Looks like my Cousin Kim’s plants are quite happy & healthy in their handmade flowerpots… and a mug! Probably enjoying some time outside with the rain coming down too! Thanks for sharing Kim!

Another week of Summer Camp done! Ending with a lot of flowerpots with flowers…
and perhaps a stray side-eyed penguin in the mix!!!

Congrats to Maya in my Monday night class… for making these cool bookend flower pots! She came into class & said that she wanted to focus on making flower pots & planters this session. So she has… including these crackled white slip planters! Very cool… and very successful. Thanks for sharing your work Maya!!!

For our class flowerpot trades last session, I went with a “purple-on-purple” theme!
Stamping & glazing my flowerpots & then finding a very thematically-correct plant
to go along with it! You know I live for a good theme!!!

At the end of last session, my SURFACE DECORATION class celebrated with a little “white-elephant-trading-stealing-game” with handmade flowerpots & plants! So much fun to share their work… finished & functioning… for the most part! Some people didn’t quite get through the kiln in time for the big trade!!!

Always good to see a happy plant in a handmade flower pot. Like this terra cotta one that Cory’s neighbor Pam bought during the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… and has already fulfilled its destiny by giving a plant a new home! Thanks for sharing Pam!!!

Looks like “someone” has a lot of trimming to do today… flower pots & drip plates here we come!!!

So I may have been gone for a quick weekend away… but it’s right back in the studio this morning! With another 10×10 challenge… more than ten pieces before 10:00am! This time it’s more flower pots with water drip trays! Stamping still to come… obviously!!!

After I shared my stories, photos & videos of “the wreckage”…
we finally got down for some SURFACE DECORATION last night with textural stamping.
I did a few demos… and it felt great to not think about my car for a couple hours!

Gave my plants a little TLC this weekend… especially the cactus & succulents that get blocked behind the shelves for my Holiday Home Show. They look happy now in their handmade flowerpots… let’s hope they’re still happy a couple months from now when I finally get to take all of the shelving back down?! I mean… they’re cactus, they’ll be fine, right???
