amazing causes! <br />
<br />

For the better!! Look around. Maybe it's because we've just experienced a crazy few years of the world's economic system collapsing, including Wall Street bailouts while home-owners across the country lost their homes and/or jobs; add a healthy dose of earthquakes, tsunami's and other natural disasters--and you just can't take things for granted anymore. We appreciate each other, our jobs, our homes, our local communities and our global communities we've created on the internet. We want to re-use and recycle old items and turn them into something beautiful! Artists do this everyday. Communities are doing this on FreeCycle.org. Why throw out something that someone else can use? Keep the landfills empty and help out your neighbor!<br />

Those of us who interact on the net have friends all over the world. We communicate on FB and share videos on YouTube. We have the same needs and concerns. We all want to be loved and live a happy life. No enemies here. Different viewpoints, yes. But the same would just be boring, yes? A variety of cultural flavors and colors makes our global human family rich, diverse and beautiful!<br />
<br />
<b>Let your light SHINE! </b> We are all here for a reason, we all have something unique to share. We each have something special to add to the whole. Live from your heart and the New World will be born within us first, then will manifest all around us!

</tbody></table>Hello! I've been having lots of fun lately creating ceramic jewelry. I hand form small circles and squares to create ceramic charms and then turn them into earrings and/or pendants. Since I'm a big collector of artisan jewelry, this is thrilling for me! Some pieces are stamped for texture while others are adorned with peace symbol or crop circle decals, then fired again to burn the iron oxide into the piece. Most of the ear wires that I'm using are purchased from another Etsy artist who specializes in metal. I love her creations! So, these earrings are a collaboration. I love the oxidized look, whether it's copper or silver. If you haven't checked out my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CropCircleClay">CropCircleClay</a> shop recently, please do!!<br />

<b>Introduction</b>: In November of 2009, I went on a solitary pilgrimage to visit the Great Serpent Mound in Peebles, Ohio USA. I felt a calling to connect to Mother Earth there, to sit and meditate and to bring some healing energies into this Sacred Place. It's only about a 2 hour drive from my home, so I picked a beautiful Autumn day and took the drive. I had a wonderful visit to the sacred site and felt very peaceful for days afterwards! I knew that it was part of my Mission to do this and it felt very good! I wrote about my experiences in my Angel Journal where I meditate and do 'automatic writings' when I connect to Spirit. A week or so later, I had an idea to communicate with the Keeper of the Serpent Mounds. I believe there are Spiritual Guardians over sacred sites all over Mother Earth. They guard and protect the sites from dark energy. So, I made the intent to connect to the Keeper of the Serpent Mounds and I received a wonderful love filled message from a being called Tekmut. The first message is below. (Note that I wasn't sure if I got a particular spelling correct, which is why I put a ?? after the word).<br />

<b>Tekmut – Keeper Guardian of Serpent Mound in Peebles, Ohio</b><br />
"Dear Diana, yes you are right, you have the right to know these things and since your heart is true I will share them with you. For you see, I am Tekmut and I am the Guardian of this place that you call Serpent Mound. I have been here for thousands of your years and even more than you know about. A Promise was made from the highest realms that if a true heart such as yours was to seek out my gifts that I would share them with that soul. Seems like to day is that day and I have a special gift for you, for you are the true heart that has asked for my gifts.<br />
<br />
A special star was chosen to signify my return upon this plane and it has been called Zeleb(?) by your people. This star has come to a full return now and can be seen in your skies. Listen dear heart, for your heart is pure and I will share my story with you. The ancient ones saw this star and knew that it was prophetic, for the power of this star would help to bring about the great change that they saw for mankind. Mind you, this was thousands of years ago and their Seers were very powerful. Yes, they were correct. They built my structure to align with this great star and knew that when the star would return that my heart chakra would align with this star and be the trigger for the Ascension as you call it. Of course, there are many other triggers in place but there needs to be a number of them occur at the same time for the act to occur, do you see? I have been waiting for millennia for a true heart to share my story with."<br />

