Yesterday however, started out with a lot of clouds… but with an opening for sunrise potential. A sliver of color along the horizon, striking at first… and soon enough, our only hope for a sunrise as the clouds moved in!

Not much of a sunrise today. Just a lot of clouds & wind… and GRAY.
Not so pretty, unless you’re into neutrals. Personally, I prefer a bit more COLOR!!!

ART IN THE GARDEN
A wonderful grassroots art fair thrown together by a bunch of talented friends & artists. So much fun to have a smaller event that gives everyone time to chat, hang out and really get to see everything! Plus, several of the artists are working on collaboration projects with each other… an opportunity to work together and mix medias that don’t always get to play together! So much fun to see what everyone comes up with. We hope you can join us this weekend, September 7th & 8th from 10:00am-5:00pm in Glenview, Illinois.

After a bit of detailing with colored flashing slips, these ornaments are now drying
and ready for a bisque kiln. They will then be carefully propped-up on a little
handmade tripods in the soda kiln.

Looks like Cory McCrory has yet another trick up her sleeve… as if she weren’t busy enough… she’s “upping” the cute factor of our collaboration project and pushing it over the top!!! Can’t wait to see where this takes us…

but that’s the easy part. For after trimming… comes handles!!!
