Working on some special holiday ornaments commissioned by the Kevin Bushell Foundation. So I’ve been making ornaments based on the stylized anchor from the Foundation’s logo. I decided to use a stencil and blue underglaze to “paint” the anchor logo onto the ornaments. When these ornaments are done, the Foundation will be using them as part of their fundraising efforts for local students, schools & teachers.

Special thanks to Scott Hayner from United Graphics for creating the stencils for me to use on this very special project!

So I’ve been working on a little commission project… making some very special ornaments for a very special cause… and getting a little “weighed-down” by the process!

Just a few wheelthrown ornaments looking for their forever home…
err, forever Christmas Tree!!!

HUGE THANKS to everyone who made it to The Cozy Cottage Friday & Saturday! We had a great time seeing everyone… err, well their safely masked eyes & foreheads anyways?! So much fun hanging out all day with a couple of My Talented Friends. Thanks to everyone who came to The Cottage!

Also found some time to add wire rings to my newest batch of double star ornaments… getting ready for next weekend’s MY HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS HOME SHOW!!!

Mark your calendars… next Saturday 11/20 & Sunday 11/21.
More details to come…

Doing a little cleaning, prepping & getting ready to add wire rings to another batch of soda-fired star ornaments. Planning on having a bunch of these ready for this weekend’s COZY COTTAGE POP-UP… fun for everyone Friday night & all day Saturday!!!

Another batch of Christmas ornaments headed into the bisque kiln… and then some quick glaze accents and into next weekend’s soda kiln!

Working on another batch of wheelthrown Christmas ornaments… throwing off-the-hump again. Waiting for these to dry-up just a bit before I stamp some patterns on them.

It’s early October… but it’s never too early to make another batch of holiday star ornaments, right?!

And while the pumpkins are “quick-drying”… I decided I had time for a few more pieces of kiln filler. Just a quick batch of textured stars to become Christmas ornaments after soda firing this weekend! Never too soon, right?!

With the recent cold-spell & dusting of April snow, it seemed oddly appropriate to crank-out another batch of Christmas ornaments!!! I love making them… but I LOVE Summer more!!! I’m kinda done with the cold weather.