</tbody></table><u>Tekmut continues:</u><b> </b>"The design of my earth mounds are very sacred and can be seen as a connection between heaven and earth. For you see, the snake is not eating the egg, but rebirthing it, or coughing it up. This is an ancient symbol of <span class=" fbUnderline">resurrection </span>as you call it. <u>Rebirth, Transformation, Renewal.</u> This symbology was popular and widely known at the time of my creation. And it refers not only to Mother Earth but to all of humanity as well. Everything is going through a transformation right now, including the solar system as you know it. <br />

Yes, so in summary, I am connected to this star, Zeleb(?) and when it appears again the time is ripe for humanity to rebirth itself. For Earth to rebirth herself. And dear heart, that time is now. It is not a coincidence that you are here now and connecting with me, do you see? This was a vital part of your current lifetime and one of the many reasons you came here (Ohio). You wanted to be here now in this lifetime to help with this event in any manner that you could. The mere presence of your human body with your true heart and soul helps me to connect with my star again. Your energy is encoded with the frequencies of light that I need. <u>Indeed, many Lightworkers also feel this and come to visit me to impart their energies too</u>. I am truly grateful for this and that is another reason why I am sharing my gift with you.<br />
<br />
How did the ancients know all of this? Well, as I told you, they had very powerful Seers and they also had other assistance from your Starry family. The Pleaidian Light Beings also helped them and you were also a part of that team. Things are indeed all connected, dear heart and you are learning this well. The Pleiadians connected to the enlightened one of this tribe and explained to her the reasons for my creation. The tribal leaders agreed that my creation should be done for they believed the Seer and her visions. They also felt the power of my spot before I was created here. The ancients were very connected with the earth, they felt the power spots and revered them."<br />

<b>Aug. 29, 2010.</b>..This morning I just learned that a <a href="http://www.star-knowledge.net/"><span class=" fbUnderline"><b>Star Knowledge Conference</b> </span></a>is going to be held at Serpent Mound on 11-11-10 this year! I am very excited and hope to attend! This news made me think again of Tekmut and I wanted to connect with this wonderful Spiritual Guardian again. Here's the second message which I received from Tekmut. Also, I was concerned because I wasn't sure if I spelled the star's name correctly, so I asked for clarification on this. (Note added 1-30-11: I didn't get to attend the Star Knowledge Conference because of an illness in our family).<br />

<b>Tekmut – Keeper Guardian of Serpent Mound in Peebles, Ohio</b><br />
"Listen dear heart for it is I, Tekmut whom you have asked for. I am here with you now even though I am also watching over my sacred grounds at what you call the Serpent Mounds. Yes, many native peoples come to my resting place and observe the sacred passing of time at the events you call the equinoxes and solstices. I do not know of this thing you call the Star Knowledge Conference, but I am aware of many native peoples from many tribes who come to visit my mounds. Their energy is loved and appreciated by me and Mother Earth. For yes, this is indeed a sacred spot and I am blessed to be the one chosen to keep it sacred and protected these many millennia.<br />
<br />
I am honored also that you wish to speak with me again, dear heart. For yes, I remember you well. You are pure of heart and soul. Your mission is a great one which will benefit many and we are quite a good team. My mission has been to assist Mother Earth also and to help her through her changes for many millennia. She has grown and changed and stretched her muscles when needed. She is ready now to give birth to a new form and that form will be a pristine new version of herself. In order to do this, she must shake and quake and shed some of her layers, this will purify many of the surface areas of her body. Many of your people will be lost but many will also be saved. This process is necessary for her to complete her cycle. She does not do it to harm anyone, but only to progress. It is a part of the natural order of things. You and those like you have come here in order to assist her in making her changes go as smoothly as possible. Your job is to bring in energy for her to make this transition as easy as she can. The more work you and your kind (i.e. Lightworkers) do to help, the better off you will all be. This is easy on your part, you must continue to focus healing energy and love to her. She needs this very much. She is a living Being, but only a different form than you currently inhabit. We are ONE and we are here to help.<br />
<br />
As I told you before, I am built on sacred energy portals that the native peoples sensed many, many millennia ago. I (the Serpent Mounds) are part of her re-birthing process and am directly connected to the star Keleb in your skies. Do not worry if the name has changed or is not correct. This star was named so in my time and I am not aware of what your people call it today. My alignment points straight to this star which is really a planet which you may know as Niribu. Yes, I see that this name is familiar to you. This is a planet which sits on a very wide or large orbit and only comes by Earth on very rare occasions. It has been so far away for millennia and is now on its return path to Earth. I was built by the native peoples to mark Niribu's return and to announce when the rebirth of Mother Earth would take place. So, you see, dear heart, this time is fast approaching and this is why you and your kind, the Starseeds or LightBearers must also do your part! "<br />

