Ceramics: Taking Suggestions

[rebeccmeister]

Dear friends and family, I'm back at that point where I don't have a ton of ceramics projects all lined up and waiting to be completed. Therefore, I'm turning to YOU for ideas again. Here's the deal, though - if I make something special for you, we should do so in the form of some sort of gift exchange. I could give you the item for your birthday or for the sake of a wintry celebration of your choosing in December, but I have to pay for whatever I make, in terms of ceramics supplies, course fees, and time. I also won't guarantee any particular order of completion, unfortunately, because I just can't.

So, is there something that your heart desires that I might make for you? Let me know. I think I will actually be able to afford ceramics this fall after all, so I should have some time available. My throwing skills are all right (mugs, bowls, small closed forms like honeypots), and handbuilding skills are pretty good.

One lingering thing that has been on the list - bluepapercup, you asked about pasta bowls. Still want them? Set of four?

I am all about the kooky spoon rest. Or maybe a large cafe au lait cup/bowl to call my own.
I will hook you up with something nice.

Oh man, it's a DEAL. You are going to love your package!

I should mention - I made a spoon rest once that was shaped like a coffin and said "Here Lies the Spoon." Heh, that was a good one.

Hah I love it!
So what things grow well in the fall/winter in your part of the world?

[rebeccmeister.livejournal.com]

Heheh, yours will probably be less cheeky, but that was a fun one to make. :-)

I am going to get a big lettuce crop going again as soon as it's cool enough. If we get tomatoes started early enough, I should have a tomato crop in late November/early December, as well. The eggplants will probably keep going, too. I think if I improve my growing techniques, I might be able to get strawberries and rhubarb going over the winter, although the probability of success is much lower with them. And the list keeps going...I should get a more organized reply/blog post together so I can hit the ground running this year.

I would very much like to have some small, deep bowls. Trade you embroidery.

[rebeccmeister.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! I will have you describe the desired size and shape tomorrow.

I would love that! Set of four sounds just perfect! I'm happy to pay for the clay, as well as come up with an awesome gift in exchange. :D

Okay, cool. All you have to do is come up with an awesome exchange gift - I have some clay that should work really nicely. :-)

Sweet. :) Very, very sweet.

Thank you so much in advance!

I am already scheming! *rubs hands together*
