More snow means more shoveling… which also means more hot chocolate!!! Which is really just the “vehicle” to get more marshmallows into my mouth!!!

Luckily, I have more in the kitchen… as pottery classes at Lillstreet have been cancelled for tonight & tomorrow morning due to the snowstorm!!!

Celebrating another MUGSHOT MONDAY with this stamped & soda-fired mug. One of my favorites… as I’m loving how the stamp covers a lot of the mug surface, and yet leaves a lot of the mug surface intact. Kinda like a stamped “fishnet” over the surface?!

I’m always intrigued by how one little stamp
can change the whole look of a simple dinner plate!

So, unbeknownst to many… today was a National Holiday!!!
And it would just be “rude” if I didn’t celebrate, right?!

I like holidays… especially when it’s NATIONAL PIZZA DAY!!!

Feeling “blue” with all this cold weather?!
Well, here’s a nice cobalt blue mug for MUGSHOT MONDAY
to brighten your day!

After stamping, I added a few accents of colored flashing slip onto the vases. These will change colors as they react with the atmosphere of the soda kiln… believe it or not, I’m painting with a slip that turns ORANGE!!!

Snowing outside… but stamping inside! Spent some time in the studio stamping these two vases that I made during my Monday night class demo for “throwing taller.” Sure, I coulda’ left them smooth… but what fun would THAT be?!!!

Kudos to my former student Kimberly for making it to the “Show-Off Shelves” at Lillstreet! A couple people have asked me if it was MY platter… to which I proudly said “No”, but she was one of my students! Congrats again Kimberly… your platter turned out GREAT!!!

Sure, I probably could have thrown these gourds away off my back porch months ago! But I just couldn’t because they look so cool… and I was hoping to plant the seeds this spring. Didn’t plan on them getting covered with snow though!!!

Spent some time in the studio this afternoon working on my class demo bowls from Tuesday night. A little bit of stamping & detailing can make a big difference. You know I’m a member of the “MORE IS MORE” club!!!

And back under the plastic they go… so they can dry up a bit more before I trim the bottoms. This last one “might” even get a handle over the top to make it like a little “basket-bowl”!!!
