Letting things “roll” with my carved handrollers from MKM Pottery Tools!

So the new postcards are here… the dates are set… and now I gotta get my act together to make a bunch of new pieces for this special gallery show! Including another “collaboration” project with the other artists… each of the four of us making four pieces each to come together at the show!!!

4×4… make sense now?

Yesterday we had crazy cool clouds full of color splashing across the sky. Today, not so much. Pretty much clear skies… with just one cluster of clouds flying low on the horizon. Still beautiful… still warmer… still wonderful!

C’mon now… perfectly STUNNING sunrise moments along the lakefront this morning!!!
Why would you want to stay in bed???

And then sometimes a big morning sky show requires an even bigger panoramic photo!!!

After weeks of freezing temperatures & frozen-slippery roads, it felt great to get out this morning for a beautiful sunrise bike ride. Sure, it may still be January, but the morning was a bit warmer & the sky-show was FANTASTIC!!! Well worth the layers that I had to put on before pedaling off!

Always ready for another holiday…
especially when today is NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY!!!

And I’m sure it’s no surprise… I’m really here just for the FROSTING!!!

Back by popular demand… tonight in my Intermediate Wheel class, we did a stamp-making demo again! And made some fun stamps along the way. Now they just need to dry & be bisqued before we can start to use them!

Last week in our Lillstreet Throwdown class, Stephanie returned to class after spending some vacation time in Taiwan! Sounds like it was a great trip… and oh, but wait there’s more… she brought back OREOs from Taiwan!!! Crispy little tubes not-quite-filled with OREO cream. Thanks Steph!

After years of driving past this beautiful old dilapidated barn on Route 55, it has finally happened. We’ve all been waiting… and waiting… and the weathered cupola has FINALLY slid off the roof of the barn. Gone, but not forgotten.
