BodyMind Creative Studio My journey started as an upcycle artist, creating things from discarded materials and selling some, or submitting some to exhibits.

It continues with my schooling in Arts Therapy. Watch this space to see how it evolves.

Remember my granny square blanket? I started doing a row a day around as edging with a slightly different colour scheme (rainbow colours for days I feel pretty normal). The blanket was getting too big and heavy, so now I have switched to adding a little fringe every day. Last week has been mostly black, so I took myself off to the doctor to ask for another new prescription for a newly available (although unfunded) CGRP medicine. It is an injectable and I am needle phobic😬 might need some help with this one. Let’s see if more rainbow colours appear and less black?

Everything survived😊 just one more firing to go and then they will be done. The little blue and the unicorn also got fired in the club kiln.

They are in the kiln for the first firing.

Now that the pills and pill bottles are drying I did a little bit of a production line for some more bird baths to add to the kiln. Ran out of Salt & Pepper clay today so 6 was all I could do.

Making little bird bath trinket dishes/teabag holders. Have made some as dishes before without the base, but thought these might look cute. What do you think? Should I make more?

This is one I will chalk up to gaining experience and learning. Lost a wing and both feet on the ride home (because I couldn’t keep him on the shelf at the clubs until I rented a kiln later when I have enough to fill it). Feet were too thin anyway, and he was too big. Might try reclaiming all the clay. Will be another great learning, as I have never recycled dried green ware before.

I started taking Aquipta again where the purple tassle is. Doesn’t look like it is doing anything for me 🙄 except of course giving me issues with side effects. Time to stop and try something different?

Making the letter and number stamp this way and just bisque firing them did not work. I also realised that there is no way I will be able to make 13 of these by June, even if this first trial works😂 I will be using almost a full 10 kg of clay to make one. We are only allowed to purchase 2 bags of recycled clay a month! Although I could probably get some others to buy some and sell it on to me😉 we will see. I may have a different idea on how to present this installation anyway. Watch this space😊
