All of my glazes are lead-free and completely food safe, so everything you see is safe to eat and drink from! For my ceramics, I make a lot of Halloween and Fairy tale figures; the vast majority of the work I sell is in ceramics, though I do make a few paper clay items. I also make fairytale clocks on wood logs. I suppose I am best known for my full ceramics works. These are items that are made with clay that must be fired in a kiln, which are then painted and glazed with pictures, or made into very specialized figurines. Generally, I keep in mind to challenge myself to make a ceramic piece that is both unique and folksy but which is also functional. So, you can have a pumpkin character, for example, with a large hat, but the hat is really a cup, and you can actually pour a drink in it and drink from it. 20