<u>Tekmut continues:</u> "FOCUS, FOCUS on sending love and light from your hearts and home planets to Mother Earth! Bring in that Galactic Energy and Universal Love Light to fill up Mother Earth so that she can make her transition smoothly. For a smooth transition will benefit all of mankind! We know that you know this to be true. Continue to visualize clean, clear water and glorious landscapes and vistas for Mother Earth. Fresh clean waters for the ocean life and deep blue skies and green lush forests and jungles. Your peoples are beginning to see how they are connected to her and are starting to see how to live in harmony with her. Of course, there are still many who do not care and those will pass away. All is connected and One and this is the future. This living in harmony with all beings will be your new future and the future of those who act as caretakers of Mother Earth. See the future that you desire and you will all create it so! This is what you came here for, and what those of like spirit came here to do. Your intent is powerful and those like you must join forces to envision the New Earth that you all desire.<br />
<br />
I am here to tell my story, dear heart, so that you may share it with others. The native peoples of this land were great Seers and they knew that this time would come. Their visions told them so and they created my mounds with great love in their hearts for your generation. They imbued within me their strength and hope and love. For they loved Mother Earth and were great caretakers of her. They loved and respected her and have passed this love down through me. I am here to communicate and share this love with you and your kind. Please share my words and allow the love of other like-minded souls to hear my words. I am Tekmut and I am the Keeper of the Sacred Serpent Mound. May your journey bring you joy and enlightenment."<br />

<b>Footnote from Diana:</b> Because of my wonderful love-filled experience connecting with this very powerful sacred site, I encourage all Lightworkers to honor your instincts when you receive a spiritual nudge to visit a sacred site! It appears that it's not only good for our own well-being, but just being there and sending our love and energy also greatly aides Mother Earth and the site itself. If you cannot make the trek in person I would suggest looking at a photograph and meditating on it.

Maybe it's the season....cold, dark winter and lots of snow; but I'm ready to dig my hands in the clay and make some teapots. Pot 'o tea, anyone? Earl Gray is my favorite tea, how about you? As any potter will tell you, the teapot is one of the most difficult pots to make because of all the components that must fit together and work in unison. Honestly, I'm a bit fearful of lids. They have to fit exactly and I'm so not an exact type person!! I need lots of practice on making lids. Spouts and handles are fun for me! OK, to pump myself up for the challenge, I've been searching online for fun ideas. I thought I'd share a few of my favorites with you. They're all from ETSY SHOPS, of course! Enjoy and <b><u>buy</u></b> if you're tempted!! <i>Amazing artists, every one!</i><br />

And they're full! The kitchen cupboard is also over-flowing with my ceramic mugs. I LOVE to buy one mug from each potter that I adore. They are a wonderful reminder of that artist's personal style. As you can see from my picks below, I like bright, cheery mugs! These artists all sell their creations on Etsy and I wish that I could buy them all! Click on link under each picture to go directly to their shops! Each of these mugs is for sale! Please buy handmade, support your local potters. Mugs make the perfect gift, don't you think?<br />

