200th Post - giveaway

An all porcelain selection!!
Southern Ice porcelain is an expensive and delicious clay. I fire to stoneware giving a pure white finish, an intentional unglazed outer surface allows me to polish to a smooth soft sheen, with the finish feeling very similar to newborns skin.
Given the nature and the quality of the piece I intend to giveaway I would like to invite you to contribute to my next solo exhibition, most will be familiar with my Domestic Duties Exhibition coming up and many of you have given me your ONE word to the collective (if your not familiar click the link above). The exhibition is just two months away and I would love some more ONE words, so far I have nearly 700 words and it'd be fab if it totalled 1000!
To refresh your memory - "Describe in ONE word your feelings toward domestic duties - negative or positive" - So would it seem fair of me to ask you for Ten (10) - ONE words?
All you need do is comment your Ten (10) - ONE words and which piece you'd like to receive:
1. Looking Glass, 2. Repetitive, OR 3. Punctured

1. Looking Glass
H 7.5cm x Dia 4cm
Polished Southern Ice porcelain, clear gloss interior and plexiglass.
 
2. Repetitive*
H 8.5cm x Dia 6.5cm
Etched polished Southern Ice porcelain
*(prototype - for Domestic Duties Exhibition, normally I keep these pieces!)
 
3. Punctured*
H 10.5cm x W 11cm x D 4.7cm
Polished Southern Ice porcelain & horseshoe nail
*(front view top, side view below)
 
I will draw the winner next Sunday evening (around 6pm'ish) 8th April - Oh, I see this will be Easter Sunday a special Easter treat!!

  1. Hey Kim, I'd love to post a comment. I can;t wait to see the outcome of your Domestic Duties Project
    Here are my ten words for you:

    I feel all of them. Recall that the feelings are different before the housework and after the housework.
    BEFORE:
    1 again?
    2 why me?
    3 arrrgggghhhh
    4 bored
    5 vexation
    6 exasperation
    AFTER:
    7 satisfaction
    8 contentment
    9 gratification
    10 pride


    And I'd choose Looking Glass, but they are all very desirable pieces.

    Good luck with the project

  2. Hi Kim I love punctured.
    This domestic series is close to my heart.
    I'm not too positive when it comes to the domestic.My ten words are.
    frustration
    numbing
    irritating
    exhausting
    dense
    withering
    necessary
    cleansing
    grounding
    nurturing

  3. YAY!!!!

    Hi Candy, thanks for dropping by, hope you are well. I must say my words have not being overly positive either :-)

  4. Posting for Trace...

    10 words most defintiely worth the effort for number 1.

    endless
    pointless
    distracting
    procrastination
    eventually
    delegate
    piecemeal
    pacifying
    daily
    irresponsibly

    But these probably tell you far too much about my bad attitude to housework. I would much rather be in the studio and generally try to use housework as a way of avoiding things I am supposed to be doing.

  5. Thanks Trace, I'm with you! I'd rather be in the studio too, and come to think of it, I've also used housework as a means to aviod something...

  6. Hi Kim,
    now that I own 3 beautiful pieces by you from various bodies of work I can officially say that I am a collector! So I am keeping my fingers crossed that I might be the lucky one to win the above pieces!

    droll
    refreshing
    reclaiming
    routine
    exhausting
    draining
    exhilerating
    limiting
    avoidance
    Hi Ho!

    Hope to get my blog active over Easter. Happy New Life to you and all

  7. Posting for Ingrid...

    I try not to do any housework so mine may be rather negative!

    why?
    overrated
    unnecessary
    awh!
    advantage?
    tomorrow
    timewaster
    imagination
    tragedy
    repetetive
    busy

    Hope they might be useful. I love all the works so either would be wonderful.

    Thanks,
    Ingrid

  9. Hi Kim,

    I think I have given you one word, but I'm sure I can think of 10 more -

    wiping,
    swiping,
    dusting,
    brushing,
    sweeping,
    neating,
    mouldy,
    toxic,
    sneezy,
    wheezy,
    hard on kneesey.

    Oh, I've created a poem [with a bit of poetic licence] - a new genre??

    I love no 3, the punctured beaker xoxoxox

  10. Thanks for the response so far - 60 words already!! I'll make the thousand in no time :-)

    Hi Ingrid, thanks for emailing through your words - I will randomly chose a number for your chosen piece.

    Thanks Mieke, I like how most of your words contain few letters.

  14. K- congrats on the 200th post: and the white porcelain work with the nails and rust is great. I will leave the giveaway and words to others as I can only think of one word for domestic duties - necessary. Go well. B

  15. Love them all Kim, but 'Punctured' is my fave... lust, lust. EXTREMELY generous giveaway. Have already given you one or two words but hey, I'm not short of imagination.
    Housework is:
    relentless, unremitting, inexorable, constant, unvarying, tedious, tiresome, disagreeable, annoying... but sometimes rewarding.

    Noela is soooo creative with her words.

  16. Hi Kim, they are all fantastic creations and I would love to take part in your generous giveaway. I think my choice would be punctured.
    My ten words for housework:
    Pay
    Someone
    Else
    For
    Housework
    So
    You
    Can
    Make
    Pots

    B - thanks for contributing. K

    Hi Jo, thanks for adding more words, and yes it is generous - lets just say that I'm sharing the love, its nice to give thanks for the support I receive from my fellow bloggers.

  24. Boy oh Boy what great lists... I'll go for daiquiri...

    PS: forgot to say I also love the 'Repetitive' whoever gets it will be reminded every time he/she dusts (if they do) that this is the nature of housework.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm with you on the Daiquiri Jo! We've just completed the draw and as it goes 'Repetitive' is going to a new home - as a reminder like you say...
