Score!! Sophia has started playing with my keys, so I wanted to take the two old keys I had moved to the studio for use as stamps back home with me today so she could have her own “toy” keychain. They don’t go to anything anymore, but had a little sentimental value. I figured I’d better finally use them as stamps before taking them home, and made this little key catcher. Huh. I like it a lot. I should probably make more and offer them for sale. But where to get keys I can use another day… I remembered that a bowl full of old keys appeared near the studio door when they changed the keys and locks, so I found it and asked the head studio guy about it. He said I could HAVE them all AND the bowl they come in. Lots of interesting shapes in here… Would you like a key bowl like this? I could glaze them in a variety of colors with translucent glazes that will show up very nicely on the stamps (“celadons”). Let me know! #pottery #ceramics #clay #bowl #wrensnest #handmade #art #artstr #grownostr

these would be so cute for decorating an entryway!
Definitely the idea!! And the glazes I would use come in a lot of different colors; there’s something to suit anyone.

ooo, you could personalize with initials in the keys and it'd be a really good housewarming present 🎁

Looks good! Whenever I make something my family doesn’t want to eat off of, the piece usually ends up serving in this capacity of “key bowl”…
At my folks’ house, mugs we didn’t drink out of but still liked became pen holders 😁
