Work and claying...

Hi everyone! I'm back...again! haha New things happened during the past month. I've just started regular work and so finding time to blog or clay is a bit hard. I look forward to Friday nights and weekends because those are the best times for me to get crafty and play with clay again! 

I just want to share with you a project I made last Feb and March. I made these babushka pendants for two toddlers who will wear them on their birthday! I also made a family portrait but I'm still looking for a photo that I can post here. I'm also in the process of finishing one again but it's taking me a bit long to get it done. Hopefully, I could finish it this weekend. 

So that's it for now! Just a quick update! Have a good weekend everyone! 

Explore..

I've been spending most of my time outdoors during the past weeks. So many places to discover here in Australia! Beaches and parks are just minutes away. I had a wonderful time with my family having road trips, picnics and exploring! I'm thankful for having a husband and a son who also love to go on adventures. Here are some photos (taken by our official photographer...Daddy!) of our recent explorations...

Two more days to go and it's back to school already for my little boy. It's going to be a busy school year ahead. So adventures will just be done on the weekends! :)

I made two new dome pendant designs..one hoot and one oink hehe! I will post photos of them soon. Have a good week everyone!

Doodle #2

I really love to doodle or draw even if it doesn't love me that much. It helps me to relax. It's some sort of meditation for me. I feel so accomplished after I've finished one drawing even if it's very simple. It's also a great way to pass time while waiting for my son to finish his lunch or one way of keeping my hands off the computer! I think holding a pencil is better than the mouse! 

I'm proud to say that I made doodle #2 today! So that means..a few hours of not sitting in front of the computer and just staying by my son's side while he plays and I draw. Here it is..

A mother's love.

I already started a new one and this time it will be colored! :)

See ya in my next post! 

Claying mommy no more..

I revamped my blog and also changed its name. It is now called rockyvantonio@blogspot.com.au! Just a few changes here and there but it sure helped to inspire me to blog more.  

It is a good start for the new year!

 I am really thankful to God for giving me these hands that can create. I still have a long way to go before I can create the "masterpiece" but I'm also thankful for each year that I get to learn and try out new things. So before I move on to 2014, let's look back first to 2013! Here are the projects I made last year. 

2013 was also a very good year because I joined my first ever craft fair in Australia! It was a very good experience and I'm also very thankful for the support of family and friends. I learned so many things from that experience and I'm looking forward to joining more fairs in 2014! Here's a photo of my booth during the fair in Hornsby RSL...
