Last night I began to sand shards for my class "Repurposed Polymer & Shard Pendant" that I will be teaching at Sweetland Retreat in Manchester, Maine on November, 14th.
I was in the antique business with my Mom for years and have slowly weeded out all of the big stuff. I did keep many old and unique small items for art & such. I seem to have a hard time letting go of little precious items that are broken, chipped or cracked. Hence the boxes of broken pottery & china in my attic. I placed each piece of pottery/china between two towels, put on my safety glasses and started gently breaking up some of these unwanted plates, platters & bowls with a hammer. Last night I sat in my chair with a big platter on my lap and began to sand the edges with a big fingernail file & steel wool. 
Soon they will be someone elses treasure that they can wear around their neck!There are just a couple of spots left in this class!

ReplyDeleteJessica...long time no talk to you!! I hope this message finds you happy healthy and well. I was wearing my Mojo the other day, and realized it had been too long since we'd touched base. We had some family tragedies (thus my break from blogging for a while). I haven't been making too many new pieces, although I miss it desperately. Collected some new "vintage" pieces, so I'm hopeful to do something fun soon. All the best to you; as always, I love your stuff!! Hugs, Sheila
