A few days later, and my booth flowers from ART IN THE GARDEN are still holding up nicely. It’s kinda nice to have fresh flowers on the back porch… and a handmade stamped & soda-fired vase to put them in!!!

Another beautiful floral arrangement for another Floral Friday! A few simple stems displayed in an square stamped ikebana vase. Thanks for sharing Kristy!

Pretty pink sweet peas posing in pottery per my Peoria pals! Yes please!

And thanks for sharing Gerry & Rosene… pink petal perfection!

Celebrating another Mugshot Monday with a splash of color! As someone who does not drink coffee or tea, I don’t use many mugs. Ironically, the mug is my all-time favorite thing to make… and I make a LOT of them! So for those non-caffeine drinkers… mugs make great vases too!

Fresh from a bisque firing… a pile of cutie-patootie mini vases! Waiting for some glaze… in the stamps & inside the vases. Just getting ready for my upcoming soda firing!!!

After a trip to the Andersonville Farmer’s Market on Wednesday, this collection of beautiful dahlias is now looking quite comfortable in one of my stamped & soda-fired oval vases. Beautiful blooms from Vangie’s Farm… including crazy cool & crazy huge curly burgundy dahlia! Perfect for a beautiful Floral Friday!

Celebrating another Floral Friday with a nice hydrangea centerpiece in one of my ikebana flower vases. Thanks for sharing your flowers Heather!

Hanging out in the studio tonight painting colored flashing slip accents on a bunch of mini’s… and watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies in Paris! The pomp & circumstance… the performances… the theatricality of it all… oh, and the athletes too.

The Opening Ceremonies are always my favorite part of The Olympics…
what are you looking forward to most???

Celebrating another Floral Friday… with my Glenview art fair booth flowers from last weekend that are still holding up really well. And looking great in an oval vase that “spreads them out” a bit more so you can see more flowers!!!

Little tiny pots need little tiny stamps, right???
I mean, just because they’re smaller doesn’t mean they should go unadorned!!!

That would just be wrong…
