t’s a fine feathered flock of festivities!!! One last look at them… as my “cohort in collaborations” Cory McCrory glazed them & got them all into a kiln last night. So our collaboration platters will be coming out just in time… most likely still warm while making their debut at ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend in Glenview. There are only six of them… so plan accordingly. They might go fast… first come, first served. No dibs!!!

Not many clouds for the sun to play with this morning. Quite the change from yesterday’s skyshow. Just clear skies with one or two random clouds floating through. Another beautiful day… another beautiful start to my day!

And some times just one panoramic sunrise photo isn’t enough… like today.
So here’s a second one for you… enjoy!!!

I’ve said this before & I’ll say it again… bigger skyshows need bigger photos!!!

We’re getting down to the wire… time is running out!!! But my pal Cory McCrory is laser focused on the Finish Line for our ART IN THE GARDEN collaboration platters! She’s been doing some last minute touch-ups… a little scraping here, a little underglaze pencil there & a lot of whimsy & talent everywhere!!!

The sunrise was perfectly stunning this morning… but somehow the day got away from me. Too busy working & getting ready for this weekend’s art fair. But I finally found the time to post these perfect pictures… and I think it was well worth the wait!!! Perfect reflections of a perfect sunrise!

The flowers turned out great in my soda firing! Now they just need to “grow” some metal stems in time for ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend! Cute as little plant stakes… or an ever-blooming bouquet in a sweet vase. I mean… everyone could use more flowers in their life, right?!

So it looks like Cory McCrory did a little sumthin’-sumthin’ to our collaboration project last night. Suddenly the platters look a lot different… just gotta trust the process!!! Fingers crossed…

We’re just a couple days away… ART IN THE GARDEN is this weekend in Glenview, Illinois. There’s going to a lot of pretty things there… and you should be there too!!! All of the artists are working hard to finish everything… including some great one-of-a-kind collaboration pieces! It will a great weekend hanging out with a bunch of My Talented Friends!!! C’mon by…

Before & After. I’m loving how these pumpkin cuties turned out. Amazing what a little atmospheric soda-firing can do to change the colors of a flashing slip! Now I just need to decide how many are coming to each show with me?… and if I might “need” to keep one for myself?!
