I was recently inspired by Chris Campbell’s Work with Italian Villas for Garden’s  .http://neriagechris.blogspot.com/2009/06/50-clay-50-re-cycled-glass-project.html   Check out her web site!  She uses 50% clay and 50% re cycled Glass in her Yard Art.  She is AMAZING!

I have been working on Canisters in sets of 3 and thought about Chris’s Villas.  I am working on making 3 Villas that you can store food in like flour,spaghetti,etc.  They won’t have holes in the windows more functional.

I made a roller for the Brick texture and I didn’t want it to be even all the way around, more rustic and OLD WORLD.

I used the stair step from my ladder for the roof tile work texture.  Anyway, I have 3 different villa’s in mine for these storage canisters.  Hummmm the glaze maybe BRIGHT ITALIAN colors?
