I had a customer who saw my recent square mug video [http://mudstuffing.setupmyblog.com/?p=242] and asked if I could made a normal "american style" butter dish (read - non-french) to match her square mug. The idea instantly intrigued me so I had to give it a shot.<br /><br />This is the result. The are thrown from porcelain clay and then completed by hand building. They hold 1 stick (1/4 lb) of butter. Nice long graceful fair lines make these stunning dishes and will be making more in the future.<br /><br />Dishwasher safe. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26509228Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:08:45 -040042.00http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.75625303.jpgnew1Fathers Day Stoneware Mug - Wood fired

Please do not purchase unless you are her. <br /><br />I just recently redesigned the form on my french butterdishes. They still hold two sticks of butter, but have a more sculptural finess and are lighter and easier to hold when you are getting out the butter. <br /><br />Do you like soft butter? I don't mean margarine, but "real" soft butter? Our French Butter Pots (a.k.a. French Butter Dishes) will keep your butter soft but fresh for 30 days without refridgeration. Of course, butter doesn't stay around our house that long.<br /><br />To use, put some water in the bottom bowl, pack the butter in the "bell shaped lid". You only need enough water to make an air tight seal around the bottom of the bell with the lid on. This is what keeps the butter fresh. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26706309Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:54:28 -040037.00http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.76276759.jpgnew1Two Wine Cups

It's embroidered using my bernina aurora 430, added some free motion quilting and some batik applique (the letters and pineapple). The kiwis are all thread. The background print is a Heather Baily fabric pieced with batiks. It's been bound using a double french fold (machine stitched in the ditch - I don't have the patience for hand work), with a poly/cotton blend batting and batik backing fabric. I am starting to put sleeves on the backs of all my quilts, regardless of size. The sleeve will accept a 1/2" dowel. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7046668Mon, 24 Nov 2008 20:18:30 -050045.00http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.11386532.jpgnew1

