So much fun to see one of my Tuesday Night pottery students “test driving” her new V-tip DiamondCore Tools for the very first time… first time with this tool AND first time carving all together!!! Looks like Jen is off to an AMAZING start… a little carving prodigy in the making!!!

Another chilly morning with a brisk breeze blowing in…
and yet, another BEAUTIFUL sunrise!!!

The extension cord & mega-power strip that disappeared some time yesterday from my studio lighting fiasco “mysteriously” returned today. I may not be an electrician, but I’m pretty darn sure it’s not going to do much good sitting on a clay box like this?! Another great remedy!

Sure, it was cold this morning…
but it felt great to get outside to see this beautiful start to the day!
Luckily, the roads were pretty dry & slush-free too!!!

Celebrating another MUGSHOT MONDAY with another batch of mugs. This time with some dramatic light & shadows… “thanks” again to my ongoing studio lighting dilemma!

Another mug. Another Monday!

And just when I thought the snow was beautiful in Chicago, I get this photo from two of my pottery students currently in Joshua Tree, California. Thank you Jon & Patti for making our Chicago snow “not-so-pretty” real fast.

Your snow is STUNNING!!!
You win!

A beautiful layer of light fluffy snow this morning!

Loving the contrasts of color, texture & positive-negative spaces!