During that time, I believe I was serving as a Priestess in a Temple, Isis's temple to be exact. Many of my present <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">da</span>y Soul Sisters of the Light were there with me at that time. There is a deep instant knowing when we connect again in this lifetime and I'm so grateful for these connections!<br />
<br />
Then came destruction and persecution for our beliefs. Many of us vowed to unite again when the Divine Feminine would return to the world. Centuries of testosterone based battles raged across the globe while the masculine ruled the Earth. Now, the Divine Feminine has returned in the form of many of US. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is a tribute to the feminine Spiritual Warriors who have returned in body to be of service to all humans on Mother Earth at this time. Through their selfless efforts, they have inspired an awakening of consciousness and worked diligently to assist in the Ascension to come. I'd like to express an abundance of blessings and deep gratitude for the dedicated service that these women have gifted to all of us!<br />
<br />
<b>AN ENORMOUS THANK YOU</b><b> TO THESE FEMALE SPIRITUAL WARRIORS OF THE LIGHT...!!</b><br />

I listed them on Etsy over the weekend and sold 1 mug already. Woo hoo! With the exception of the 3 mugs, these pots were all hand-built. I've really been feeling like creating organic "flowing" wonky wabi-sabi type pots lately. I also added texture to the bottom of these pots with my stamps so when you hold them in your hands they feel fantastic! </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #783f04;"><br />

Clear blue sky, white puffy clouds and a chill in the air. After a week of early mid 70's temps, we had a thunderstorm and now we're back to around 50 degrees. Oh, well! At least we had a fabulous warm Easter and our early flowers are up and blooming. I've got both daffodils and tulips up and after the warm Easter weekend, all of the blooming trees popped! I was outside taking pictures of my pottery and I couldn't help but take pictures of our gorgeous red bud tree! With the deep blue sky and bright green grass as a background, I focused tight in on the buds. WOW! Love that pink!! It's so invigorating after the Winter Slumber that I felt in January. Mother Earth has come alive! I'm even hearing some new bird songs that I never heard before.

For those who aren't for all intents and purposes obsessed with creating with clay, you might not realize all the agonizing decisions that we potters have to make. We are blessed to live in this time where there are literally thousands of glazes to chose from--especially those of us who buy commercial glazes! But, every glaze looks different fired on various clays and in different kilns. A glaze will even look different on pots within the same kiln! So, glaze testing is an on-going process for potters. Here are some pictures of some of my recent tests.<br />

