More ART IN THE BARN art fair booth flowers hangin’ on
& living their best life in a square soda-fired vase.




Today was just beautiful! Clear skies, cool breezes, no humidity & the warmth of the sun on your shoulders. A perfect day to play outside hiking through nature appreciating the beauty all around. The flowers, the trees, the leaves, the butterflies… and the deer! It seemed like we criss-crossed paths a couple times… checking each other out each time! Such a wonderful day playing outside! No better place…









































A week later… and my ART IN THE BARN booth flowers are still looking good!
Snip the ends, change the water & put them in a nice vase. I hear they like handmade vases best!!!






Too soon???… I’m diggin’ the Fall vibes.
Loving the colors, but I’m not quite ready to start losing leaves already!!!



Nice to see a tall “winged-visitor” hanging out in the lake this morning. We don’t see a lot of Great Blue Herons in Lake Michigan. I assume this one was looking for some breakfast in the crashing waves!



Just clear skies… and crashing waves! Another breezy morning along the lakefront with a chill coming in from off the lake. Long sleeves & gloves to start the day… hoping it warms up today for a beautiful Saturday!




















After Tuesday night’s class demo on “not-so-basic bowls”…
I just did a few things in my studio to make them “not-so-basicER”!!!
More is more, right?i











Another windy & splashy morning along the lakefront. Kinda chilly. Kinda cloudy. A great recipe for a very dramatic sunrise morning! Great fun… at least until the headwind ride back home!



















































HAPPY OCTOBER!
It’s a new month & The Ghouls are coming out to play!!! I’ve been creating an annual addition to “The Ghouls Collection” for several years. And it’s always fun to see people displaying their own ghoulish collections at home.





Thanks to Diane for showing us her collection… and thanks to Diane’s sister who came out to ART IN THE BARN to get this year’s Owl for Diane! who couldn’t make the show!!
