Finally got around to doing some new stamping…
making some festive holiday mugs for this year’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!

Had a fun night of stamping in my studio tonight. Lots of bowls with a lot of decorative rims!
Just trying to get them all done for my Holiday Home Show… just two weeks away!!!

More is MORE! Like this cute little cup that one of my students made awhile back… but finally glazed it!!! Sara went a little crazy when she was introduced to “stamping” during my Surface Decoration class. The light bulb went off. Her world expanded. And now she’s loving this little cutie! Nicely done Sara… and thanks for finally glazing it!!!

Handles attached… a lot of scoring, slipping & attaching. Mugs are made.
Now they just need a little touch-up here & there before I let them start drying.

Just finished a bit of stamping on the latest batch of mugs. Hoping to get these all done in the next couple days… so there’s time to dry, bisque fire, glaze & fire again before my Holiday Home Show!!!

Had to swing by the studio for a little Sunday stamping!!! When your pots are drying, you need to catch them at just the right point to get some good stamped impressions. A little on the wetter-side of leatherhard. And this class-demo platter was ready… so I did a little stamping… all done with just one of my own handmade clay stamps!

This has been a great week so far… and it’s only Wednesday?!
Today is another holiday… NATIONAL DESSERT DAY!!!
And it would be “wrong” of me to not celebrate, right?
Special thanks to “First Slice Cafe” for having a yummy cherry mini-pie at the Farmers Market today!

A week later… and my ART IN THE BARN booth flowers are still looking good!
Snip the ends, change the water & put them in a nice vase. I hear they like handmade vases best!!!

After Tuesday night’s class demo on “not-so-basic bowls”…
I just did a few things in my studio to make them “not-so-basicER”!!!
More is more, right?i

Another platter off to a new home! Lots of pots left my booth this weekend to find their new forever homes. So fun to see people get excited… touch, love & fondle… and decide that they “need” to have one of my pieces in their life!
