Etsy Limelight Giveaway: Harriet Damave

Today we have a new store in the Etsy Limelight! I am excited to introduce you to

Harriet Damave

Harriet creates beautiful designs to wear and to decorate your home with. This is her second Etsy store. You can also find her incredible work here. She is a talented artist. Let's learn a little more about Harriet straight from her!


What inspired you to start your shop?

I decided to open a second shop on Etsy especially for my Delft Blue items because it is such a completely different product from what I sell in my first shop House of Harriet. There I sell mainly on-glazed mugs and plates, a totally different product and technique.
My new shop is all about cobalt oxide. It is a strong and vibrant pigment that loves high temperatures. Painting with cobalt oxide is a lovely adventure; it is a bit like painting with watercolours. The highly absorbing surface of the porcelain makes unexpected things happen. I love that. During the firing, due to the chemical processes not only the colour changes from black to blue, but the drawings start to have there own life. It is ever so exciting to open the kiln after a day. It is a great exercise in patience and it can be amazingly surprising.

What is your favourite item in your shop?
At the moment I like the small impressionist brooches with pictures of delftware on it. Delft on Delft I have called them.


What kind of things do you like to do for fun when you aren't creating for your shop?
Lately I love to draw in the zoo, in nature, or just good old fashioned sketching in little book wherever I go.
I become extremely happy from visits to museums. I was in Madrid in the Prado a while ago, a deeply moving experience that can stay with me for months.
