A little fun with glaze… before & after! Loving how the green glaze pools & breaks really well on the hand-stamped texture & concentric circles!

A little fun with glaze… before & after! Loving how the green glaze pools & breaks really well on the hand-stamped texture & concentric circles!
Working on another batch of my “wheelthrown-handbuilt-combo” mugs… trimmed the feet & waiting for handles to be attached!
Made a few friends along the way too! Always fun exploring & getting out of the City once & awhile! They looked happy for a nice Spring day too. Still huddled together but enjoying the blue skies!
Exploring and finding cool things! You know how much I LOVE rusty metal & weathered wood. So imagine how excited I was by this beautifully dilapidated barn out in “the middle of nowhere.” A beautiful day with this beautiful barn… and a fun chat with the farmer who was so nice… even though the “No Trespassing” sign was about three feet away!!!
It was a busy night cranking out a few small dishes… water saucers for some smaller flower pots! Good thing my studio neighbor Karen is out-of-town and left her work table wide open for me to use!

So we kinda “jumped the shark” at the end of Season Four with the turning of the donkey wheel. Flashes of light. Flash forward. Flash back. Flashes… I don’t get it.
“Think of the Island like a record spinning on a turntable…
only now, that record is skipping.”
As I recall… Season Five is the one that made my head hurt a bit. Timing issues. Luckily, we have another season after this get back on track!
