Creating a vocabulary



I purchased Amy Sanders DVD abut creating custom textures from Ceramics Daily and viola........I have learned a language that was buried deep within me.  Like Amy, I grew up with fabric....actually all kinds of fiber (but I will save that for another post).  I learned to sew at a very young age with the patient help from my Mom and Grandmother.  I spent many a day in the fabric store....all kinds of fabric stores.  My kids have grown up feeling very comfortable (perhaps not enjoying it as much as I have) in fabric stores.  The designs and textures have been simmering away all these years.

and now....I create my own vocabulary with designs carved into and out of clay stamps.  I then use these stamps to texture clay.
It is very addicting.  To sketch, to carve, to stamp.

Thank You AMY!