This is disaster for some glazes, and I have to know what this will do to my glazes and my precious pots!! It's such a heartbreak to be happy with a pot and then have it ruined in the glaze fire!Dancing Dolphin Pottery Studio - Home of Crop Circle Clay - Ceramic Creations by Diana Brower in Ohio USAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09462529797224107324noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1940634714409860548.post-88012845072053290702010-03-16T21:56:00.000-04:002010-03-16T21:56:37.247-04:00Crop Circle Clay comes in with Springtime<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOJ4et2w3AwwqWN7GzfnIuvFZw7fOyA_NjRo7IVT7R99Q-wfY7mJOnMfIsn_6uqKw46akVafAXE8gE8N5FdwvEXiCBTe81GSA79CORoFkWXZIoKSyPepabt-KjyAAfVwyrgdyOhPEn4jM/s1600-h/CropCircleClay-purple+mug2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOJ4et2w3AwwqWN7GzfnIuvFZw7fOyA_NjRo7IVT7R99Q-wfY7mJOnMfIsn_6uqKw46akVafAXE8gE8N5FdwvEXiCBTe81GSA79CORoFkWXZIoKSyPepabt-KjyAAfVwyrgdyOhPEn4jM/s320/CropCircleClay-purple+mug2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1GmPDgGhfXemeuOhu3SLvStNPRsIiAvsRmnAJQWS4xEKW1bc6N8Zt2ployENKH8m_VOd9U07Dy_wEhSy7-FDLldFI9Y95bh7uluTHlqDbxWQyiRSMja0CU6Qh1O2_oQBUUklppdJzkZQW/s1600-h/CropCircleClay-earthy+mug+group.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1GmPDgGhfXemeuOhu3SLvStNPRsIiAvsRmnAJQWS4xEKW1bc6N8Zt2ployENKH8m_VOd9U07Dy_wEhSy7-FDLldFI9Y95bh7uluTHlqDbxWQyiRSMja0CU6Qh1O2_oQBUUklppdJzkZQW/s320/CropCircleClay-earthy+mug+group.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMmjUGrSHi4o19_HS3akD-GhsSBnMxwbBGYEpFEa4guC9MDAIYstZ-eaXd7Hu2W7sYkE24V9U8Fs3DZJrAk3koSsD8zm6Sr9AJwlldAjRHtAisReCiH-f8iUcBGRE4D6gcZ1IU7dqXEdIa/s1600-h/CropCircleClay+-+robinseggmug5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMmjUGrSHi4o19_HS3akD-GhsSBnMxwbBGYEpFEa4guC9MDAIYstZ-eaXd7Hu2W7sYkE24V9U8Fs3DZJrAk3koSsD8zm6Sr9AJwlldAjRHtAisReCiH-f8iUcBGRE4D6gcZ1IU7dqXEdIa/s320/CropCircleClay+-+robinseggmug5.jpg" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHMtJBzphTBT21BveqIRGD9dseQWaFJXy-EhkRwUtEw6zNvDId9Q6_nFEMCokuE7IXmZ4rmXa0fZEPANPPQRxLm0kLd5MLPecN1RsjlqphCAo4sZhevt9iDNS_cirCUNlG2Ac66y_-bQrH/s1600-h/CropCircleClay+-+trio+of+pots+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHMtJBzphTBT21BveqIRGD9dseQWaFJXy-EhkRwUtEw6zNvDId9Q6_nFEMCokuE7IXmZ4rmXa0fZEPANPPQRxLm0kLd5MLPecN1RsjlqphCAo4sZhevt9iDNS_cirCUNlG2Ac66y_-bQrH/s320/CropCircleClay+-+trio+of+pots+2.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Last Fall I had the inspiration to combine my love of crop circle patterns with my love of clay. The result is a new Etsy shop called "<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CropCircleClay">CropCircleClay</a>" The first batch of pots came of the kiln this past Sunday and I'd love to share a few of them with you! There are really "Earthy" ones with the green agate (matte) glaze with dark chocolate on the inside, robin's egg blue/green glossy with light browns on the inside, and lilac and grape! In the future, I'd like to have a glaze palette set so that I'd have some blues, greens, purples and browns. This isn't as easy as it sounds because of working with the laser decals that create the crop circle patterns. Each pot gets fired 3x and from the last high fire to the low fire for the decals, many great glazes go funky--especially on my dark brown clay. So, I've been doing lots of test tiles in the last few months! Please keep tuned to my new Etsy Shop and I'll add more as I go!

