My friend Tracy was sharing her fragrant Lily-Of-The-Valley blooms with a neighbor for her birthday… and just needed a nice handmade vase to put them in! So glad we could work out a no-contact “delivery”… and a good time to chat & actually see a friend face-to-face for a change!!!

So I finally got “focused” tonight in the studio and started waxing the bottoms of a bunch of pots. I was kinda surprised… there were a lot more than I remembered making?! But they all look like mine…. so… I’ll keep waxing in preparation for a couple LONG glazing sessions to come!





Celebrating another TEXTURE TUESDAY with a few spring ferns…
one natural, and one stamped & soda-fired!!!


Celebrating another MUGSHOT MONDAY with a few more mugs!
All stamped, soda-fired and ready to go!!!
So if you’re ever looking for a new mug… or bowl, vase, pitcher & more… you can now shop online here on my website! Click on “Online Pottery Shopping” in the top right hand corner!




Apparently it’s Monochromatic Monday!!! Who knew?! Yummy red cherries in a red glazed berry bowl. Great combo. Thanks Braxton for sharing!

Bringing some of Nature’s beauty inside to avoid overnight cold warnings… Tracy was showing off her tulips in her new porcelain vase from my “Quite White Collection.” Love how the colorful tulips really “pop” against the crisp whiteness!
Kinda wondering if I should re-visit this white collection???
It’s been a while.


Making another TEXTURE TUESDAY happen in the studio.
Just stamping that “replacement†piece I had to make after Sunday’s ZOOM debacle!






Looks like we have another mug on-the-job AND at shelter-at-home!
Serving double-duty with another online meeting for Mugshot Monday!
Thanks Karen for the photo!

If you’re working double duty and need a new mug for your newly combined “home & office” workspace, remember you can now shop online here on my website. You can either click HERE… or click on the “Online Pottery Shopping” in the top right corner tab!
Just one of the vases included in this first “installment” of my online pottery sale. Sometimes you just need to see a vase with flowers to picture its full beauty & potential. BYOL… bring your own lilacs!
