Here we go again… starting another batch of hybrid mugs. The coneflower pattern from my friends at MKM Pottery Tools was so popular last summer… I figured I should make more of them for this summer’s art fairs!

Some pretty red anemone flowers with seeded eucalyptus in a small textured & soda-fired square vase. Loving the scroll pattern & the crazy-cool details in the flower’s center!

Just a little early morning stamping in the studio!
Some sweet little bowls… now even sweeter with some textured patterns!

All stamped for some fun textural surface decoration. Fun places for the glaze to play with when they eventually get fired… in time for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!

You know how much I love rusty metal…