I feel myself falling into a deep winter slumber. The short days and cold nights make me want to stay inside curled up in a ball, only to waken for batches of homemade hot chocolate and stew. Weatherman is saying we'll have another layer of snowfall overnight. The country is in a cold freeze, we're all going through this together, even those in "sunny" Florida. <span style="font-style: italic;">This is a picture that I took on the farm, it's the moon rising over the frozen field.</span></span><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>Dancing Dolphin Pottery Studio - Home of Crop Circle Clay - Ceramic Creations by Diana Brower in Ohio USAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09462529797224107324noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1940634714409860548.post-75316153016549568062009-11-24T18:57:00.014-05:002010-01-07T18:20:21.896-05:00Mother Nature Inspires Me<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv29h_rf9Bl_PVzFb7qMMrrdaoyUtITHEVXcWfK9chxrH66ZUxjQMzQLsOAHJgjQZcdHCATNimDdIB15FUTocltI1iZP_1Kk0jhWlLJ0-2JgArpIU22_t1GXZ7K7snXRXvzHXv79X6wtPE/s1600/DancingDolphinPotteryOhio-Falling+Leaves+Casserole.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407826956306146434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv29h_rf9Bl_PVzFb7qMMrrdaoyUtITHEVXcWfK9chxrH66ZUxjQMzQLsOAHJgjQZcdHCATNimDdIB15FUTocltI1iZP_1Kk0jhWlLJ0-2JgArpIU22_t1GXZ7K7snXRXvzHXv79X6wtPE/s320/DancingDolphinPotteryOhio-Falling+Leaves+Casserole.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 277px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /></a><span style="color: #330000;">I love Fall Harvest time in Ohio! There is a distinct scent in the air; it's dry leaves, campfires and crops being harvested all rolled into one. Deep blue skies and beautiful bright leaves! Leaves are one of my favorite things to study up close and personal. I'll have to get a microscope because I'm really fascinated by leaves. They're not all exactly the same at all. Even if you get them from the same tree--they can be different variations on a theme; and I think that's really cool.</span><span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: #330000;">I gather as many leaf specimens as I can so that I can use them in my pottery. They come from our yard and downtown Troy near our store. Where-ever I am and happen to see some nice leaves, I pick them up!</span><span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: #330000;">It's so exciting to see the clay pick up the veins and texture of the leaves! Then comes the challenge of glazing them!! I like to use a black underglaze first, to highlight the veins; brush on then wipe off with a sponge! Then I layer various other glazes on top; yellows, browns, oranges and reds. It's always thrilling to open up the kiln to see what you get!</span>Dancing Dolphin Pottery Studio - Home of Crop Circle Clay - Ceramic Creations by Diana Brower in Ohio USAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09462529797224107324noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1940634714409860548.post-26908756748132378302009-10-28T07:41:00.003-04:002009-10-28T07:45:34.773-04:00New Mugs!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp7y0DYV6Hqbw43L3XGdv0qF-dck7QITA5qAxiEXml-wCE71oHgDnF8SF6XJA1_mPjnAuiKFFjjUbDWmLp_UMCCOxW5E5pDEhjL5McHE8FUHJSukVwNljHFghYoKyAY31KXxIrvwZ4u5DV/s1600-h/DDP-Spiral+flourish+mug+B-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp7y0DYV6Hqbw43L3XGdv0qF-dck7QITA5qAxiEXml-wCE71oHgDnF8SF6XJA1_mPjnAuiKFFjjUbDWmLp_UMCCOxW5E5pDEhjL5McHE8FUHJSukVwNljHFghYoKyAY31KXxIrvwZ4u5DV/s320/DDP-Spiral+flourish+mug+B-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397615317779552402" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDPdl86_0A5I68aILnkDCySjNtgPDXomiW3JBeH5zXxxUPE34kUMxe5CKFiZ_-4FylwgRDWkKwx8ifshfFG3zJXLDsls1Jxersev7v2y1fZAgxNM1SiNSv8EBWgR9QodNM6m96kYKgmjD/s1600-h/DDP-Spiral+flourish+mug+A-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDPdl86_0A5I68aILnkDCySjNtgPDXomiW3JBeH5zXxxUPE34kUMxe5CKFiZ_-4FylwgRDWkKwx8ifshfFG3zJXLDsls1Jxersev7v2y1fZAgxNM1SiNSv8EBWgR9QodNM6m96kYKgmjD/s320/DDP-Spiral+flourish+mug+A-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397615314321724370" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCxGoc-_LYUrosX5FR48_6AFTWq21yUrZ9z8qnp4naERVIRfW4apyJfADpHq4mOzVt4zpUeWzqRi7DW4L5sY4b8iQPSxh5pYlImzdZcI4_Bd5r4LKSMGZn5sp2UyFuGhtQMv63JjW2GPCU/s1600-h/DDP-Crop+Circle+Mug+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 313px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCxGoc-_LYUrosX5FR48_6AFTWq21yUrZ9z8qnp4naERVIRfW4apyJfADpHq4mOzVt4zpUeWzqRi7DW4L5sY4b8iQPSxh5pYlImzdZcI4_Bd5r4LKSMGZn5sp2UyFuGhtQMv63JjW2GPCU/s320/DDP-Crop+Circle+Mug+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397615308503541490" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPnv7wVi78oP31M8Nz7dxeZYp22LgWK2ktTV0iJQkL51-dWLjSPacH-q3nI5NyVPvxW137ZORz2cHsHc4igSXWabHfe9vRw_CvA0-dV63ELVJD3myT0jkVhdcgf9XCWHfTZ0mjKAKdOP3H/s1600-h/DDP-trio+of+new+mugs+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 251px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPnv7wVi78oP31M8Nz7dxeZYp22LgWK2ktTV0iJQkL51-dWLjSPacH-q3nI5NyVPvxW137ZORz2cHsHc4igSXWabHfe9vRw_CvA0-dV63ELVJD3myT0jkVhdcgf9XCWHfTZ0mjKAKdOP3H/s320/DDP-trio+of+new+mugs+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397615305873850898" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);">I've been playing with laser decals lately and here are my first results! I'm thrilled with how they turned out. The iron oxide in the toner burns into the glaze during a final low fire, so the designs are permanent. These 3 mugs are currently in my Etsy shop.

