Pottery Ring (or Donut) Wedding Vases!

[@lianaholtochsner]

I love that you share with us, you are sooooooo real. It’s quite refreshing. I hate it when you ask someone how they are and they just say, “Oh, I’m fine”. , when they aren’t. I know when I have a true friend I can tell them everything and they can tell me everything and each of us are there to listen and comfort each other. So here’s a big hug. Much love and light coming your way. I’m watching this video since I am attempting to make 3 urns for a close friend’s husband, 1 for her , and the other two for her sons. My heart hurts but I am honored that I was asked to make the urns. …Liana

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@lianaholtochsner Thank you, Liana. Yes, too be asked to make an urn is such an honor, yet such an emotional make. Sending positive thoughts your way. ❤️

[@jackieopperman6568]

Sorry to hear about all the trouble with your family. Hope she has speedy recovery. So excited to see you back in the studio with complex projects. Just love your work. ❤

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you!

[@heididerksen8227]

Glad to hear you vent and get it off your chest. Praying for speedy recovery for your mom and that your daughter will hold up until she gets home. I like it when you talk about your life and family.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Wonderful! Because it sure helps me. ❤️

[@kerryhoward2785]

Oh gosh, just want to give you a big hug, these mums are buggers ! Mines 90 and stiĺl living in rural Australia, driving everywhere and full of Sass xxxx biggest hugs to your mum , and keep on being such an inspiration to all of us potters out here !.,! Xxxxx hug hug hug .....

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Yes, those moms. It's really hard trying to parent them!

[@MOLLIMEDIA]

It’s amazing how one can endure great emotional stress by pouring positive energy into the act of creation. Your love is imbued into the clay you form. Everything you touch is joyful and magical. 🌹

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahh, thank you. Doing something creative is the best medicine for stress.

[@lindagoesel3815]

❤❤❤❤& prayers for you and your family. Stay strong and get some rest. You are not the strongest right now either. Beautiful work. Wedding decorations will be gorgeous. Love that you're back to full speed.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you. And I'm nowhere close to full speed. Watch out when I am. 😀

[@mandyowen4892]

Glad your mum is on the mend. The donut is stunning and it’s great to see you back.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you.

[@carolmayer8138]

I'm so glad your mom is going to be ok. The vases are stunning! Hope you get some much needed rest!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you.

[@micheledickey4066]

I am so glad your mom is ok and that your daughter was able to convince her to get the care she needed! I haven’t traveled much so I had never really thought about travelers insurance but my gosh I can’t imagine how much that would all cost in a different country that doesn’t take your insurance!! I’m also glad you’re able to talk to us and share your life. It’s so important to have that outlet, especially with all you have had going on. My gosh these vases are ABSOLUTELY STUNNNING!!! Wow! I was so nervous when you put the vase on its side! lol. I can’t believe all the things I learned just from one video! Sometimes we get stuck in a way of doing something and we don’t realize there might be an easier or different way to do it! Thank you sooo very much for all you show us and teach us it has made such a difference in my work!

[@marycarolyn1293]

Because you share what’s going on in your life is probably why I think of you as a friend even though we’ve never met. We’re a lot alike that way. I hope your mom is home soon and heals quickly. You’re both lucky your daughter was with her. And OMG! Those donut vases are gorgeous!!! You may have challenged us but I’m not there yet. I’m really looking forward to the baskets. And I hope you get a lot of sleep tonight.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahh, thank you!

[@Liseliselpottery]

Praying for a speedy recovery for your Mom! Also for some much needed sleep for yourself! I love that you are real and can be yourself, part of why I love your videos! Your wedding vases are so so beautiful, the prairie rose is definitely my favourite! I’m a prairie girl, always will be! Thank you for sharing, see you soon. 🌸🌸🌸

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahh, thank you!

[@anasclayhouse]

Oh Tiffany, I’m glad your mom got the medical attention she needed there and how stressful it is. Prayers for a quick recovery. I loved your vases!!! I have seen the wedding vases before but have never attempted to make one. They are gorgeous with the flowers!❤❤❤

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you!

[@carolynpollack1083]

Hi. First, I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't have a problem with you telling us about you and your family. It makes me think of you as a friend. Hopefully, your mum will make a full recovery. It's good she had your daughter with her. Also, hope your knees are healing well. These vases are stunning. I love them. The detail is amazing. Like you, I love knowing the history behind things. I find it really interesting.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahh thank you! Pottery history is fascinating.

