Yesterday was very productive…
“things” are coming along nicely. Which they kinda “have to”…
if there’s any hope of having them done by next weekend for ART IN THE BARN!

Yesterday was very productive…
“things” are coming along nicely. Which they kinda “have to”…
if there’s any hope of having them done by next weekend for ART IN THE BARN!

I’m back in full production mode… perfect for another 10×10 Challenge!
More than ten before 10:00am. If you know you know…


Another big glazing day!!! As I need to load tomorrow so I can fire the soda kiln this Saturday! It’s been crazy busy making enough work to fill the whole kiln… with some new work for ART IN THE GARDEN… followed by ART IN THE BARN!!! Since these pieces are being soda-fired, it’s mostly liner glazes & inlaid glazes for the stamped impressions! Lots to do still… giddy-up!

Another 10×10 Challenge… but does it count when they’re just mini’s???

Colored slip accents painted in an assortment of colors!
Can’t wait to get these through the soda kiln so I can get them to my friend Maria
for the second part of our special holiday “collaboration“ project.
Looking forward to some limited edition fun… only for my Holiday Home Shows!!!

Almost forgot to trim the bottoms!!!
So much faster with my favorite Giffin Grip & DiamondCore Tools!!!

Finished stamping all of these simple cylinders.
Now it’s time to add some colored slip accents…
as they’re destined for a soda-firing coming soon!!!




Been a busy morning!!! Tackled another 10×10 Challenge… throwing more than ten pieces by 10:00am. This time I’m actually planning ahead… working on a new “collaboration-ish“ project for my Holiday Home Shows!!! Never too soon to think Christmas…


Another productive morning throwing more than ten new vase shapes before 10:00am!!!

Sorry no sunrise photos this morning… “someone” forgot to recharge the battery for the camera!!! Sheesh… rookie mistake!!!
