Lots of clouds, lots of drama. With one large cloud looming to the north… the sunrise was trying its best to make it out before that cloud took over! We kinda made it… as the sun finally came out in a glaring blaze of glory at the very end of my ride!!!

Colored slip accents painted in an assortment of colors!
Can’t wait to get these through the soda kiln so I can get them to my friend Maria
for the second part of our special holiday “collaboration“ project.
Looking forward to some limited edition fun… only for my Holiday Home Shows!!!

Almost forgot to trim the bottoms!!!
So much faster with my favorite Giffin Grip & DiamondCore Tools!!!

Looks like my friend Allison is enjoying some veggies straight from the garden.
They look amazingly fresh & colorful… especially in a stamped & soda-fired berry bowl…
if I do say so myself!!!

Finished stamping all of these simple cylinders.
Now it’s time to add some colored slip accents…
as they’re destined for a soda-firing coming soon!!!

Got an early start this morning… stamping the cylinders from yesterday!
Ended up with forty of them. Not a bad day in the studio yesterday!!!

Been a busy morning!!! Tackled another 10×10 Challenge… throwing more than ten pieces by 10:00am. This time I’m actually planning ahead… working on a new “collaboration-ish“ project for my Holiday Home Shows!!! Never too soon to think Christmas…

Nothing but clouds… gray & grayer!!!
Not looking so good for the Air & Water Show today as the rain is predicted to start soon!

Celebrating another Floral Friday with a collection of flowers in one of my stamped & soda-fired vases. Fun orange & gold flowers with some seeded eucalyptus for added texture!

Summer Camp has to make you smile!!!
