Can you spot the Fire When Ready Pottery stamped vase on the mandala mosaic???

Ready for another day of fun at ART IN THE BARN.
It’s Day Two and it looks like another beautiful day in Barrington!
I’ve re-stocked and put everything back in its place. Not only do I have a spacious double booth… but I also have a great “backyard” space to overflow into as well. The perfect place to display some larger ClayQuilts… and the requisite Fall mum.

If you couldn’t make it to “Art In The Garden” and therefore you missed the tiled collaboration pieces I did with Cory McCrory. This weekend is your second chance!

Missed the “Garden” so come out to the “Barn.”
I’ll have the remaining collaboration tiled mirrors with me at ART IN THE BARN.
Great colors, great whimsy, great textures. It’s always fun to collaborate with Cory…
and these mirrors are going fast!!!

Whew… just finished assembling & gluing all of the tiles in place…
800 all together!!!

Another fun collaboration project with Cory McCrory done… and drying!
Remember, the “Big Reveal” is this weekend at ART IN THE GARDEN in Glenview!!!
A fun group of Talented Friends hanging out in Amy Taylor’s backyard garden!!!

For more information & full show details, click here to follow us on Facebook.

But for now, they’re sitting on top of my dining room table drying.
All ready to travel to Glenview tomorrow morning for the “Big Reveal.”

And after seeing this… maybe I need consider tiling my dining room table for real?!

Still gluing. Only eight more collaboration pieces to go!!!
Ahhhh…. FUMES!!!

The collaboration pieces I’m doing with Cory McCrory are coming together nicely. I’ve been laying out the tiles to create mini-ClayQuilts. So many colors, textures, flowers… and even some words along the way!!! Once I get them all laid out, I’ll give them all a final “edit”… switch a tile, rotate a tile, tweak ’em a bit before I call them done!

And then I still have to glue them all in place so they can dry in time for the “Big Reveal” this weekend at ART IN THE GARDEN in Glenview.

I love when a plan comes together!!!

Here’s a couple cuties from Cory McCrory. C’mon, could they be any cuter?!
Can’t wait to see them all come together!!!

And yes… you guessed it… some of them do indeed go together!!!
That was tough to put together, right???

Let the assembly begin. Placing Cory’s tiles and then adding mine into the mix.
Got a lot of pieces… a lot of tiles… and not a lot of time!
Methinks it’s going to be another late night of adhesive fun!!! Great fumes to sleep by.

Each bag I pull out of the box is better than the one before!
It’s like a Cory McCrory Christmas in the ceramic collaboration world. So much fun!!!

I’ve got a severe case of the Cory’s!!!
No really… I’ve got a full case of Cory McCrory’s tiles for our ART IN THE GARDEN collaboration project. Can’t wait to dig in and see what we sort of brilliant genius we have here!!!

Now I’ve got to start putting it all together. The “Big Reveal” will be this
weekend at ART IN THE GARDEN in Glenview. Gotta love a good collaboration!
