Hand Built Slab Clay Toad Abode Before Firing

I've been gardening a lot lately so I decided I wanted to make something in pottery that I could put in the yard. I actually broke the top swirl off so I had to fix that (the second one didn't come out as well). This photo was taken before I attached the three sections so they are sitting a little bit off.

Clay Slab Hand Built Pillow Box

I just started a new session of pottery after taking most of the winter off and. Our instructor suggested that we all try to make a pillow box. The boxes were created by starting with a square, marking the center of each side and joining the edges on either side of the mark to each other. Then this is repeated on the three other sides before a hole is cut in the top to make the box.

Blue and Pink Bubble Sewn Card Holder

This is the third card holder I've made from this pattern by 'The Crafty Cupboard'.  Its an easy pattern and its a great way to use up extra scraps.