Throw in the morning, sew in the afternoon...Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:58:08 +0000http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1enhourly1I can’t spell silohette and I am too lazy to look it up…
http://blog.mudstuffing.com/?p=529
http://blog.mudstuffing.com/?p=529#commentsThu, 25 Jun 2009 14:47:42 +0000keithhttp://blog.mudstuffing.com/?p=529The other day I was needing some momentum in getting some new decal imagery. My current mode or theme has been making the decals be images but used for the sake of pattern, or function as pattern. So not really going for geometric pattern, but using it in the same way you might see on an arts and crafts style pot. Of course I stray from this, sometimes a lot, but it’s been my ‘trigger’ I come back to when stuck for ’something’.
So after seeing Wilhem Staehle’s work and some skateboard shadow photos I saw on twitter. I started thinking about silohuettes and what I could use, whether I wanted to draw them or what. A few days laters I thought about shadow puppets and converted my photobooth to a shadow puppet stage - not really though, I just tacked up a batik cloth and put a light behind it. I thought this might give me a crisp enough shadow to use with either craft robo or decals. The batik cloth had a pattern on it, but it was the only “white-ish” cloth I had around. This turned out to be pretty cool none the less.
So here’s two shots of the booth with the cloth pulled away and what I used for shadows…
And here one of the first shots of a few daisys. It was trickier than I thought to get a nice crisp shadow cast - both because I really like how some shadows blurred and some didn’t (this wouldn’t make for a good ’shape’) and also the photo booth is only 2 feet deep, meaning the “depth of field” of the light/cast would be short. Placing the light farther away would have made it more crisp. Pretty cool how the shadow mimics the camera. But here it is straight up, with no adjustment to the photo, pretty blah…
So I cut a bunch of stuff out of the garden, both flowers and leaves and anything that had interesting shape and what not. About this time I was reminded of either something my little brother (Dave) said about animation (or maybe it was something I read that he linked to, regardless for some reason I associate it with him). It was something about how you know a character will make a good animation by how well it can be identified by it’s silouhette, or if the negative space has an interesting appeal… as in if you block in the character, if you can see and identify who it is or if it still reads well, then “all is good”. If the character is in a tight cannonball pose - no good. That’s why all these super heros look so much cooler when crouched down with one leg sticking out and wonderful negative space. Anyways, these were the thoughts in my head as I was taking pics, rotating flowers and trying to get the most interesting shapes possible. At this point I wasn’t concerned with pattern, just concerned with getting good negative space happening. Here’s the contact sheet of all the pics.
So… off to the computer and into photoshop we go… First step was to desaturate these of color. One of my favorite tools these days is use the “black and white” adjustment tool. It works very similar to the way red/orange/yellow filters work when making prints in a dark room, only you can adjust more colors. It allows you to either increase the amount variety in the photo when converting to black and white, or help you isolate objects. Either way, it gives you much more control than a simple desturate adjustment. In the first few photos below, I was going off on a tangent and using the b/w adjustment tool to help emphasize the pattern in the batiks fabric. Once it was converted to black and white grayscale, I punched up the constrast quite a bit with levels, and then laid over a layer of color and set the method to “overlay” to make it duotoned.
Now it was time to reign myself in and quit playing and get what I needed from these. Back in photoshop, I went back to the original photos and used the black and white tool to tone down the pattern in the batik fabric and increase the contrast of the shadow (same tool, but opposite effect of what I did in the previous photos). Once it was grayscale, I increased the contrast even more until it was stark black and white (with the Levels tool, but curves would work just as well). At this point, it’s pretty extreme - just black and white and not much gray. That’s what I want, but there’s a lot of noise. The shadow gets cleaned up with the paint brush, isolated from the background and then a gaussian blur filter is applied, and quickly followed up with another Levels adjustment to get it back to just black and white. What this does is softens the shape a bit, smooths it out, and too me defines it better than a shape with way too much detail. Below are a few of the cleaned up silouhettes, all the clutter has been removed, leaving me with a nice shape - and bringing us closer to becoming a motif.
These are saved as single bitmap (black and white colors only) tiffs. The reason for converting to b/w bitmaps are: 1. File size is small and all we need is black and white for decals, 2. If I want to color them I can easily apply a color in illustrator, maintaining the silouette. I could stop right there, but I always like to be able to use stuff for multiple projects, so I convert these babies to vectors using Illustrators live trace tool.
Out of Photoshop and into Illustrator.
The reason for converting to vectors? All the reasons I like the bitmap format above, but also - when scaling up or down, there’s no loss of smooth edge, the file size is even smaller, and I can pull it into flash if I was to animate or something. Oh yeah, you can also stroke it, but that sounds so naughty! The live trace is a tricky tool to get right, but pretty dang powerful. I’ve found for decal work, downsampling the image to 300 dpi; 5 pixel path fitting & 10 min area retains the shape I want, but makes a nice simple vector…
Once it’s in a vector form, I can easily flip, rotate, duplicate the shape (now I’m calling it a motif) however I want. One thing to point out, is the shapes above are basically what I would use for the decals, maybe duplicated or resized some, but essential just the black and white motif used to create patterns. The stuff below is sort of “play”. Illustrator lets me easily “play” with the motifs to see which ones are good and not so good. It’s going to give me a good sense of what’s possible with each motif when used on a pot. I don’t pre-plan how I lay the decals down on the pot - I have a general idea or direction, but it’s only when I see the decal on the pot when I can see it’s potentional. That’s why all the pots are different, even though I may re-use the images over and over again across more than one pot.
So, like I said, the images below give me a sense of the “pattern vocabulary” that can be developed with what I have. Oh… one other thing you might notice is that some of the motifs are outlined. I did this using the artistic brushes in Illustrator, yet another benefit of converting it to a vector… If the solid black silouette is too heavy for a pot (heavy as in too much solid black), outlining it with an artistic brush is an easy way to “lighten” it up - weight wise, making it not so heavy. Here’s the daisy head and cosmo outlined with a brush.
Here’s some of the patterns I was playing around with, all done with the motifs you saw above.
And finally a little collage I had to get out of my system, combining the motifs, the photographs and some other images I had stockpiled:
Well, all this would be grand, since I have pots waiting to be decaled with these new images… sadly my love/hate relationship with printers is in a deep ‘hate’ phase, and unless she starts working today, I think I am going to have to start dating another printer. Since only a few printers work with the toner decals, I may have to settle for whatever I can find and get shipped quickly… I’ve got the Big Crafty coming up in a few weeks and I need to get the pots from the last firing embellished. All this and I am in seattle all next week.

http://blog.mudstuffing.com/?p=502#commentsTue, 16 Jun 2009 14:35:00 +0000keithhttp://blog.mudstuffing.com/?p=502A few of the items out of the last load was some more ceramic thermoses. I modified the design only slightly, but threw it different. It now had reed latches that secures the cup on top. I was surprised at how well it secured it, but it will handle a good shake. Most importantly no leaks. The others will be embellished with decals…
