Now THAT’s a lot of stamps!!! Actually, the surface decoration was created with just one of my handmade clay stamps. Pressed into the rim one-by-one, by one, by one, by one… all the way around a couple times! Fresh out of the kiln… again with my new favorite glaze… at least for this week!!! HA!!!

Just showing off more of my new Christmas Mugs!!! Two styles… green trees & red ornaments! Kinda make a perfect holiday pairing! Handmade mugs with my own handmade clay stamps, colored slips & a soda-fired finish. All of these mugs will be making their first appearance this weekend at my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. There’s a limited quantities… so they might go fast!!!

THE BIG CHRISTMAS MUG REVEAL!!! Not big mugs, just a big reveal!!! Especially made for this weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. Limited quantities… so mark off your holiday gift list early tomorrow morning!!!

A new platter with a new glaze! Fresh out of the kiln… and I’m LOVING this glaze as it seems to highlight all of the stamped textures & grooved areas so sweetly. Mental note to self… must make more like this!!!

A new oval basket with textured panels & double handles that help hold the flowers where you want them! Ready to make their “big debut” this weekend at my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… with a limited quantity, so come early!!!

Just in time for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend!!! My new double-handled oval vases came out great! I’m very excited by how the soda-firing hit them in all the right places. Making the colors pop, accentuating the textures & patterns… and best, none of that shiny gray “dolphin-skin” finish that soda-firing sometimes creates!

Some fun new stamped & glaze colored mugs for this weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW! Still looking for some new “names” to call each glaze color?! I think I’ve settled on “aubergine” for the purple one. I’ve jokingly been saying if we call it “purple” it’s one price, but if we call it “aubergine’ with a pompous verbal flair then it costs twice as much!!!

Color name suggestions anyone???

New oval vases with double handles drying in the studio. Each with a textured panel on both sides between the handles… thanks to some textured handrollers from MKM Pottery Tools. Loving the contrast of the smooth rounded ends & handles juxtaposed with the textured panels. Even better… the double handles will help hold your flowers up for a low-profile floral arrangement!

Time to get my groove on… starting with another groovy & crisp pattern from an MKM Pottery Tools handroller. Starting with a textured slab… with a plan in mind for a new oval vase project! Coming soon… deadlines are approaching!!!

After “warming up” with stamping a dinner plate, it was time to tackle a larger platter. A blank canvas… then a couple stamps using my own handmade stamp. Sure I coulda stopped after on ring around the perimeter… but what fun would that be???
