Handmade Pineapple Plates on ETSY by CherryHillStudio

Take a look at these beautiful hand made plates by Diana of Cherry Hill Studio!

Diana says ~ "The pineapple is a familiar symbolic image of "welcome, good cheer, and warmth and affection" throughout the history of America. I hand built this plate out of stoneware clay and then added the pineapple design using a small pineapple rubber stamp and by drawing the larger pineapple by hand. It was then bisque fired. The glaze is a beautiful glossy sunny yellow which highlights the pineapple design..."

"All the pottery you see in my shop is hand made by me in my studio here in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. I make only wheel thrown or hand built pottery. Most of my pieces are functional but occasionally I will list a whimsical piece or two. All of my glazes are lead free and food safe. They are microwave and oven safe. I love colorful pottery and am constantly experimenting with different glazes to come up with beautiful color combinations..."

Beautiful stuff huh?! :)

Peacock inspired Card Challenge - Rubber Stamping FUN!

Hey everyone!

Here is an awesome card challenge posted by the talented Kim Wilson, who made the owl card below.

Click here to see Kim's blog, and the prizes etc! (Rubber Stamps from US!)

Join in the FUN!!!

"Its challenge time! This weeks challenge is sponsored by Sideshow Stamps! Our inspiration this week is a little different than usual, I took these photos at a local large cat rescue, they have these amazing peacocks just walking free around the grounds! Isnt this one amazing! I was so inspired by the colors I had to do a challenge with them. Now, I know what you are thinking, owls arent blue, well, I didnt have a peacock stamp and I really wanted to use the turquoise and lime so blue owls it is :) Our challenge colors are turquoise, lime and black, if you want to add in the other blues and greens of the peacock that is fine too but has to have those three! Heres the rules, if you would like to enter please become a follower of my blog, please post the inspiration photo and the link back here, only one entry per person and please make something with as close to the challenge colors as possible because if it is something that doesnt go with the theme, the post is old or the link takes me to something totally different it wont count! Also, all of my challenges are chosen at random, it is far too hard for me to pick a winner so everyone has a fair chance! Now that all the details are handled, are you ready for the prize? "
