Here’s another little jar that’s flown away to a shop called Made on Skye in Broadford, Isle of Skye. Hand-turned by the hubs, painted by me.

All work and no play makes Kat a dull girl.
Almost finished with this tiny little beauty. The urge to go spend more hours painting impossibly small details is strong, but I’m trying to train myself to remember less is more.

Well, who’s a fancy flapjack? We make jars, too! This one’s about 10in tall. Acrylics, ink, metallic inks and powders, and many layers of lacquer. We’re particularly happy with the crazing at the bottom.

Remember the ugly-stage painting I posted a while back? It’s almost finished. I work more slowly now than I used to, but with less stress & self-criticism. Whether or not a painting is good or even finished, it’s still all practice and building muscle-memory, learning techniques and style.

Today, I submit an unprofessional, non-business-related post here. Sometimes our TV switches the audio from one channel to a different program. Today it’s Doc Martin meets Kojak. Sound up.

Countless hours go into each item we create. The journey starts by sustainably harvesting wood ourselves, drying it naturally up to a year, processing it into blanks, then turning and painting them, with a final week of applying 6-7 layers of lacquer.

Some odds-and -ends photos from here on the loch. I have no idea what the little frog I found on the beach was for—it’s got a little angled notch in its back for some unknown reason.

Ignore the less-than-ideal lathe noise! Here’s a video of a shot glass being lacquered. I like to paint the insides sometimes, just for fun. Acrylics, inks, metallic inks on sycamore.

Another shot glass! Painted by me: acrylics, ink, color-shift powder on beech. (I forgot to take a shot of the interior, which is lacquered bare wood. Hubs turned and finished this.

An orange mushroom! I tend not to do a lot of orange, but here’s this one. It’s about five and a half inches tall.

I love these new little darlings. I’ve avoided representational designs when painting out shrooms, but these were a breeze to do. They’re just under 2” high. Acrylics and inks on sycamore.

I’m really happy with how this came out. Hubs turned it, interpreting one of my shroom designs. I believe I was listening to Bobby Darin while I painted it. Inks, acrylics on wood.
