A quick bisque firing… as always a lot of mugs and a few bowls still a little “damp” on top!

Literally “threw together” a couple last-minute masks for this weekend’s soda kiln firing… they make me smile while still racing towards my deadline!

Finishing up some last-minute mugs for another Mugshot Monday! Adding some colored flashing slip accents… and then “speed-drying” them somehow so they can get bisqued, glazed and loaded into the soda kiln this weekend! Fingers crossed!

Porcelain vases thrown this morning & already moving on to the stamping phase.
I love a good productive day in the studio!

After a bit of detailing with colored flashing slips, these ornaments are now drying
and ready for a bisque kiln. They will then be carefully propped-up on a little
handmade tripods in the soda kiln.

Cory’s pulling it all together and making things happen!!! One step closer
to our collaboration coming together for ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend!!!

Looks like Cory McCrory has yet another trick up her sleeve… as if she weren’t busy enough… she’s “upping” the cute factor of our collaboration project and pushing it over the top!!! Can’t wait to see where this takes us…

And now it looks like I have some more trimming to do… a LOT of trimming…
but that’s the easy part. For after trimming… comes handles!!!

Finished trimming & assembling another batch of ornaments…
now just need to do a little more detailing with colored flashing slips
before they get soda-fired!

HAPPY LABOR DAY! Anyone else already “laboring” in their studio today??? I’ve already done a bit of stamping… shocking, I know!!! But trying to get a lot done quickly… so I can get outside to play on my bike… again… this afternoon!!!
