I've always loved creating things with my hands, so while I fiddle on my computer and iPhone, working on physical projects, gives me the most personal satisfaction. Back in 2007, I signed up for an Etsy account, very briefly trying to sell artwork. But with a 2 year old to take care of, there wasn't a lot of free time. Then, after a 10 year hiatus, I felt like now's the time to start creating again.

Recently, I found a product called Stone Clay, which is super easy to work with, and incredibly light weight. It allows me to store materials easily, and transport it all from my art closet to my work space, the dining room table. I was looking for a way to make something like concrete bowls, without the weight and mess involved. Boom! Stone Clay was the answer. Now as I move away from just bowls, I'm seeing a multitude of craft items that can be made. Recent pursuits include jewelry, air plant, & tea light holders, plus abstract acrylic paintings.

My hope is to offer something here that someone sees, and thinks, "I haven't seen anything like that before, it's affordable and I want it!"

Making these funky little jewelry bowl/catchalls has been a lot of fun. Drop me a line if you have an idea, either a certain color, initials added to the clay, material, or a quote, which i can add to the bottom or inside of a bowl. As always, have a wonderful day. - Vanessa
