Etsy Inspiration #127--Claylicious







Happy Saturday Friends!
Welcome to another Etsy Inspiration Challenge!!!!
The featured store this week is called Claylicious.   As you can see from the pictures, her specialty is functional & decorative handmade pottery.  Eshkar's clay art is very inspiring so browse through her store *slowly* until you find your perfect piece!! 

Need an incentive to create something beautiful?  How about 2 prizes that are up for grabs when you play along with us:  the INSPIRE OWL DESK BUDDY  from the Claylicious store & a $10 Gift Voucher offered by our sponsor Your Next Stamp!!!  Now to win one of these awesome prizes, all you have to do is visit the store, pick your inspiration, make whatever your heart desires & link it to the EtsyInspired Challenge Blog by Friday, February 25th @ noon Pacific Time.

I chose the gorgeous ceramic espresso cups for my inspiration piece.  The deep purple color & heart handles just screamed Rich Razzleberry & Vintage Vogue to me!!!  I've been wanting to use this set ever since SU! gave it to me but I'm a bit apprehensive of the whole vintagy thing.  Why???  Because I feel that I'm not good at it yet.  However, I did give it the old college try....inking around the edges & the textured piece.....and to my surprise; I am happy with the *look* of my card!!!  I do hope that I've inspired you to play along with us & for more eye candy; check out the rest of the Design Team and leave them some love:
