Beautiful architecture and ornamentation in the Cadillac Palace Theater.
So ornate… they don’t make ’em like this any more.

Old school glamour in the downtown theater. Some may even say it’s a bit too much?!

“Come and meet, those dancing feet. On the avenue they’re taking you to…”

Great show tonight at the Cadillac Palace Theater with my friend Pam.
Great fun to see a wonderful musical revival with so much sparkle & tapping.
An old-school Broadway musical relying more on songs & talent than staging spectacle.
So much fun!!!

A sneak peek at the new Ferris Wheel being built at Navy Pier.

So in case you missed it the first, second, third or seventh time I mentioned it…
now you can read my recent article in POTTERY MAKING ILLUSTRATED.
And then be ready to throw some clay on the walls!!!

The morning bike ride started out with another BIG cloud hovering low. Luckily, the wind blew it out pretty quick so we got a bit of a pastel sunrise… before the next wave of clouds blew in for the rest of the day.

Finally got all the parts of my class demo teapot assembled…
and then did a little detailing with some colored flashing slip.

The latest addition to my already overflowing Mug Collection!
This beauty was made by my friend & potter Catherine Tweedie.
The beautiful soda-fired surface accentuates her “numerical obsession” quite nicely.
Perfect for Mugshot Monday!

That one big cloud blowing through this morning requires one big photo!

With a warming trend passing through, this morning was beautiful. It felt so good not have all the clothing layers on. Still a bit “breezy”… and by breezy, I mean WINDY!! And don’t even mention that one big cloud blowing in!!
