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!

Four bowls. Four colors. Four textures.
All “four†another TEXTURE TUESDAY!!!

Taking photos. Making plans. Posting online… FULL DETAILS TOMORROW!!! But for today… it’s another Mugshot Monday just under the wire!

And it looks like Ruth is enjoying some fresh blueberries… in her “appropriately designed” berry bowl! What a weird coincidence… I never really thought that THAT stamp with some blue colored slip would look that great with fresh blueberries!!! Who knew?!

A little splash of cheery sunshine & beautiful spring flowers
from one of my customers up in Wisconsin…
eager to show off her new stamped & soda-fired vase!

See what happens when it rains…
I keep sharing pictures while I’m stuck at home!!!
Okay, so a lot of you have already been to my place for “My Holiday Home Show” and have seen, touched & loved my tiled wall installation. It’s a small wall between bedroom & bathroom with just under 3,000 handmade tiles on the wall…. 2,894 but who’s counting?! All stamped, textured & soda-fired. It took awhile to install, but I LOVE the final piece… especially with my hardwood accents & overhead track lighting for added drama & shadows!





Okay, now that that succulent diversion is completed,
back to the task at hand. Packing up some pottery pieces to ship out today… or maybe tomorrow if I trip upon another tangent today?! No promises.


While this happy wavy one has been replanted recently in a new stamped & soda-fired flowerpot… just finding more “diversions†from working on the REAL projects I “should be†tackling during this crazy time off!
