Devil's Kitchen Sinkhole, Sedona AZ

More pics from the January trip to Arizona - Devil's Kitchen Sinkhole in Sedona. All pics click through to photo set on Flickr.



May be hard to tell scale from pics - it's pretty large. Very tall tree growing down in there.



Article about the sinkhole.



Got a little dizzy walking around this thing... but couldn't resist looking over to see all that could be seen.

Sedona Sunset

Some photos from last year's trip to Sedona - Airport Loop trail. I realized I hadn't posted them here or unrestricted them on Flickr.

Enjoy! Slideshow at end of post - all photos lead to the full set of pics from the trail on Flickr.

Arizona... again

Blogging will still be light for a while. Currently in between trips. Was in Arizona a couple of weeks ago - went to Sedona and the Grand Canyon again, of course. My friend and I took loads of pictures.

Enjoy!

Stamped Dipping Bowls

More lovely work by RedHotPottery on Etsy.

These dipping bowls were stamped with the triskele elements from our current Celtic knotwork stamp set.

More stamps in clay...

Red Hot Pottery has some more works in ceramics that incorporate our stamps - you can click on the images below to see the listings:

Sedona, Grand Canyon and Ceramic Artists

(Originally posted on Feb 2, 2008)

I was in Arizona in mid-January for a conference and had a few days on my own over the weekend of the 19th. I went to Sedona, as I always do when I have the chance, and also up to the Grand Canyon. Click the image below to see the photo album:

So I got a kick when I was recently contacted by a ceramic artist based in Sedona who wanted some of our stamps. Her business is called Red Hot Pottery and you can click here to visit her store on Etsy. She also has a blog here on blogspot.

Shortly after that, I sold a set to another ceramic artist: Adornyourself.etsy.com. She is based in Canada and is new to Etsy, although not new to pottery.

Although we focus on the fact that our stamps can be used for velvet, we have also tried to emphasize that they can be used on other materials as well - clay being one of them. We keep meaning to join the local pottery studio this season so that we can actually play with the stamps and clay ourselves, so that we can post examples, and possibly also have some pieces to sell. We are far from proficient with clay... and have not done anything with clay for years. I was very excited to have ceramic artists purchase stamps and communicated a bit with them. I can't wait to see what they create, as their work is lovely.

And now I really should get back to work!
