Beginnings

I've always really enjoyed painting. My obsession for the last couple of months has been painting ceramics. I'd thought I'd try to see if I could turn my hobby into a small business. So I've started creating my first "line". It's an alphabet line inspired by Ed Emberley's ABC book for kids. So here's a few from the first set...

T for Teapot.. and morning teas with cream cakes and cupcakes... nom nom nom

C is for Cookie... milk and cookies.... after I made this one I baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies as it didn't seem right to have an empty cookie jar..

E is for eggs... and what better to have with your morning eggs than a hot cup of coffee... in your egg tea cup - genius.

I'm focussing on homewares - so teapots, cups and saucers, plates, jugs, espresso cups etc. I'll post more images as soon as my next lot have been fired.

I'm hoping to start selling these at local fairs in Auckland. But if you're looking to buy anything please feel free to drop me a line (mk (at) strauss (dot) co (dot) nz). At present my prices are likely to range between $15 (for an espresso cup and saucer) to $50 for a big teapot.
