Several Shirts

A friend asked me to make some shirts for newborns and their siblings.

And this is one for my own daughter

The front girlie got a button so that Daddy also knows, what is front and what is back...

Back to clay

When I was young I loved to work with clay. So when a friend of mine had it about a pottery atelier just in the neighbourhood where you could follow workshops, I immediately jumped at it!

I tried throwing for a while, but whenever it started to look like a bowl or a pot, it collapsed. With the help of the master I managed to make three bowls (two of which I never collected afterwards).

So in the last hour I decided I really wanted to produce stuff to take home. So I used predried clay sheets to make a vase for my mother and my friend. Both are into ikebana / flowers, so I thought it would make a nice gift. - I still need to take pictures of the vase I made for my mum, but here's already one:

baby set for a cute cuban boy

A friend of ours recently gave birth to a cute little boy. Since she is Cuban, there had to be some Spanish text on it, so we chose some lines from 'la bamba'.

The placing of the text is a bit chaotic - all intentional of course ;)

the back of the shirt

The jersey is called 'Take a ride' - the colours are quite strong, but I like it combined like this.

The patterns are from Ottobre, the shirt Nr 7 from 4/2006, the pants are Anis 1/2010 - love this pattern!