You know, like how people label eachother in order to put them in a nice, neat category. "She's the wild one" or "he's a nerd." I can see this clearly living in a medium sized town where many people know one another, sometimes for their whole lives. This makes me crazy. None of us are good or bad or funny or angry all the time. There is no black or white, life is gray. Growing up, my sisters and I were taught to be "good girls." Meaning, be nice, don't show your anger because that's not good. I'm sure my parents had this behavior instilled into them too. But it's not good to hold things in all the time. You have to take off the mask and show yourself for who you are. Personally, I get tired of people thinking I'm so "nice" all the time. Sure, I have alot of empathy and I can't stand to see anyone (even a fly or ant) suffer; and I try to be pleasant to people when I can. But, I get angry and cranky and pissed off like everyone else! </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Then, of course you have your cultural labels, like "Americans are rude, Italians are dirty, French are wimps", etc. I don't even want to get into racial and regional labels. Why can we all accept eachother as we are? We're imperfect, all of us. We're connected and we're family. Please take off your masks and I'll try to do the same. It takes honesty and trust. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">We live pretty much like slobs, Terry and I. We both work full time, but find great joy in our creative passions. So, when we have free time we like to go to our studios and create. We don't really cook, clean, weed, dust, or do laundry until we have to. We're also "allowed' to be "selfish" because we don't have kids, so we are able to focus on what makes us happy instead of raising children. In a perfect world we'd be able to spend all of our time creating our passions and have a housekeeper, cook and gardener to do the rest. But, we don't and I have plenty of guilt because I can't do it all (Terry doesn't). I laugh to myself when I see all of our neighbors tending their lawns and flower beds while Terry and I have weeds growing through our gravel driveway and we're both in the studio. What can I say? Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sink full of dirty dishes, but I'm off to my studio.

I was overwhelmed by the heat, even though I knew it would be very hot. My northern body just does NOT do well in extreme heat. Anyway, the beauty of the ocean and the tropical plant life really struck me. Suddenly, I could see how artists naturally take in their environment and incorporate it into their art without even realizing it. I wanted to sculpt the trunks of a particular palm tree by the time I left! I am looking forward to returning in the winter!

If you've been watching the progression of some of my new pots, I first mentioned two large coil & pebble pots after they were bisqued fired, and then as I was glazing them with black underglaze to bring out the stamps and the textures. Well, here they are glazed! Each one was layered with many different underglaze & glaze colors, then wiped off with a wet sponge to give them a weathered look. There's something elemental about these pots, I can't keep my hands off them--tee hee!! The pebbles make you just want to touch them for some reason. They're both listed in my Etsy shop and in our store in Troy.

