Headed north for a fun roadtrip… getting ready to deliver a special “commission” of hybrid mugs!!! It’ll be a fun “full-circle moment” for these mugs… more details to come!!!

And sometimes bigger sunrise skyshows simple “require” bigger panoramic photos!!!

Another glorious morning along the lakefront… still chilly, but less breezy & calmer waters prevailed today. It was fun to watch the colors change while the sunrise was starting to play with the clouds. Always the best way to start my day!

Also from yesterday’s Andersonville Farmer’s Market… some more beautiful dahlias looking for a nice handmade vase to call home! Like this double-handled, stamped & soda-fired oval vase. Handmade pottery makes the pretty flowers even prettier!

Textured “panel” made with a handroller from MKM Pottery Tools.

After yesterday’s Andersonville Farmer’s Market… I was stocked-up at Stamper Cheeses & prepared for today’s holiday… who knew?! So here I am with my favorite blue cheese & blue cheese-layered Brie… for NATIONAL MOLDY CHEESE DAY!!! Yummy!!!

Colorful clouds on another chilly morning… had to pull out the long sleeves again! And went with the gloves, but found I didn’t really need them out yet. Beautiful colors along the lakefront for another stunning morning ride!

Part Two of my class demo last night was to turn all of my simple round bowls into some “not-so-basic” bowls with simple alterations & surface decorations. Just encouraging my students to start decorating… to push their clay a little further… and to more HAVE FUN!!!

And then THIS happened!!! While my students went to practice making their bowls… I made “a few” more too!!! Just one bag of clay quickly turned into bowls. All waiting to be altered & decorated as Part Two of the demo!!!
