It’s always fun when you see the ART IN THE GARDEN collaborations get some lovin’ & find a new home! Like these three platters that I made with my “cohort in collaboration“ Cory McCrory! Thanks to Kristin, Donna & The Molloy Family… looks like little redhead Maddie has a new favorite too!!

There are still a couple collaborations left… if you’re interested, you can contact Cory for more details!

Another collaboration piece at ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend! A sweet stained glass piece by Retta Hentschel with her beautiful colors & style… plus some of my textured clay medallions interspersed throughout. Another fun collaboration!

Cory also brought our collaboration pieces with her to ART IN THE GARDEN… fresh from her kiln! So much fun seeing the finished product. After all of the “teaser” photos… nothing like seeing the real thing!!! Congrats Cory… you knocked it out of the park once again!!!

t’s a fine feathered flock of festivities!!! One last look at them… as my “cohort in collaborations” Cory McCrory glazed them & got them all into a kiln last night. So our collaboration platters will be coming out just in time… most likely still warm while making their debut at ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend in Glenview. There are only six of them… so plan accordingly. They might go fast… first come, first served. No dibs!!!

We’re getting down to the wire… time is running out!!! But my pal Cory McCrory is laser focused on the Finish Line for our ART IN THE GARDEN collaboration platters! She’s been doing some last minute touch-ups… a little scraping here, a little underglaze pencil there & a lot of whimsy & talent everywhere!!!

So it looks like Cory McCrory did a little sumthin’-sumthin’ to our collaboration project last night. Suddenly the platters look a lot different… just gotta trust the process!!! Fingers crossed…

Looking a little “sketchy”!!! There they are… the six platters that I made & stamped… and then handed off to Cory McCrory to add her collaboration magic to them. Looks like we’ve got some feathered festivities going on here!

Just a reminder, these six platters will be making their big debut this weekend at ART IN THE GARDEN in Glenview. There are only six… and they might go fast?! Just sayin’…

More underglaze painting going on at the Cory McCrory studio out in Sandwich, Illinois!
Can’t wait to see these when they’re finished… more colors, more imagery, more FUN!!!

Looks like my “collaboration cohort” Cory McCrory was “laboring” yesterday in her studio on Labor Day! Lots of last-minute projects happening… with everyone getting ready for ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend in Glenview! Just adding a little of her colorful flair & whimsy to a few of my stamped platters!!!

So I’ve dropped some hints… left some clues… alluded to some AITG collaboration projects. Did you catch ‘em?! Well, here’s a more direct approach since ART IN THE GARDEN is just a week away! My “collaboration cohort” Cory McCrory has been working on our pieces very quietly in her studio. I dropped off a few stamped platters with very “plain” interior areas. Cory will be changing that while adding her amazing sense of whimsy & crazy cool color schemes. I can’t wait to see them myself… teaser photos coming soon?!
