Etsy Finds Friday - Teapots!

It's Etsy Finds Friday and today I thought I would do my Friday Feature a little differently... I am a coffee drinker.  I love coffee and once I wake up each morning I can't wait to have my first cup of the day!  I don't drink coffee much past noon though.  I also drink tea now and then, nice on a cold winter afternoon or evening.  Even though I don't drink tea as often as I do coffee, I love teapots!  I was browsing Etsy the other day and came across some fun, nature inspired teapots and thought I would share a few with you for Etsy Finds Friday.  Click on the images to see more about each piece and don't forget to visit each of these great shops to see more of their wonderful handmade creations.  Enjoy!

A Bride, Groom and Nine Dogs!

Yes, that's right... Nine Dogs!  My customers wanted their whole 'family' to be a part of their big day.  Along with a Bride and Groom topper, they also wanted whimsical versions of each of their dogs, including two who have passed away.  They asked if I could make those two with little wings.  I created groupings of the dogs, each with little plaques for each of their names.  The bride and groom will be on the top, and the groupings can be placed however they wish on their wedding cake.  These are wonderful keepsakes of their special day, of their family, to be enjoyed and displayed in their home for years to come!

Etsy Finds Friday - Suzanne's Pottery Farm

It's *♥*Etsy Finds Friday*♥*

Today I am featuring the

the Awesome Pottery

 Created by:

Suzanne of

Suzanne's Pottery Farm

In the Artist's Own Words:

My name is Suzanne and I love clay. I love how it feels and even how it smells. I love to throw clay, and I am totally amazed with what can be made using clay. The 5 clays that I use are: raku, porcelain, and three colors of stoneware. I like each one for its own unique properties and can't give up any one of them because each one is used to create something different.  Almost everything that I make is thrown on the wheel - vases and urns, piggy banks and bunny banks and pieces that make my grandchildren happy--and make me happy too--, mugs with big handles, all sizes and shapes of pitchers, garden and fairy garden items, and a lot of seasonal items. 
 

I am a left-handed potter and I throw in the opposite direction of most other potters. For the main part, I taught myself how to throw clay on the potters wheel. (The potters wheel that I learned on is a very special wheel that was made for me by my father. It was made from a tractor axle, electrified, and it is a three speed stick-shift with a clutch. The wheel is still in use - now I use it to grind the bottoms of each piece as it comes out of the kiln, to be certain the bottoms are nice and smooth. )

Yellow Lab Puppy Wedding Cake Topper

 Happy New Year!!!  Can you believe it's 2013?!  

May the New Year be filled with Much Happiness and Success, 

Good Health and Good Cheer!!!

I thought my newest wedding topper looked a little like they could be dressed up to celebrate the coming of a New Year too!  This topper is one of my favorite custom orders, turned out so adorable!!  Of course, I kind of have an attachment to all of my clay creations, and it's difficult to 'say good-bye' each time I mail them off to their new homes... My heart goes into every detail of each one that I create, and I am so thankful to my customers for their continued support, I enjoy making each and every one!!!  Here are the Yellow Lab Puppies, and you can also find them, and see more of my Wedding Toppers and Clay Creations, in my Etsy Shop:  Trina's Clay Creations.
