The above is Rabbit's house, where the favorite topic of conversation is food and then gardening.
Friends have been invited for the first soiree of the year, and still rabbit is gathering herbs from his garden behind the house, can you see him?
A gardener's work is never done..........
All donkey's know this.
listing Friday and right now am saying fare thee well and heading back to the paint pots!xxx
PS I wanted to tell you painters about this fabulous palette I learned about from www.lynnehoppe.blogspot.com
Its a very light and easy to hold one, with a sponge lining and keeps the acrylic paint fresh and the perfect consistency. I also wet one of their palette papers and stick it in the back to mix paint I'll use a lot of, that red is from Sennilier and its called Quindicaone burnt orange, but its got a lot of red and mixes well. I've got the larger version of the palatte too, when I'm doing a big canvas. This little one is perfect for smaller works.
Dick Blick is where I ordered this one.
Happy Valentines day!xx

Fun to have a clay day with friends... and, hard to think about gathering herbs at present as we are buried under a foot of snow and its still coming, though I do see rabbit back there.
first of all, that badger is so badger-like!! second of all, everything is lovely as usual! third of all, when i saw the sta-wet palette i thought 'oh! julie got a sta-wet palette!!' then i read my darn name... : )

Those platters are lovely, they would look so good together on a Welsh dresser in a cosy kitchen!
Rabbit in his garden can keep gathering herbs while his friends set up the table with the food they brought. Later, they will all gather round the table and share the food and some stories, and maybe a song or two.
Oh the plate, the plate.....Swoon indeed..x
Love your paintings and the stories they tell. Do you use a mold for your platters? Do they have a 'foot?' Are you using earthenware?
I have one of those 'sta-wet' palettes. :-)
Sweet words and work, Julie! Made me smile to think of you and your friend having a play day. Those are the best times!
that sta-wet palette is the bomb !
thanks to lynne i have one too.
i love seeing your new work . it always so refreshing .
Awwwww, I wish I could have attended clay day, with tea!..... I LOVE your pottery style with the fabulous fun art! Always makes me smile!! (and I REALLY want to try making/painting pottery, it's on my list!!!) :)))
Hello and thanks for your comments
Judy, the platter rolled out on a large piece of Masonite with an old pasta rolling pin, or a large dowel would work. Then slump molded for drying, and the hand building added when its leather hard.No feet. Porcelain..........
Lynne, a most wonderful little palette and I love those sennelier browns and that quidricone burnt orange is great, have you tried it? very rich color.
I would work all day if I could work in the garden in your paintings. :) Happy valentines day!
Dear Julie!
Can I please move in to "Rabbit's house"!
