"Leap and the Net Will Appear" shows beautifully on this bracelet along with some lovely charms and gemstones.
I love the color and texture of these earrings. It really does look like someone is dancing on the moon. These are very beautiful one-of-a-kind earrings. Too cool!
Eight maids a-milking
As part of the 12 days of Christmas today I am featuring Victoria from LittleWrenPottery on etsy. I have chosen Victoria's Brown and Green Speckled Milk Jug Pitcher.
I was happy to get a chance to chat with Victoria and learn a little bit more about her and what makes her tick. You can truly tell she has a love for pottery and finds inspiration in the simplest perfections--and imperfections.
Q: Tell us a little about yourself
A: I'm Victoria Baker and I've been throwing for only a couple of years. My dad however has done it for many years and I've learnt how to do it from him. As a child I used to watch him throw pots on the wheel and I think to some extent hes part of the reason why throwing comes quite naturally to me. I also do a lot of other crafts like knitting, illustration and I also design websites. I've been on Etsy for about half a year or so but I do also run my professional blog The Typhon - http://www.thetyphon.com/, a heavy metal podcast called Ragnarok Radio that's been going since 2006 http://www.ragnarokradio.co.uk/ and I tweet an awful lot on twitter http://twitter.com/moominmidge
Q: Where did you get your inspiration for this item?
A: I get a lot of inspiration from nature both colours and shapes. I often think that simple forms can be beautiful and understanding how your object is to be used in everyday life is really important. Creating objects that are both beautiful and functional is key. I'm a massive fan of the pottery of Shoji Hamada. Japanese potters have a totally different outlook on what they make since imperfections are seen as beautiful - adding uniqueness to an object.
Q: What type of material was used to make this?
A: I usually throw in buff clay which produces Stoneware pots. The jug is glazed in Rutile which often gives colour variations of browns, greens and sometimes flecks of white. I just love how no pot is ever the same colour when it comes out of the kiln.

I am so happy I got a chance to learn a little bit more about Abby. She finds such wonderful inspiration for her items.
Q: Tell us a little about yourself
A: My name is Abby, and I've been crafting for about 8 years, but I've only been on etsy for a little over a year. I really enjoy scrapbooking, spending time with my wonderful family (including my Pomeranian, Sam and Dave), practicing yoga, and painting watercolors.
Q: Where did you get your inspiration for this item?
A: I wanted to invoke the dove as a Christian symbol of peace and hope, like when the dove returned to Noah after the great flood with an olive branch, symbolizing the return of peace and a new beginning. The combination of the peace pendant and the dove is both a literal and figurative interpretation of the peace and hope ideal~~one of the highest spiritual values to which we can aspire during the holiday season. I'm also inspired by Native American religious practices, particularly the harmony ideal. Hundreds of years ago, when Native Americans met European explorers, they would frequently present white feathers to the visitors as symbols of peace and harmony.
Q: What type of material was used to make this?
A: The necklace is all sterling silver. I'm interested in learning to work with pure white gold, but right now I'm focusing on affordable pieces.
Thank you Abby for allowing us to see what inspires you! It was such a pleasure! Happy Holidays.
