Mallard Green


So my favorite medium of art is ceramics. I love working on the wheel and playing with glazes. This is my first cylinder shape pitcher. The glaze is mallard green one of my favorite glazes. My mom uses the pitcher for gravy and sauces. The pictures don't do the color justice but it is one of my favorite pieces.

Crazy Directions

I just started student teaching this week! I'm so excited I'll be working in a second grade classroom. This does mean I'll be really busy as well as I managed to break three nails on Sunday after a trip with a friend and my brother-in-law. So I'll be posting older pictures as well as focusing on artwork until I feel I have enough downtime to do my nails again and when they are in better condition.

The nail design was from the monster bundle!! I used Konad - white and Sinful Colors Irish Green. At the time I felt like my mind was going in a million different directions and I wanted to do a really bright color for the end of summer before breaking into more winter hues. So I thought the arrows were appropriate and that green is quite the green.
