Getting these ready for my next soda-firing… by adding some accents & details of colored flashing slips to my mugs. The slip may look a little creamy-white right now, but with the soda atmosphere during firing, this slip should turn a beautiful orange color!

Which just happens to be my favorite color… go figure!

Looks like it’s another Sundae Funday Sunday!!! Yummy chocolate ice cream in “lickable” stamped & glazed bowls! Thanks for sharing Kristy & Matt… now I want ice cream too!!! Great.

Some more fun stamped textures in the studio today…
getting ready for Spring flowers with these ikebana vase discs!

Once the handles had stiffened up a bit, it was time to give them a little curve and start attaching them onto these fun split-rimmed “basket” bowls! I’m thinking these might just be glazed, finished & perfect for that Easter Bunny who loves pottery!!!

Looks like Kristy & Matt had a special Valentine’s Day last weekend… celebrating with sweet treats and some sweet pottery! Thanks for sharing your special day with all of us!

Looks like someone found the perfect napkin holder… employing one of my stamped & soda-fired oval vases with the perfect fit!

Celebrating another TEXTURE TUESDAY with a large stamped platter. Started as a plain class demo piece last week… but one single stamp pressed in over, and over, and over again made quite an impact. I’m digging the “starburst” effect that radiates out from the center!

Following up with a little post-shovel “warm-me-up” cup of hot chocolate… complete with the requisite JUMBO MARSHMALLOW!!!

See?… I knew I liked shoveling for some strange reason!!!

And to quote a text from my friend Pammy…
“Your mug brightens my ho-hum day.”

Glad I could be there for her!!!

And while we’re struggling under another big blanket of snow here in Chicago… here’s a little Mugshot Monday shout-out from sunny Puerto Rico!!! That mug looks pretty happy hanging out in that exotic location!

Thanks Katherine for sharing your mug & your sunshine with us!!!