[@nancy173]

Hi Tiffnie..sorry to hear about your mom, wishing your mom a speedy recovery..thank goodness for her daughter being there..hope u get some sleep tonite..your wedding vases are so beautiful..love watching you..

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you.

[@crystallarson5872]

Hugs! I get the stress that comes with medical emergencies. Thank goodness that your daughter was there and made your mom go get medical treatment in time.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Yes!

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Absolutely stunning! You are the Dame of Donuts! 🥰 Lost of positive vibes you and your loved ones! 🍀🍀🍀

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you.

[@patspotpage]

OMG woman! Your family just needs to cut it out! I'm glad your mother is doing better. You guys have been through the wringer! Challenge accepted on the donut vase. I'll probably work on that tonight if I have time after handling the mugs I threw last night. I'm already brainstorming the decorations. They won't compare with your beautiful versions, but I'll give it a shot. Take care of yourself. You're still healing from surgery yourself, and need that sleep to let your body heal. Sending good mojo to you and your family!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank, Pat. It was fun seeing you on Matthew Kelly's live. Such a fun pottery community.

[@BarbaraBlanc-xl8ns]

All 3 are very beautiful. Marina will have a tough time choosing. Thanks for the get well thoughts. You are a super great daughter and person. Love you. 💖💖

[@corryg6403]

I hope your mom gets better soon and everything works out well for you all, love the vases.I had a dog who loved eating wild rose hips after the 1st freeze. Well berries of any sort lol if i was picking them he would pick his own too,

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahh, what a fun dog. Rose hips are so healthy for you too.

[@lindakitz3246]

I just watched the video, loved it Hope everything is good with you mom and you have got some sleep

[@pammartin7160]

OMG, your family has had so much this year! I hope your mom is on the road to recovery and your daughter can hold it all together and get them home safely. When everybody is back on their feet maybe they will be able to do another trip together…and maybe you will join them. Of course I’ve never met you, but I imagine the three of you could have a lot of fun. 😊 The wedding vases are stunning!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you. Yes, our family works hard and plays even harder. 😀

[@maureenyoung1111]

Love your videos. Hope your Mom heals quickly. 🩷🌷🩷

[@SuesOriginals]

I’ve made donuts into teapots but not in a while. The last one I did I “pit fired” in my old Weber BBQ. It looked like a snake so I called it Sofia Tea Godess and entered into the county fair. To my utter surprise it won a silver award! I must do another one as a wedding vase. I love doing the donuts too.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

That's wonderful!

[@andreamcveety8193]

Glad to hear your mom is going to be ok.

[@janlewis9099]

Gosh what a scare!!!! So glad your mum is getting better in hospital and she was with your daughter at the time. Fingers crossed for a quick recovery🤗 These vases are amazing just up my street I love making flowers....I just have to learn how to throw a doughnut vase...what a challenge!! Keep safe and healthy too GET SOME SLEEP!!!🤗

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you. Yes, these donut are fun, give them a go. You might surprise yourself, at the very least, you'll learn something. 😀

[@katlady5000]

That is scary. I hope your mom has a quick recovery. I'm glad your daughter was able to get her to the ship doctor and the hospital. Those vases are beautiful. I love all your tutorials. I'm looking forward to seeing the basket tutorial. 🙂🙂

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you!

[@Scrapqueen65]

I am so happy to hear your mom is on the mend. I hope you get some rest and don’t be too hard on your mom. She was enjoying herself and that’s important… Just not as important as her health😂😂😂. I love these vases. I have a cheap wheel with no bat pins so I can’t really throw these donuts yet. Although, maybe I just won’t make them as big as yours! That’s an idea! But they are so beautiful and will make perfect wedding gifts! Thank you for another awesome video! You are the best!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Yes, go for smaller. You can also drill the wheel head and add bat pins so you can throw in bats. And thank you.

[@valminer6823]

I can see your Stress and anxiety decrease as you work on this vase. Each time you stop to talk about the situation you get worked up again. ❤ Your family is blessed to have your help. Please allow yourself to rest and recover.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you.

