All this gorgeous sunshine has made me get my clay and and charm up the studio. I love air dry clay as its easy to work with, easy to clean and I can make fabulous things without having to have a kiln, which I would love but do not have.
Today I've been using my letter stamps and natural finds to create some lovely terracotta coloured pieces with a boho theme.

Materials for my adventures
#1 is hand stamped with the word 'travel' with two holes in it to use as a button
#2 is 'earth' with a single hole for stringing
#3 is 'stone' no hole as I think this will look great as a plain little shelf decoration or grounding piece
#4 'run' for those days we all have
#5 'fly away; who doesn't have those dreams of being a bird
#6 'love' what we all want above all other things
#7 is my thumbprint which is a very personal thing. Ones thumbprint is the invisible mark we leave on everything we do
#8 is a piece of vintage lace pressed onto the clay
#9 is the bark of a dried up flower stem
#10 mulberry flower print
#11 is the word 'leaf'
#12 is 'tree'
#13 is some freshly picked rosemary left over from my rosemary lemon focaccia that I made for lunch
#14 is the press of a shell from a trip to the sea last summer
#15 is a beach stone with lots of little holes and bubbles
