What a beautiful first market to start the season off. Thank you to the team of Candor Studio for hosting such an amazing Christmas market. It made me so happy that not only was our ceramics, indoor plants and succulents well received but our heirloom organic vegetables and fruit were a hit as well. So cool meeting new urban farmers. The more I learn about plants, the more I understand how vital it is for humans to grow. The greatest act of rebellion against this broken system.

When Rupaul said “I feel like you are being sabotaged by your inner saboteur”
It spoke to me. The thoughts of “you are not good enough” “you are self taught, why would you think people would buy from you?” “You can’t possibly think you can create a career out of this” “why are you yearning to play with clay when you have three young children who needs you?” Swirl through my head in the darkness of the night.

Then I gather my courage and head to a market. I sit and watch your expression turn into wonder as you walk past. I sit smiling(while gleefully dancing on the inside) as I absorb your comments of “wow, this is amazing” “do you make this” “keep doing what you doing, it’s wonderful”. I sit in amazement as you excitedly pick out which piece to take home with you. All of these instances at markets are my affirmations from the universe.

Thank you for all the support yesterday. The day filled me with joy. I honestly cannot wait for the next one.

Bastet, also called Bast, the ancient Egyptian Goddess of protection. The daughter of Re, sun God. Worshipped in the form of a lioness or cat. She has the power to protect against diseases, specifically for women and children.

Tigers eye is a stone of protection, it is said to also bring good luck. It has the power to focus the mind, also bringing mental clarity, assisting us to resolve problems objectively, unclouded by emotion.

I hope the intention of each mug that is hand built can be felt within each cup of tea/coffee enjoyed in it.

I’ve taken a much needed mental health break. Covid, lockdowns, restrictions has taken a toll. Even though markets has been closed I have still continued creating. Now that everything is starting back up again, a new fire inside has ignited, a stronger more resilient passion for creating.

I have been drawn to the curves of the feminine shape for some time. You will see in the next couple of days as I post some new pieces created in recent months.

This mug has a clear quartz attached to it. It has the capacity to release, absorb, store and regulate energy. The clear quartz enhances spiritual growth, awareness and wisdom. It increases inspiration and creativity l.

Sometimes I find it difficult to make my one post a day that I try to achieve. Sometimes the things that bring me joy just don’t anymore. I find the urge to draw within and my hermit self comes out. I can’t answer messages, I can’t pick up the phone, I don’t garden. Sometimes we just need the space. It was a hectic year 2020, we clawed for survival being a household of small businesses, losing my 10 year old St. Bernard and my 8 month old puppy, it felt necessary to rest. It didn’t feel like this year started for me. But now I can feel the shift in energy within. I am ready to shed the dark. I am allowing gratefulness to fill me once again and slowly my plants are awakening with me.

One thing that you should know about me is that I am obsessed with string of things! String of hearts, dolphins, tears, donkeys tail, ruby necklace, they are all treasured in the grow room. The deep purples and greens of string of hearts is the reason why this succulent is one of my favourite. I’ve been rooting these few strands from my mother plant over 3 weeks and they are finally ready to move into a pot. Sat down and made this lady last night in a beautiful black clay. Can’t wait to put these two together!

I’ve always admired my succulent blooms. It’s satisfying to know my plant is happy and feel like it’s a reminder from nature to always be present and grateful for the now. They only last a couple of hours or days depending on the plant. When I stumbled upon a YouTube video of a potter using dried pressed flowers to do imprints on her pieces it got me thinking bout my blooms. A way to enjoy the memory of them by using them as imprints on platters and mugs and I’ve loved the outcome.

Find us this Saturday at the Oude Molen Eco Village Food, Craft and Music Market for our last market of the year🌵🎄

Another service I offer is filling large pots that you might have laying around the house. Benefits of this is not accumulating unnecessary plastic pots and receiving succulents and cacti for the unique lighting requirements you need. I also love arranging them, talking to myself and the plants as I get quite attached to some 😅
This arrangement includes two types of Haworthia’s which are endemic to South Africa. It is made for a low light or indoor setting 😊🌵
