A beautiful gradation of color to set the tone for the Fall weather we’ve been having lately. I’m not ready yet… I’m still grasping onto Summer for as long as possible!

Big clouds covering the sunrise this morning…
so big that they need a panoramic shot to capture the morning drama.

My that’s a big cloud in the way of the sun this morning.
You know there’s a beautiful sunrise lurking back there somewhere!

Getting off to a good start… throwing simple concave cylinders
that will work perfectly for this year’s ghoul!

Looks like it’s Terra Cotta Tuesday!
With ART IN THE BARN just a couple weeks away, I guess I put these off long enough…
and it’s time to start “ghouling” it up!!!

After an “exhilarating & exhausting” couple days of “Sherpa-ing & spectating” in Madison this weekend, it felt great to get back on my bike to pedal this morning. Great clouds, Incredible colors. Another beautiful sunrise!!!

Clear skies. Beautiful colors. Nice silhouettes.
And quite a few waves crashing over the banks and up onto the bike trail.
A beautiful sunrise ride before heading up to Madison
for what will be a very exciting weekend!

A groovy new installation on the facade of The Violet Hour in Wicker Park.

Carving some leaf patterns through white slip to reveal the darker clay color… and using these great new Zebra Carving Tools by DiamondCore Tools. They seem a LOT sharper and give a much cleaner line! Loving them!!! Plus, the foam grippy thing for comfy holding, and the fact that you can pivot and change the angle of the blade. Genius!

While I sadly consider the “berry season” pretty much over at this point, it is good to know that cherry tomatoes need to be rinsed as well. Thanks to my Cousin David for sharing his bountiful harvest in one of my handmade berry bowls.