I just came in from my studio and thought I might share a couple of pictures. I've got 2 new coil & pebble pots that I bisque fired last weekend, so they're ready for glazing.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);">I've decided to cover them in black underglaze first, then layer other colors on top of the black; continually wiping off the glaze with a sponge. I want them to have a real "whitewash" or watercolor type of effect.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);">Here's the first stage...just put on the black tonight. I'm posting a "before" and "after" shot so you can see how much it helps bring out the stamps and the textures. (Nice towel, huh? Note to self, move towel next time! Actually there was a purpose for the towel, it was there to protect the bottom of that bowl from some black glaze on the wedging board). Too fun!!</span>Dancing Dolphin Pottery Studio - Home of Crop Circle Clay - Ceramic Creations by Diana Brower in Ohio USAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09462529797224107324noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1940634714409860548.post-2268139498006644852009-06-23T18:03:00.002-04:002009-06-23T18:08:45.153-04:00Lotus Zen Fountain IN ACTION!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXSpUm_ROUD_GEJ2aLX-KOingR4rc4QNiqKgmVTaKMzHB_T1FOlA_wq9-Tf6fZrcdD2Uu9yBsmjpKsG4gdMW8hDnG7T-22RHNZouJFM4x_j35_qdWoA8ConU-rW6M6CG9yViurKLsB347K/s1600-h/Dancing+Dolphin+Pottery+-+Lotus+Zen+2+for+website.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXSpUm_ROUD_GEJ2aLX-KOingR4rc4QNiqKgmVTaKMzHB_T1FOlA_wq9-Tf6fZrcdD2Uu9yBsmjpKsG4gdMW8hDnG7T-22RHNZouJFM4x_j35_qdWoA8ConU-rW6M6CG9yViurKLsB347K/s320/Dancing+Dolphin+Pottery+-+Lotus+Zen+2+for+website.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350648312381130450" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm8rJZ39n8iw8CTriTxpZIyiiAp2boeEjmjrbAtRvMOu4luInlHulamGXIkWGnnrCveGgAYzKXOB2bos7CiGTrscoj6ukgN4ubwygYreW_gcWJ_AojE-byRTVdb_lMJjSSyKcGCBKfbijV/s1600-h/Dancing+Dolphin+Pottery+-+Lotus+Zen+2+with+water-4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm8rJZ39n8iw8CTriTxpZIyiiAp2boeEjmjrbAtRvMOu4luInlHulamGXIkWGnnrCveGgAYzKXOB2bos7CiGTrscoj6ukgN4ubwygYreW_gcWJ_AojE-byRTVdb_lMJjSSyKcGCBKfbijV/s320/Dancing+Dolphin+Pottery+-+Lotus+Zen+2+with+water-4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350648313495635074" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Pmq4zkRLOXdl3lnWfqmoMtCvsfdxeuWZOMOCoQfKdNrNFBAeApSFZsPq88brkWiONQjpEI4YdvwHFsySplMwxJKHvkMV9C2rTXzfBGglV7rOW2ZL_mbQmFPqoFQAlLZKJIg6sj-5nPOr/s1600-h/Dancing+Dolphin+Pottery+-+Lotus+Zen+2+with+water2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Pmq4zkRLOXdl3lnWfqmoMtCvsfdxeuWZOMOCoQfKdNrNFBAeApSFZsPq88brkWiONQjpEI4YdvwHFsySplMwxJKHvkMV9C2rTXzfBGglV7rOW2ZL_mbQmFPqoFQAlLZKJIg6sj-5nPOr/s320/Dancing+Dolphin+Pottery+-+Lotus+Zen+2+with+water2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350648302585843058" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);">Before I packed up my Lotus Zen fountain to take to Troy-Hayner Cultural Center for the "Small Scultpures" exhibit, I just had to get some pictures of it with water! Oh, I'm in love! I used a wide plastic tube from the pump up to the "seed pod" and it makes the sweetest sounds of water bubbling up into the flower. I ran it for 2 hours to test, and it didn't splash! This is the best news!! </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);">Also, I love to take pictures of water in action. It's amazing. I love to see faces in the water. </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);">The Opening Reception for this exhibit is this Sunday, June 28th from 2-4 p.m. Then the exhibit will run through August.

I wasn't even worried he would damage it. </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);"><br /><br />Quee is our little black Lab, doesn't she look happy?

My first grouping of pebble & coil pots are finished! I love how they turned out and I hope that you do also. I'm having so much fun making these, and even the glazing is fun because it's more like painting than glazing. Here they are...thanks for looking! Oh, guess I should mention that I've got them listed on Etsy and they're in the shop window of Brower's if you'd like to see them in person.
