Celebrating a little TEXTURE TUESDAY with some stamped & soda-fired textures! I love how the soda kiln help accentuate all of the textures kinda randomly… and yet I can still get the fun colors to POP!!! Not every soda-fired piece of pottery has to be dark gray, white or brown!!! Just sayin’…

Yes, the snow did them in… the plants are completely frozen, sagging, mushy & dead! However, I did “save” two flowers for a quick ikebana vase! The last two for this season… and hoping to “up my game” for next year with even more & bigger dahlias!

After this morning’s trip to the GreenCity Market, Rikke came home with another beautiful “broken” dahlia bloom FREE from the flower vendor. Good thing Rikki has an ikebana flower vase at the ready to show-off her newest blossom! Giving new life to a flower-head originally headed towards the trash. Beautiful save!!!

A single dahlia propped on an ikebana flower vase. A great way for Rikke to show off some stray blooms she got from the farmer’s market… gifted to her after they had broken off from the stems!

With a threat of overnight frost killing off her flowers, looks like Rosene made herself a cute little arrangement of homegrown flowers in one of my stamped & soda-fired vases! Just trying to keep her summer flowers goin’ a bit longer…

My last bouquet of flowers from the Andersonville Farmers Market for the summer. The dahlias were already gone by the time I got there… so I bought this textural mix of late summer blooms, grasses & a few stalks of small kale. Luckily, I had the perfect oval vase ready to go!!!

Plain pumpkins too!!!
Handmade & soda-fired… the squirrels won’t eat these pumpkins on your porch!!!

Just ten minutes until the Ghouls are released! Watch for the official Photo Album to be published at 7:00pm CST. Then click fast to claim your favorites… as there’s a very limited number of some of them. And when that Limited Edition is gone… mwah, mwah, mwah…

Looks like Diane has finally moved into her new place… lots of boxes & lots of paper… and unwrapping her pottery collection first thing!!! Perfect timing for another Mugshot Monday!

In a pile of textures & colors, it’s always great to see one of my mugs “out in the wild” playing well with others! Thanks Ellen for surrounding my mug with such love & creativity!
