Another beautiful morning with some great clouds… and even better color!
Looks like it’s going to become a beautiful day as predicted. I’m thinking studio this morning,
and then back on the bike this afternoon for a few more miles!!!

And while my new ovals were setting-up a bit…
I decided to crank out some more kiln filler.
You know how I LOVE KILN FILLER!!!

With my pottery class all working on their ovals for the “end-of-class-challenge”… I figured I had better get started on mine too!!! So I started a batch of lidded oval casseroles tonight. Hoping to get them done in time for the big class exchange!!!

Sunset from the window at Lillstreet Art Center…
and now into the studio for a hopefully productive evening!!!

With a surprising warm spell moving through Chicago, it was great to kick-off the “weekend” with a beautiful sunrise morning. With huge hopes of more great rides as the weekend is predicted to be absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Time to get in some good miles!!!

Painting some colored flashing slip details & accents on a batch of new textured “block” bud vases. Each side of the block has a different textured pattern. These are now drying and waiting for a bisque kiln… destined to make a splash in my next soda kiln. If all goes well, this new design might get “expanded” into a few different sizes & shapes so people can create their own perfect grouping of textured block vases!!!

Another urban sunset on my way to the studio with vibrant colors splashing across the sky. Camera pointed out the car window while crossing the Chicago River on Ashland Avenue.

The “other side” of living Chicago. Clear sky sunrises… and the “cluttered” urban sunset!!!

Another Monday. Another mug. Enough said… enjoy.

Not a cloud in the sky. Just crisp and cool… the start of a very bright day!
