A splash of color. A smudge of fun.
zColorful glazes on terra cotta… all part of SUMMER CAMP FUN!!!

Looks like it might be SPIRAL SUNDAY?!
You know how much I love a good spiral… and this plate is REALLY showing off!!!

Some fun stamping & colorful green glazes that pool & puddle in all the right places. Sometimes you just need a pop of color to brighten your day! Well THAT day might just be this Friday at 8:00am… when each of these pieces show up in my new ETSY SHOP as part of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR.

Feeling a little “blue”?… or needing a little “yellow” pick-me up?! Well, these bowls will be available this weekend on my new ETSY SHOP… starting Friday morning at 8:00am! Just a little hint of things to come… get ready for the big NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR this weekend… www.northernilpotterytour.com

Okay, so I may have gotten a little reckless with the glazing of this berry bowl. The lime glaze did a bit of running & sealed up a few of the drainage holes. Sue me!

But I figure someone might still love it… especially when they realize it might make a nice stained glass window at the same time?! Double-duty pottery?

Who knows, I might be onto something here???

Well, my studio cart is all glazed, wadded & full…

…with masking tape “seat belts” in place for the arduous journey downstairs via the rickety old freight elevator! Always hoping for no jumpers or speed bumps!!!

A few oval vases glazed & ready for soda-firing… just need some wadding! I think these might be the last pieces to be glazed… getting ready to start loading soon.

Back to glazing… as I’m nearing the end. Lidded jars glazed… inside the jar & inside the stamps! Next up… soda-resistant wadding on the bottoms & lids.

Celebrating another MUGSHOT MONDAY with this little green glazed mug… stamped on two sides instead of all the way around. Just playing around trying something new?!

Celebrating with another batch of mugs… this time for a quick special order. My fingers are crossed as the request is to “match” an older mug from a previous firing. Of course I didn’t keep notes on what I did for that first mug… so I’m kinda flying by the seat of my pants and “hoping” that I have the color combos right?! The blue color is a soda flashing slip, and the brown liner glaze is tenmoku. I’m just hoping that these work out… and “match” as much as any soda-fired piece can!!!
