A week later, and my art fair booth flowers are still looking pretty good.
I think they might be enjoying life on my back porch
with the cooler nights we’ve been having.

Not every mug has to be used for coffee! Sometimes a hybrid mug looks even better with a splash of brightly colored flowers!!! Perfect for another Mugshot Monday!

It’s another Floral Friday… this time with an oval vase full of orange tulips gracefully cascading to the side. I love how oval vases allow the flowers to spread more side-to-side… and not always so vertical like in normal vases. A little stamping… a little soda-firing… and a little soda flashing on “raw” unglazed B-Clay!!!

Good thing there are “always” more where that come from!
Plenty of mugs for another MUGSHOT MONDAY…
and a LOT happier than Matthew’s broken one!!!

Celebrating a little TEXTURE TUESDAY with a stamped & soda-fired ClayQuilt I made awhile back… currently living its best life in a customer’s home!

Loving Kelly’s stamped & soda-fired wall pocket vase… perfect for remnants of a floral arrangement when the “fussy flowers” died off and left this textural assortment. Just another fun Floral Friday!

A single rose in a stamped & soda-fired ikebana vase to brighten your Friday…
it doesn’t take a lot to share a smile!

Looks like Kristy is showing off her collection of sweet little soda-fired bowls! Stamps look good… but those SPIRALS!!! You know how I love a good spiral!!!
