Just doing a little early morning stamping in the studio. These are destined for ART IN THE GARDEN in two weeks… and my pal Cory has some great plans to add her own kind of “magic” to them first!!! You know how I LOVE collaboration projects!!!

Kinda diggin’ this early morning production thing! Cranking out some flower pots early this morning… before heading back outside to play this afternoon! Gotta get these moving… as ART IN THE GARDEN is now just two weeks away!

A very productive morning in the studio before 10am… cranking out another batch of mugs! Starting with a bagful of clay… and voila’… twenty mug cylinders!!! Lots of stamping to come!

So here they are for now… lots of new mugs with some of them “destined” to be part of our class trading & exchanging game for the final night of my Intermediate Wheel class. Still gotta lot to do… drying, bisque firing, glazing & firing again… with the deadline quickly approaching… giddy-up!

Pulling handles… getting ready to turn my “stamped cylinders” into stamped MUGS!!! Yes, I’m a firm believer that a “mug” must have a handle. If not, it’s just a cup!

With a drop in temperatures, it feels oddly Fall-like outside… so it seems somehow appropriate to be spending the afternoon “pumpkintizing”!!!

With a rainy start to the day, I ended up adding some colored flashing slip details in the studio early this morning before heading down to summer camp!!!

Today I stamped the cylinders that are going to become my “matching” mugs for class. I decided to turn them into two different sets… with two different “sets” of thrown cylinders that were closer to matching than the others. And then I stamped each “set” with a different stamp. Hoping that as I trim them & add handles, they will continue to get even more matchy-matchy!!!

Another early morning being productive in the studio… making more than 10 before 10:00am!!! Now I just have a lot of “detailing” to make them come to life!!!

I had a very productive afternoon in the studio after summer camping all morning! Did a bit of stamping & detailing with some colored flashing slips. Getting ready for two upcoming soda kiln firings!!! Gotta make more… gotta make more…
