Not much of a cloud show today… just a thick layer of clouds lying low on the horizon. With a delayed sunrise, it was more “about the bike” for today’s photo shoot. Had to do something to keep them interesting, right? Otherwise it would have been just a dark cloud band & some water?!

Rolling… curling… vertical-izing(?) … attaching… repeat.
Adding the handbuilt sides onto some new hybrid mugs!

Time for a textured slab … thanks to the great handrollers from MKM Pottery Tools!
Great designs always with clean & crisp edges! Love ‘em!!!

Here we go again… another batch of “hybrid mugs” just starting up!!!

The waves have settled down & we finally got some smooth rippled reflections. A quiet morning along the lake… no wind, no waves, no drama. Just a beautiful sunrise ride!

Looks like my cousin Kim has some happy plants… especially that clover plant that’s thriving in a handmade & stamped flower pot!

Another splashy morning along the lakefront. Humid & hazy to start… only to be overshadowed by some fun waves splashing up & over the “cement beach” along Oak Street Beach.

Celebrating a little Texture Tuesday with layers of paint, rust & who knows what else???…
love it … plus, orange is my favorite color!!!

Sure, we finally got some beautiful sunrise reflections… but I’m getting a little tired of this Canadian wildfire haze still hanging around Chicago. The hazy horizon, the delayed sunrise & the glowing red sun. It was cool at first… but I’m ready for some clear skies & colorful clouds again! Just sayin’…

Celebrating NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DAY
with a quick snack after teaching class.

And thinking of my Mom who used to bring homemade cookies
to almost every art fair!!! Such sweet memories…
