Colorful & whimsical… that’s our Cory McCrory!!!

Looks like her flowers have already come out of the glaze kiln… shining & vibrant. Now they need some stems & then they’ll be all ready for ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend…. although quantities are limited, so come early!!! Oh yeah, and one of my wall vases to put them in!

One last peek at Amy Taylor’s beautiful handiwork for ART IN THE GARDEN. Looks like she’s figured out a way to add a little firefly on top of my cutie-patootie mini vases?! And since Amy is totally enamored by hinges… I think there’s a good chance there will be hinges too! You’ll need to come to Glenview this weekend for ART IN THE GARDEN to see these fun collaborations in person!!!

Limited quantities of these one-of-a-kind pieces… so come early!!!

Just a reminder that this weekend is ART IN THE GARDEN in Glenview… just in case you’ve missed the “one or two” posts I might have shared about it?! It’s a great little grassroots art fair hosted by My Talented Friend Amy Taylor in her backyard. We’re a group of artistic friends pulling together this fun event, working with each other & making some fun collaboration projects along the way! Everything is handmade & one-of-a-kind by the artists themselves. We’d love to see you there… and please bring your friends!!!

While we’re busy sharing sneak peeks… here’s another ART IN THE GARDEN collaboration in the works. So far I see my clay tiles “playing” with Retta Hentschel’s stained glass. And I’ve heard rumor that it “might” then go to woodworker Ken Staggs for his additions to the collaboration?!

I can’t wait to see this one… my first three-way collaboration!!!

Well, ART IN THE GARDEN is just a couple days away, and it looks like my pal Cory McCrory has added some fun underglazes & stains to her whimsical flowers! All part of the collaboration project that we’re working on together!!! Oh, wait… are those chicken feet too???.. those aren’t for me!!!… so I’m guessing that Cory must be doing another collaboration with another artist for next weekend’s show in Glenview!

So all of the colorful collaboration cups are assembled & painted. They still need some stain & glaze loving before they make their “big debut” at ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend in Glenview. At least one more kiln to fire before the weekend to get these cuties done! There’s a limited quantity… so come early to pick out your new friends!

With ART IN THE GARDEN less than a week away, we’re all working quickly to get our collaborations done by this weekend! Looks like Cory is still adding bright colors to her flowers…. making them fun, keeping them whimsical. Love them Cory… can’t wait to see people picking some of your flowers to go in my vases!!!

It’s getting BUGGY around here!!!
Look how cute these little Amy Taylor fireflies are getting!!! You’ll need to come to ART IN THE GARDEN to see them in person… we may just have real fireflies flying around the garden too?!

Once the ADORBS characters were applied to the cylinders, Amy & I started painting them with colorful underglazes… making the characters POP even more… and maybe a little more FUN at the same time?!

Lots of collaborations in the works everywhere. All of the ART IN THE GARDEN artists are frantically working to get their collaboration projects done for next weekend’s grassroots art fair in Glenview!

So after a fun studio visit a few weeks back, metalsmith Amy Taylor added a bit of her whimsy & charm to my stamped cylinders. Again, we’re working on these as a special collaboration project for ART IN THE GARDEN! It’s fun to watch her work in clay for a change… and she’s making them very ADORBS-able!!!
