Another 10×10 CHALLENGE… this time trying to crank out another batch of my hybrid mugs in the next couple days! My next soda kiln is just over a week away… and I hope to get them in. These are the bottom wheelthrown “bases”… more than ten before 10:00am!

A very sad Mugshot Monday… when a favorite hybrid mug meets a tickle-fight foot mixed with a little gravity! Looks like the tickle-fight loser will be buying you a new mug very soon Allyn! Thanks for sharing your grief & anguish.

Looks like Allyn is enjoying her new Valentine’s Day gift! A texured & soda-fired hybrid mug purchased by her loving husband in time for the big day! And in time for today’s Mugshot Monday!

Just another batch of hybrid mugs done & drying… waiting for a bisque kiln some time soon!

One last thing before they dry… I added a layer of colored flashing slip to my batch of hybrid mugs. At some point, these mugs will be soda-fired so they should change to shades of oranges & yellows during the atmospheric firing.

After an afternoon of attaching handles… I now have a new batch of hybrid mugs.
And all of them with the popular coneflower pattern from a MKM Pottery Tools handroller.

They’re coming along nicely… a fresh batch of hybrid mugs in the works!
Next up… trimming, then handles!

A mug full of flowers! Who says a mug has to be just for coffee or tea? I prefer to use them as a vase for pretty flowers. Bright colored anemones, ranunculus & gerbera daisies in a swirly blue hybrid mug. Perfect for another Mugshot Monday!

A little Fall collection gracing the kitchen table… flowers, fruits & veggies, pumpkins & MUGS!!! Another perfect way to celebrate Mugshot Monday!!! Thanks for sharing your autumnal display Kelly!!!

At the end of the workshop, AL and I did a little pottery trade!!! I came home with a great lidded bowl. Where the rim is hollow & perforated so it doesn’t get hot… and a lid that flips over to become a bowl. Again, with hollow & perforated knob so it too does not get hot!!! AL went home with two of my hybrid mugs… not so matchy-matchy… but clearly close enough that they just couldn’t be separated from each other!
