Just did a bit of stamping on another plate before heading downstairs to teach class again tonight! One single stamp used over & over again to get the repetitive pattern all the way around the rim.

Working in the studio tonight after Summer Camp. Trying to get caught-up on a bunch of pieces that have been sitting around under plastic for awhile. Finally got around to stamping this platter that was a class demo piece last week. It”s always amazing to me to see how just one handmade stamp can make such a difference!

Looks like someone is kickin’ off the morning with some sweet treats on a couple of stamped plates! Almost a “breakfast of champions”… but where’s the chocolate?!!! Thanks for sharing your pretty pastries Jody.

Looks like it might be SPIRAL SUNDAY?!
You know how much I love a good spiral… and this plate is REALLY showing off!!!

As part of my SURFACE DECORATION end-of-class trading game, tonight I put one of these green plates into the game… still in the category of “something stamped.” And as luck would have it, Christine went home with a green stamped plate… and I went home with her stamped mug!!! Go figure!

A simple stamped perimeter making it a not-so-simple dinner plate…
and the handmade stamp that did most of the work!

Two days later… and this is all that’s left of Rosene’s chocolate carrot cake! One piece, a ring of frosting and a pretty stamped platter. Looks like it was a big hit. And more importantly, looks like that last piece would fit in small box to ship off to ME!!! Just sayin’…

But now here’s the REAL DEAL!!!… a chocolate carrot cake layered with raspberry preserves!!! Now THAT’s what I call a “Breakfast Of Champions”!!! Looks so yummy on the stamped platter… but would look even yummier on my fork if I were there!!! I hope they’re sending me some of that yumminess?!

And don’t be fooled…
these are the same people who we’re having that “healthy” fruit salad too!!! Healthy with a chocolate chaser… I totally get it!!!

So while I’m in the studio firing the soda kiln all day today, looks like some of my friends are having a YUMMY morning. Like my pal Sarah who’s enjoying a banana & chocolate chip breakfast bundt cake this morning!!!

So?… if there’s no frosting does that mean the cake is for breakfast???

Keeping with our “yellow theme” this morning…
looks like Sally’s yummy lemon tart cake will make Matthew smile (and maybe pucker-up a bit) for his birthday! Happy Belated Birthday Matthew!!!
