Porcelain cylinders need porcelain handles to make them into porcelain mugs, right?! So this morning I’m making some handles out of these little nuggets of porcelain.

HAPPY MUGSHOT MONDAY…
with my stamped & soda-fired mug that woulda, coulda, shoulda.

Let the trimming begin!!!…
and have I mentioned lately that I LOVE trimming?! Yep, I do.

Just a little morning stamping session… adding a few impressed patterns & textures into the simple porcelain cups! Many of which “might” just turn into mugs fairly soon… allegedly…

Today is the first day of March, and therefore also the first day of MUG MADNESS on Instagram. It’s a fun mug competition hosted by Saltstone Ceramics. Two “team captains” picked their teams and now there will be daily “battles” on their Instagram feed… top vote-getters move on to the next bracket until there’s a winner. Sadly, I was chosen as an Alternate… perhaps #65??? So close… but didn’t quite make the cut. It will still be fun to play along as MUG MADNESS starts today!!! Be sure to follow their daily Instagram Stories to play along!!!

Fresh from the kiln… a few more soda-fired mugs coming out of the kiln tonight to celebrate another Mugshot Monday!

Just doing a little early morning glazing…
yes, on a “different” set of mugs than the ones I finished making last night!

Just finished painting some accents of colored flashing slip on this latest batch of mugs. Now they can dry & prepare for their first trip to the kiln!

Another night… another two dozen mugs!!!
Happy Mugshot Monday… making my favorites!!!
Now just for a little clean-up & colored slip accents tomorrow.

Score… slip… attach… repeat… repeat… repeat…
