Love how the sun is illuminating these fern fronds from behind.
Making the color pop & the texture show-up even better!

Loving the larkspur that just started blooming in my garden this week! That beautiful purple color floating above feathery stems. And it looks like there are still a lot of blooms to come!!! The way these things have spread all over my garden… I’m sure they would be considered a “weed” if the flowers weren’t so pretty! HA!!!

We’re just one month away from my next art fair… and there’s a LOT of pottery to be made before then! I’ve got a whole soda kiln to fill in two weeks. Perfect timing to bring a lot of new pots to Glenview. Mark your calendars now!!!

Rippled reflections on another quiet morning along the lake. With a heavy layer of “clouds” along the horizon, the sunrise was delayed a bit… but well worth the wait!

Kinda forgot about these demo plates from our SURFACE DECORATION class?! Finally getting around to trimming these plates… with some thick slip chattering for surface decoration & texture!

Sunshine yellow with early morning shadows.

And speaking of “smoke”… looks like the smoke bush in my front garden is getting ready to bloom. Tons of tiny little flowers that fill out the bush with a very cool “smoky” illusion… hence the name.

Today is the official first day of Summer! And we kicked it off with an uneventful sunrise. I couldn’t tell if it was just morning haze, marine layer fog or the smoke from the Canadian wildfires still? Either way, I was underwhelmed… but welcome to SUMMER!!!

Just adding a few accents of colored flashing slip to a quick batch of oval vases. They may look white now… but after a soda-firing, these slip accents should turn orange… my favorite color!!!

We started a new session of my beginning wheelthrowing class tonight! New session, new students… new flavor… same “yellow towel situation”!!!
