Beautiful Pottery

Since my camera is broken, I can't take pics of the new stuff I've made and sold. (You can guess what's on my Christmas list.)
So I'm posting about beautiful creations of others. Check out this gorgeous pottery by Whitney Smith.
I especially love those bowls. They remind me of these ones which I've seen around (obviously a cheaper, more casual variation): Pin It

No more pictures...

My piece of junk camera is broken again so I can't show you what I made this weekend. Last time this happened it self-repaired after a few days. I'm hoping that happens again. Pin It

Chair Makeover?

UPDATE: These chairs are all sold! I can't believe it! There were 40 for sale and they are all gone! So sad for me.

So I recently found these chairs on KSL Classifieds, and I'm thinking that with a paint job they could be cool with my future Big Sur Dining Table. I can't afford the table right now, so my temporary solution would be to put a cool tablecloth on my current table, and use these chairs with it. I'm not sure yet what color I would paint them, but below you can see what I've been toying with.
Original (kind of a pukey yellow matte finish):Black glossy paint on seat and legs (my counters are black granite so they would go nicely):Black seat with chrome legs:Orange seat for a pop of color (is it too much?):I think I'm liking the full black one. White is also under consideration. But I'd love to hear what you think.

The chairs on only $2 a piece (that's not a typo), so I might just buy one or two to experiment with, and if I like them I'll buy a full setting. Pin It
