Today these ( or very similar) and other works went on a field trip to @fieldtripbalhannah in the Adelaide Hills. Omg to say I’m excited about it is an understatement. This is the most gorgeous shop in the hills full of so much goodness 😍 and now to be part of their treasure chest is unbelievable. I’m so blessed with the Adelaide shops and galleries that stock my work, I can’t believe I get paid to do what I love! Thank you! ❤️🙏❤️ . . . #fieldtripbalhannah #adelaidehills #madeinsouthaustralia #designershop #adelaidehillsshopping #shoplocalsa #ceramiclove #ceramicillustration #isabel_lopes_artist #adelaideartist #madeinsouthaustralia #adelaidemade #australianchristmas #handmadegifts🎁 #giftswithlove #designerchristmas #australianceramics #australianmadegifts (at Field Trip Balhannah) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClvS_HTpMR1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is the 1st day of summer in Australia, let’s hope it’s a good one. This bud holder is inspired by what I call ‘the seagull man’, there’s a man who comes to Aldinga beach everyday in a Ute and the seagulls flock to him. Some even rest on his arms. So heartwarming to see such bond. 🪶☀️⛱ . . . #aldingabeach #southaustralianbeaches #seagullseverywhere #ceramicsculpture #budvase #ceramicbudvase #simplicity #contemporaryceramicsculpture #isabel_lopes_artist #adelaideartist #adelaidemade #artisanmade #fleurieupeninsula #summervibes #australiansummer #coastallife #coastalhomedecor #ceramicarts (at Aldinga Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClnaVydJJnd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m looking for the whales 🐳… these bud holders are almost sold out ( one left that I’m saving for a special thing) but I’m making some more this week. I’m loving the blue and white , still part of my obsession with old Portuguese tiles and the traditional delft Dutch tiles. . . . #delftdutc #ceramicsculpture #ceramicbudvase #potterylove #handmadeceramics #australianceramics #handpainted #handpaintedceramics #isabel_lopes_artist #adelaideartist #blueandwhiteforever #adelaidemade #ceramicsaustralia #ceramicartist #ceramicsdesign #slowlifestyle #designermaker #ceramicwhale (at South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CljwOiMhOYl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These little hooded plovers flew out into new homes and they were so much fun to make… my hands will be busy making more of them. I love these birds and they nest here in Aldinga beach amongst other places. . . . #aldingabeach #southaustralianbeaches #hoodedplover #birdslifeoz #coastalbirds #ceramicbirds #ceramicsculpture #beachlifevibes #isabel_lopes_artist #adelaideartist #adelaidemade #australianbirds #ceramicart #ceramicstudio #fleurieupeninsula #madeinsouthaustralia #birds_adored #contemporaryceramic (at South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClfylPPJmzL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you to @bowerbird.au for organising such a great weekend! ❤️ The bird bath sculptures were a hit! Thank you so much to everyone who stoped by at @bowerbird.au during the weekend. I am now going to make some more of these birds in swimming suits amongst other things. I never thought that a little idea I had almost a decade ago, a play on the words ‘bird bath’ starting with watercolour illustrations of cheeky birds in swimming suits would grow and eventually become a 3D sculptural piece of art. And my head is spinning with ideas for them as I don’t want to make them all looking the same , the possibilities are endless! Have a great week lovely people 😘 . , . #birdbath #ceramicsculpture #artistsupport #birdloversofinstagram #birdwatchers #playfulart #whimsicalart #ceramicart #isabel_lopes_artist #adelaideartist #adelaidemade #fleurieupeninsula #southaustralianmade #madeinaustralia🇦🇺 #australiancomtemporaryart #comtemporaryceramics #handmadeceramic (at Adelaide, South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cle4LCiSnJx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have been wanting to make this bud holder for ages… there are echidnas near where I live, at the Aldinga scrub , but I have never seen them in the wild. I keep going there hoping to see one but so far no luck. Till then I’ll sculpt some 🤷‍♀️ … this one is going with me to @bowerbird.au design market with me on Friday and the weekend. . . . #echidna #australiananimals #ceramicsculpture #ceramicbudvase #echidnavase #ceramicart #ceramics #cerâmica #isabel_lopes_artist #adelaidemade #bowerbirddesignmarket #adelaidedesign #adelaide #supportlocal #australiandesign #natureinspired #handmadeinadelaide #ceramiclifestyle (at South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClS5SWapgck/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
