Since soda-firing can be so random… and one side of a piece can look totally different than the other side… most of the photos posted for my ONLINE HOLIDAY SHOW will have an inset photo so you can see both sides! Dimensions, volume & price will be on the photos too! This mug is just a great dramatic example!!!

Still working on the “glamorous” backside of tonight’s online sale. Plenty of photographs, measurements, determining volume, photoshopping & pricing. All of which has to happen in advance of the sale going live. It’s not just pulling pots off a shelf and voile’… a sale!!! So I’m still at it… all afternoon as the deadline draws near. Just 90 more minutes until it’s go-time!!! Fingers crossed.
