And a few close-up shots so you can see a few of the details, textures & bling!!!
Shades of blue… hence the theme… “Interpretations of Blue.”

Last, but not least…these are MY four pieces for the collaboration… “Interpretations of Blue.” Not surprisingly, I went with a lot of textures… and a more than a few tiles. Although these tiny textured tiles are smaller than I’ve ever made before! Finished in shades of blue, a few metallic accents & a tiny bit of bling if you very closely!!!

Just. finding more ways to make cool patterns with my MKM Pottery Tools handrollers. You know I “loves me” some cool textures!

And here’s a little preview of how I think these textured tiles are going to lay-out. Trying to mix them all up evenly… “forced random” as I like to call it. There might be some changes along the way… but for now I need to start wiring it all together!

Textured tiles after soda-firing… getting ready to lay them out to create a wall hanging
tapestry for “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS”. Gotta get them all put together so they can hang
on the wall of Space 900 in just three days!!!

Also loving the mix of textures from using my favorite handrollers from MKM Pottery Tools!

Working on a fun wall piece for “4×4″… lots of textures, lots of tiles. And this is what it looked like BEFORE soda-firing… just a lot of tenmoku glazed inlaid into the textures. More to come…

Some rectangular textured tiles with tenmoku glaze inlay for “4×4”… looking like this before they were soda-fired. More to come… but here’s a hint… there “might” also be RUSTY METAL involved. I’m kinda excited…

Coming together in a collaboration project very soon!

Another version of my blue mini-tile quilts.
Kinda diggin’ the juxtaposition of the colors & angles.
We’ll see how they turn out after glazing!

Textured tiles… mini tiles kinda creating a “quilt” of sorts. Each individual tile is less than an inch square. Thanks to MKM Pottery Tools for cool handrollers that made most of these textures!

Handles attached… with plenty of time to spare before teaching class tonight!!!
This year’s Shamrock Mugs are now assembled and ready to start drying!
Wow… look at me way ahead of schedule!!! HA!!!

And in time for another Mugshot Monday!
