Looks like Julie is kicking off a little Teapot Tuesday with a stamped & soda-fired teapot… and a couple “vintage” mugs from a few years back!!! A sweet little Tea For Two!!!

Looks like Pammy is kicking it back on the sofa, warming up with her new stamped mug she picked up this weekend in Peoria! A sweet “juicy” blue soda-fired mug for another Mugshot Monday!

Okay, so I’ve done a little touching-up… no more drips running over the edge, and a clean-wiped line around the rims. Next up… wadding and perhaps a touch of colored glazes here & there for a fun pop of color?!!! Who knows? … so many mugs, so many options!

So I’ve finally started glazing these combo mugs! Since they’re going to be soda-fired, I pretty much need to just put a liner glaze inside, and then hope that the soda-kiln atmosphere makes all the “magic” happen! They were all dipped in colored flashing slips before bisque firing… so there should be some fun colors when they come back out of the kiln!

So I’ve unloaded the bisque kiln and now I’ve got just a bit of glazing to do. These are more of my new “wheelthrown-handbuilt-combo” mugs. They’re all ready to go… but I might tackle these tomorrow! Seems a little daunting right now?! I’ve got time… my next soda-firing is still a ways away!

And for those of you who just want to see a lot of mugs… here you go… individual shots of the latest batch! What better way to celebrate another MUGSHOT MONDAY than with a lot of mugs?!

Celebrating with LOTS of mugs… my new “wheelthrown-handbuilt-combo” mugs with some fun textures all around! Drying now… as they’ve all been dipped in some soda flashing slips. So when they finally get fired in my next soda kiln, they should get some fun colors & dramatic flashing effects!

So I finished up another batch of stamped mugs tonight… adding the handles in “a bit of a rush” so I could skip out early for some evening ice cream fun with friends!!! Feels good to have the mugs done & under plastic overnight… feels even better to have had my fill of Lickity Split frozen custard!!!

Here we go again…
making more handles… making more MUGS!!!
My favorite thing to make!

With a nice stamped & soda-fired mug…
and some spring blossoms still looking great in a “matching” ikebana vase!