[@LaLaArtStudio]

I have just started learning to make things with clay, and I absolutely LOVE it ☺️ 💖 makes my soul sing 💕💫 I was actually watching this video a few days after it was uploaded , but I didn't get to finish it 😕😔 because I fainted while I was walking to the bedroom from the bathroom and shattered my left shoulder!! I was taken to the hospital 🏥 While examining my injury the doctors👀🧑🏽‍⚕️ said they found some major blockages in my carotid arteries & in my heart 🫀 😮😢 So after open heart surgery, stints in my neck and a pacemaker I'm now home and recovering...❤️‍🩹...5 weeks later; 🗓️ OH I still have a shattered shoulder that cannot be REPLACED for another 3 months; until I have completed the blood thinners that I have to take to keep the stints open 😮 🤦🏼‍♀️ SO MUCH PAIN !!! AND I WANT TO PLAY WITH CLAY SO BADLY 🙏🏼 🏺🪴 I just LOVE this so MUCH!! SO...for now...I can live vicariously through you LoL 🤣 and continue to learn.🙏🏼☺️ I enjoy your vids❤ Ange

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Oh, Ange, I'm sooo sorry, but what a blessing. That fall saved your life! We'll be back at it soon and we'll appreciate the clay even more. Sending healing thoughts. 💓

[@LaLaArtStudio]

@@hobblecreekpottery yes, for sure saved my life, call It the universe, call it God, call it what you will, but I absolutely believe that it was to serve a purpose, I would not have gone to the hospital or the doctors because we have all believed that they it was symptoms from the multiple sclerosis so we didn't even think of heart issues.... Big hugs and healing energy to you and your mom also, my dear, may we get dirty as soon as we are able 🤞🏼 💫🙏🏼

[@sharonpieri1896]

Just went thru something similiar, my best friend was on a world cruise and 2 weeks in to a 5 month cruise she contacted Dengue fever from the zamazon. Ended up in hospital in granada that you had to furnish your own tp and water! Home now...ditched the cruise still recouping.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Yikes! Sure makes you rethink long travel. I know I'll never travel without travel insurance in the future!

[@Kera.S.]

Glad to hear things are going better with your mom and your daughter was able to get her medical care! Love these soo much! I think the 3rd one is my favorite but gosh it's hard to choose!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you!

[@walkerpottery9296-Natalie]

Thank you for the update on your family. Makes me feel like part of the fam. One positive from the negative is that your knee isn’t your major focus. You’re getting around much easier. Year 3 here making pots & I think it’s time I try making some donuts! What kind of knife do you use for cutting holes? It seemed to move through your clay like butter. Hugs for you!! 🤗💜

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you. The knife is just one of those hole makers I've found over the years. It's probably less about the knife and more about the dryness of the clay. Too wet, and it makes a mess, too dry, and you risk cracking the piece. Give the donut a try!

[@sharonpieri1896]

Over head light not necessary. Looks clear.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

I was thrilled to see that when I edited the footage. When filming, it looked so dark, I was worried.

[@buttermilkbaysoap9416]

The last thing your mom needs is you to focus on her stubbornness. You have no idea the level of pain she was in! Seriously!The infection is life changing. 100 ❤times worse than childbirth labor or a broken bone. Let me put your mind at ease…Her refusal to seek help is the last thing you will ever need to worry about with kidney stones. She will make the right decision. The pain forces you too. Try to focus on what your mom must be going through instead of making it about you and your lack of sleep.

[@gilasade5079]

are u going to speak seramic

[@gilasade5079]

why long story.

[@sandybachmann8673]

I heard you mentioned @LearnedFiredArts. I ordered some stuff from them a month ago. I sent several emails, made a couple of phone calls (mailbox was full) and haven’t heard back from anyone. No tracking info. Nothing! How do I find out what’s up with my order?

[@evelineherber256]

Oh my godness ❤️‍🩹 I wish your family all the best 🐞🍀. I know what you're talking about. Last year on February 3, 2023 my partner had a very serious heart attack. He was in a coma until the 11th and had to be resuscitated on the 6th. Only 5% survive this type of heart attack. He was in the hospital for 1 month, then 1 month in REHA. In the summer he had kidney stones, 2 operations, etc. I feel with you. Get well soon💝 I'm thinking of you. Eveline

[@hobblecreekpottery]

I'm so sorry you both had to go through that ordeal. Wonderful that it had a happy outcome. ❤️
