So yesterday “someone” said he prefers sunrises with more clouds… giving the sunrise something to play its colors against. And then lookey-here… somebody got what they were wishing for this morning. So beautiful… so GORGEOUS!!!… and I rest my case!

Doing some trimming in the studio… spinning, turning & trimming.
So much more fun with my favorite trimming tools from DiamondCore Tools & Giffin Grip!
The perfect trimming duo!!!

After a string of perfectly clear skies, it was great to have a few clouds this morning for a little more “sunrise surprise.” Now don’t get me wrong… I love a good “clear-sky” day. However… personally I prefer some clouds in the morning for the sunrise to bounce some color off of. More morning drama… more sunrise colors… more is more!

Another day of clear skies… nary a cloud to be seen… all except for the tiniest little “blip” of a cloud when the sun popped up. Another beautiful morning riding along the lakefront… such a joy!

My Intermediate Wheelthrowing class is focusing on nesting bowl this session.
It is their challenge… and their “trade-exchange-game” piece for our last class this session. These are my demo bowls… and I’m feeling pretty confident so far. Even without using a caliper or ruler.

Apparently this is now a “thing”…
and I have no idea why so many people have sent this post to me today?!
Go figure.

But now I need to find the nearest Portillos!!!

Another beautiful Fall day… with vibrant orange skies to start the day.
Not a lot of clouds to play with, but the sun did its best with what it had to work with.

A beautiful crescent moon at the start of my morning ride… before the sunrise!

Celebrating another Mugshot Monday with a mug full of mums!!!
Remember… mugs are for more than just coffee!!!

Nothing but clear skies & cool breezes this morning.
