All handles attached… whew!!!…
another dozen mugs done & ready for drying, firing, glazing & firing again!

Most people hate making handles… pulling them, scoring, slipping & attaching them. I might be one of the few who LOVE making mugs! In fact, if I were only allowed to make one form for the rest of my pottery career… it would be MUGS!!!

Gotta love getting those perfect spirals when trimming…
especially with my DiamondCore Tools trimming tool.

Just a little early morning stamping in the studio!
Some sweet little bowls… now even sweeter with some textured patterns!

More than ten pieces thrown before 10:00am… this time more wheelthrown holiday ornaments!!! Cute little “finial” ornaments thrown off-the-hump!

Tonight’s pottery class was full of tricks & treats! I brought the Halloween “Boo” OREOs… especially intrigued by the “glow in the dark” note in the corner. I sure hope they meant the packaging, and not the OREOs?!!!

We also had tiramisu & vanilla remix OREOs from the Netherlands & cinnamon bun OREOs from Canada! Thanks to Allison & Andrew for the imported cookies!!!

All stamped for some fun textural surface decoration. Fun places for the glaze to play with when they eventually get fired… in time for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!

Getting ready to add some stamped textures & patterns on these mugs! But the real question is “which” of the stamps should I use??? Too many choices as I have literally hundreds… maybe even thousands?.. of my own handmade stamps!!!

You know how much I love rusty metal…
so this is PERFECT for another Texture Tuesday!!!

My friend Kristen finally got around to decorating for the holiday… or maybe more for the “season”??? Either way, my pumpkins with her handmade carved flowerpot look pretty great together!!! Festive yet reserved… just like my friend Kristen!!!
