Started with a little stamping in the studio tonight. Just adding a little “fun” to a dinner plate demo from class this week! And you know how I love a good spiral.

Hard to believe we’re just one month away!!!
Time to mark your calendars & start making your holiday shopping lists.
Who’s been naughty?… and who’s been nice???

Just doing a little stamping tonight on a couple demo bowls from last night’s pottery class. We discussed making “larger” bowls… and then we did!!! Sure, I could select them plain… HA!!!

One of my stamped & soda-fired totem poles down in Central Illinois getting ready for Fall. Plants are withering & leaves are starting to turn & fall… love seeing this through the seasons!

Gotta love a good Fall Farmers Market… when they have big bags of crunchy-sweet apples! And you also gotta love having a big pottery bowl to put them in!!!

Like I said before… I liked all of the “not-so-basic bowls” after my class demo last Tuesday night. But I kinda thought they were missing something?! So I did a little more stamping & detailing on all of the bowls tonight. A lot more texture & stamped details on all of the bowls. I feel better now!

After the weekend’s art fair… and my booth flowers are still looking pretty good!
A little flash of Fall floral in a stamped & soda-fired oval vase!

Pretty orange roses in a pretty orange vase!
Stamped & soda-fired little mini vase with some little spray roses…
always fun in my favorite color!!!

Plus the latest batch of “hybrid mugs” fresh from last weekend’s soda kiln firing. A combo of wheelthrown & handbuilt techniques… with amazing textures created with my favorite MKM Pottery Tools! All ready for ART IN THE BARN this weekend!

And did I mention that there will be wheelthrown holiday ornaments at ART IN THE BARN too??? Fresh from the kiln… I just need to add metal rings to the tops!
