Judy Ross Textiles

They are my reason for a lot of my joie de vivre each day! I had my fun and then at 40 and then almost 46, I created these two fabulous guys to share my existence with! If anyone asks me how I get to stay so young and fit, I would say it has to do with keeping up with these two! So grateful to have them in my life!!! It has been so much fun with way more to come! xo.

Totem, is a theme in my work these days. It is my go to when I start to draw, a visual that stands tall and repeats.
I love approaching the ceramic vases with this motif and working my way around the piece.
In this vase, I used a ceramic crayon to sketch out the totem.. and then chose a pretty ivory to fill in the shape.. then waxing that over and bringing in color to the space in-between.
It is always a process and a surprise result. I always have to step back and wait a few days before I come up with my opinions.
I like this one, might not go in for another firing… otherwise has a good energy!
