Getting ready to add some stamped textures & patterns on these mugs! But the real question is “which” of the stamps should I use??? Too many choices as I have literally hundreds… maybe even thousands?.. of my own handmade stamps!!!

You know how much I love rusty metal…
so this is PERFECT for another Texture Tuesday!!!


I spy with my little eye… somewhere deep in the lush greenery, I see one of my wheelthrown ornaments. While most people use them for Christmas trees… looks like Cheryl enjoys hers year-round when it’s hanging on her outdoor pergola. Even more amazing when it is being engulfed by some beautiful purple hyacinth bean vines!!! Thanks for showing off your garden Cheryl.

When the brother of one of your loyal customers has a bad morning!!!
Apparently not every Monday is a “happy” Mugshot Monday!!!

A great collection of my handmade “Ghouls” gearing up for the Halloween season!
Thanks for sharing your collection Diane!!!

Celebrating a little Mugshot Monday with a beautiful collection of Fall blooms… gathering before the first big frost hits us! Thanks for sharing your beautiful bouquet Kelly!

More than ten pieces wheelthrown before 10:00am… this time another batch of mugs in the works!!! These ones will be glazed… so I added some textured bands around the top for the glaze to puddle & pool in!!!

Looks like my combo “wedding & baby shower” gift was much appreciated… which I kinda expected for a purple pottery fan!!! Congratulations to Allison & Michael as they await the birth of their new baby any day now!!!
