Hello. My name is Beth (Howard) Snyder. I have a weblog. I'm a Missouri born artist and graphic designer. I love to laugh, make art, sew crap together, print on heavy iron equipment and anything relating to all of those things. I spend so much time ripping out seams and re-sewing them that I decided to title my blog "stitch.rip.repeat". Thank you so much for stopping by! Check out my website for more art and life.

Blogs I read and you should too!

Fun with clay

I am now on my 2nd 25 lb bag of clay for my ceramics class. This feels sort of glutonous to me, but I guess it's all for the sake of being productive.

I took the last of my 2nd bag home to play with making some tiles and other things from slabs of clay, and I wanted to try my letterpress stamps with the clay too.

Results are mixed, I think. This is a sneak preview of my "Missouri" print! I guess I'll use it as a trivet or something.

I carved a little rubber stamp for this one.

Then I made a tiny house which made me realize that the Art Dept.'s houses are REALLY worth the money. It's hard! And takes tons of time! I don't know how they do it! I love my Mother In Law for getting me this one for Christmas!!

So tonight is the last official pottery class. Of course, I have tons of things in process, so I'll have to go back to glaze, etc. before the end of the summer semester.
