Hard to believe it’s already October! While I want Summer to last forever… I actually LOVE Fall too. And I’m ready to kick-off October with a big bowl of gourds on the table. Thanks to the folks at ART IN THE BARN for selling off their seasonal decorations at the end of the art fair. I came home with a couple bags of pumpkins & gourds! Although we all know that in a side-by-side contest… GOURDS are so much cooler!!!

Looks like Rosene is enjoying a crisp & juicy summer salad on the this warm & summery Saturday! Looks yummy in that green stamped bowl! Thanks for sharing!

Berries & grapes & watermelon in bowls… oh my! Fresh fruit always tastes better when served in hand,made pottery! Thanks Jody for sharing your fruity feast!

So not only did we have “imported” OREO’s in class… we also had beautiful little OREO BOWLS for our mint OREO’s!!! One of my students made these cute little bowls with underglaze transfer patterns that were perfect for a single serving of OREO’s… or, you could refill it as many times as needed!!! Thanks for sharing your bowls Darcy!

Not just blueberries, but some wonderful cherry tomatoes from the Farmer’s Market too. Perfect as part of my Summer Camp lunches! Love the assorted colors & sizes… looking great in a stamped & glazed bowl… even if I do say so myself?!

On my way home tonight, I stopped off at my local Farmer’s Market. Grabbed some fresh-picked blueberries & more. Beautiful in the late afternoon sun… but even prettier in a handmade pottery bowl!

Just a day later with some “creative” drying under some loose plastic, my latest batch of bowls was ready to stamp. Cute little bowls with cute little stamps!

WHEW!!!… A bunch of mini bowls thrown & ready to be covered with plastic for the night. I wouldn’t want them to dry out tonight while I teach my class.

After summer camp, but before teaching tonight… and I think I can crank out a quick batch of mini bowls. Fingers crossed…

So I’ve taken the group of class demo bowl up to my studio for safe-keeping… and maybe a little stamping & detailing. Allegedly…

So I did in fact do some decorating… you know… MORE IS MORE!!!

So here are the bowls now after a little surface decoration fun…
with some stamping & some further altering of the rims!
