Adding a swirl of color! Okay, so I can’t stop myself with just a swirl. So I did cover the entire flared flange area of the plates with a full, smooth layer of colored slip. Some green, some blue, some red & some black! Looking forward to some fun carving & sgraffito!!!

Finally some green… even if we can only enjoy it in between the rain clouds. I’ll take it…

So excited to see GREEN outside today! The weather is amazing today in the low sixties!!! The sun is out, the snow is gone, the ice has melted!!! And the moss is here!!! Sure… we live in Chicago and we’re bound to get snow again any day now!!! But until then… grab it while you can!!!

Gotta love when the sun comes streaming in… and a prism rainbow lands perfectly on some vases on the shelves in my dining room! So much fun… makes me think it’s warm & sunny outside?… well, one out of two ain’t bad!!!

Thank goodness for big bags of recycled bubble wrap!!! Today’s a packing & shipping day… always better with recycled supplies! Well that, and the bright colors streaming through Retta Hentschel’s beautiful stained glass piece in my window!!!

So many leaves are on the ground. So many colors. So many textures.
I love Fall… I just don’t like that it ends too soon!!

Looks like Matthew is supporting his favorite team… and going GREEN ON GREEN!!!
Healthy greens in a stamped & soda-fired bowl.

Got some colors… got some slips… time to start painting some holiday lights!

Fall is here… and ORANGE is my favorite color! So I’m excited that my back porch has taken on a new autumn appearance! Thanks to the folks at ART IN THE BARN who decorate the art fair grounds with mums, pumpkins & gourds…and then sell them off at the end as a fundraiser for the hospital auxiliary board. I was there for it… I mean… ORANGE !!!

Celebrating a little Texture Tuesday with these great bi-color leaves. No idea what they are… most likely a weed… as they’re growing along the railroad tracks across from Lillstreet Art Center!
