When Rosene sent me this picture of her grocery produce “harvest” on some of my pottery… it looked a little too much like she was setting up a still life to do a painting!!!

So I went ahead and made it for her!!!

So this first “batch” of pottery is all separated, photographed, numbered and ready-to-go… mugs, bowls, vases, pitchers, teapots, berry bowls and more! It’s going to be first-come-first served… so grab ’em as you can! And then I’ll continue to replenish as some of these pieces get shipped out. More details coming VERY soon!

Okay, now that that succulent diversion is completed,
back to the task at hand. Packing up some pottery pieces to ship out today… or maybe tomorrow if I trip upon another tangent today?! No promises.

Just a few more detail shots… stamped & soda-fired.
I’m addicted to the process with the random effects that happen during the firing. Flashing slips. Drippy glazes. Bright colors. Repetitive patterns. All of which can be found on the pitchers & vases that are part of tomorrow morning’s MOTHER’S DAY POTTERY SALE. Handmade gifts are the best… and the flowers you gonna buy her need a good home, right?! The sale starts tomorrow morning on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page at 10:00am CST.
