Oasis Blue Kitty Paw mug video clip

This is one of the kitty paw mugs that my wife makes. It is Oasis Blue on the outside and Mottled Blue on the inside. The paw print is from a stamp that my wife made from an impression from our cat Apollo when he was a kitten. This mug, which is food safe and both microwave and dishwasher safe, is one of the items that my wife is selling in her Etsy store.

Studio Kitty protests

Morgan here--today, I was taking some photographs of the recent items that my wife made. And as always, Mortimer, our Studio Kitty, was out there trying to help...or at least, guilt me into petting him instead of taking silly pictures of pottery. On a whim, I decided to make a small video clip of his protests.

Our Reward Winning Packer

Our reward winning packing kitty.

Today, I would like to introduce you to Baltey, our reward winning packer. And by reward winning, I mean that he should get a reward for being able to eat this much cardboard without having to take a trip to the vet. There are times I think that he might be more puppy than cat. He also likes to tear up paper bags. Please note that if he gets accidently shipped to you that I want you to ship him back--after all, I really love my silly cardboard eating cat.

Paper grocery bags are high in fiber.

Some new work is about to be uploaded



Loyal employee sets up jewelry pieces for the photographer.

 Regular followers of my wife's work will have noticed that it has been awhile since she has posted any new items to her Etsy store. Basically, she has been drowning in the work for her Masters program. Despite this, the occasional piece of jewelry has been completed.

The resulting pieces of jewelry have been slowly filling up my photography box (I have a box where the pieces that need photos taken of are stored until I get done doing my job). Yesterday, because of the nice weather and because I could not stand looking at another piece of homework, I went outside to take some photos.

This thrilled Mortimer, the outside cat and studio assistant. He had great fun getting into the various shots, eventually taking over the entire shoot.

I am not sure when Toni is going to be posting the new items--I am not sure that I took enourgh photos--but I can tell you that it will be soon.

September 2011 Employee of the month

Montimer Sabrehagen --- September Employee of the Month

Montimer gets right into the midst of the action

Something every business needs is good employees. And Celtic Soul Jewelry and Pottery has some of the best employees around. This month's employee of the month is Montimer Sabrehagen. Montimer is a photographer assistant, and also occasionally helps out Toni in the studio.

During a photo session, Montimer gets right in the midst of the action, helping set up shots by occasionally readjusting the placement of jewelry pieces. Montimer is such a hard worker, and deserves more variety in the selection of snacks available to the employees of Celtic Soul Jewelry and Pottery. Maybe some freeze dried shrimp is in order to reward him for all his hard work.

[Montimer is one of the cats that got fixed through the "trap and release" program. Since he gotten fixed, he has mellowed out a lot, actually letting Morgan and Toni pet him. He is currently plotting to become an indoor/outdoor kitty.]
