–here a frame, there a frame
Striking a fine balance within all the many tasks involved with making art is something we are often in pursuit of. (wow, I really have to catch my breath after that sentence…). Recently, we allotted the time for a bit of woodwork again. ***…
–Francois makes a statement
Tracy and her rabbits… When she went through her “bunny phase” (it happens to all of us…eventually), she made these wonderfully silly and delightful rabbits, set in a variety of scenes where their rabbit-ness was très coy and subtle. These early designs are some of…
–newest work from Tracy
Soozee here…to introduce some new ideas from Tracy. I love her recent imagery–so full of allegory and wit. I also appreciate how our styles are a little different but complimentary to one another. Using the same process and sharing a color palette allows our…
–late summer work
We recently filled the kiln with a fresh load of bisque ware (from wet clay to a hard, fired piece that has a high “tink” when you flick it). We quickly followed that up with a glaze-load brimming with new designs, along with some…
–tile twin powers
Tracy and I have often remarked on how many similarities we share. It is part of our schtick to claim our twinhood even though it is not really possible… medically speaking. We figure we can have our little illusions, as long as we function…

–Tracy, you’ve been busy!
Please enjoy a brief stroll through the latest tile work of Tracy Chamberlin. Tracy here. Just wanted to share a few new tile with all y’alls. It’s a bit of a smorgasbord…minus the pickled herring of course, which if you’ve never tried it you…
–framed and ready to hang
The framing business has been booming. Who knew? Making ceramic tile gives us so many options, once again. One could look at it as a one-dimensional art form but we see it as having endless possibilities–not only in the process part (which is incredibly…
–release the hounds
Dogs, dogs, DOGS! We’re pretty fond of dogs around here. As I think I have mentioned in another part of this blog, Tracy and I have walked on about 95% of the streets within the city of Sierra Madre. Before we dive into our…
–donated finished product
Ramona Paloma Studios has donated their newly framed pieces to a fund-raiser for the Sierra Madre Library. These pieces may be seen at: The 41st Wine and Cuisine Tasting and Silent Auction, hosted by the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library. It will be…
