Just a quick reminder… my ETSY Store is still open & full of fun pottery! Stamped. Soda-fired. Glazed. But the current selection is scheduled to “close” this coming Monday 10/18/21. If you want to see the “full” selection, check it out this weekend… and add a few pieces to your collection!

When these products “expire” on ETSY next Monday, I will be re-stocking my shop with a much smaller selection of pieces! My plan is to refresh & replenish my ETSY Shop more frequently, but with smaller batches of pottery!

Okay, so I’ve been a little busy… a little too busy to post sunrise photos on a timely basis… but NEVER too busy to pedal for the sunrise! Like this ride from yesterday morning… before the big storm clouds moved in later in the day!

Just one month from today!
Mark your calendars now… jewelry, fine art, paintings, candles, pottery & more… and possibly another fun collaboration project?!

Pretty little pink pokers… a pop of color & some fun natural textures for another Texture Tuesday!

Celebrating another TEXTURE TUESDAY with a collection of my stamped & soda-fired square vases. The textures are fun… especially because there’s a different textured pattern on the other side of each vase!!! Get tired of one side?… just turn it around.

Looks like this might be my final dahlia in the garden, but it sure is a STUNNER… well worth the wait!!! And another great opportunity for a natural TEXTURE TUESDAY!

Pretty much sums up my life!
Now if I could just find that groovy outfit?!

Sometimes they’re just perfect for that special occasion!
We “may have”… “allegedly”… “hypothetically”… “quite possibly” enjoyed these in class tonight… “maybe.”

Shhh… don’t tell anyone, ‘cuz we’re not supposed to have shared snacks in class any more… darn Covid precautions!

So tonight’s class demo was a large serving bowl… as part of Shannon’s request. She was thinking maybe 10-pounds of clay for a large bowl for making bread?! So we went for it… but decided to go with nine pounds as ten just sounded too big?! HA!!!

One way to make your special day even more special is FREE ICE CREAM!!! Sure, it might be a lot… but no one ever said you couldn’t go to more than one location, right?! I called this “dinner” on my way to the studio to teach class tonight… I feel sorry for my students when all this sugar kicks in… this might be a bumpy ride!!!
