Just realizing the that I never shared a photo from my most recent soda firing?! Lots of fresh pots ready for my next few art fairs. Including ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend in Glenview… and then ART IN THE BARN in Barrington just two weeks later! Gotta divvy up the pots to see what goes where???

Looking a little “sketchy”!!! There they are… the six platters that I made & stamped… and then handed off to Cory McCrory to add her collaboration magic to them. Looks like we’ve got some feathered festivities going on here!

Just a reminder, these six platters will be making their big debut this weekend at ART IN THE GARDEN in Glenview. There are only six… and they might go fast?! Just sayin’…

More underglaze painting going on at the Cory McCrory studio out in Sandwich, Illinois!
Can’t wait to see these when they’re finished… more colors, more imagery, more FUN!!!

So tonight was the start of the new session of pottery classes at Lillstreet. And “someone” may have found all three new flavors of OREOs to share with his students!!! Perhaps…. burp.

Looks like my “collaboration cohort” Cory McCrory was “laboring” yesterday in her studio on Labor Day! Lots of last-minute projects happening… with everyone getting ready for ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend in Glenview! Just adding a little of her colorful flair & whimsy to a few of my stamped platters!!!

While the “real” sunrise skyshow was happening out over the lake… there was “another one” going on just behind he silhouetted skyline. Equally as beautiful in all its pastel glory!!!

Another stunning sunrise morning. A pretty strong breeze made for a stiff headwind for the first half… and some crazy cool waves again! But then as the clouds moved, the sun rose & the colors continued to change… I had a swift tailwind all the way home!!!

Some days you just gotta pedal until there’s a sign… and this is one of my favorites! The paved bike path literally just stops here. Abruptly into grass. Not even a merge onto the street? Guess this is where I turn around & pedal home!!!

So I’ve dropped some hints… left some clues… alluded to some AITG collaboration projects. Did you catch ‘em?! Well, here’s a more direct approach since ART IN THE GARDEN is just a week away! My “collaboration cohort” Cory McCrory has been working on our pieces very quietly in her studio. I dropped off a few stamped platters with very “plain” interior areas. Cory will be changing that while adding her amazing sense of whimsy & crazy cool color schemes. I can’t wait to see them myself… teaser photos coming soon?!
