during a professional development day at school, the wellness committee arranged for staff to participate in activities that ranged from high tea to mountain biking. you may ask how is that professional development? okay most of you just want to know how i made these! lol!
well, i selected pottery. here are my results...we were given minimal instruction and free range as what we were to make. after some pondering and playing with ideas, i rolled the clay, used rubber stamps from the dollar store to press the design into the clay and then used a dragonfly cookie cutter to acheive the shape! ! after they were fired in the kiln, i then glazed them and viola! they will rest on my vanity for now, they may become magnets later!
i love the strength, the beauty and the elegance of dragonflies!!
Helen...I really love how the came out. They are beautiful. Way to go for a first timer.
ReplyDeletewow you did great. another craft to spend money on, lol.
