I had a very colorful morning today. The clouds continued to change as the miles continued to pass. Breezy clouds wisping across the sky, with a few contrails mixed in for good measure!
Yesterday morning we had some crazy-cool crashing waves breaking all over the lakefront. Windy, loud & misty from the crashing waves. So much fun riding… as well as stopping to “capture” some of the crashing waves! Timing is everything… timing to get the photo, and timing to NOT get caught in the splash!!!
We started the morning with some simple clouds, but they quickly blew away! Leaving behind a lot of clear skies & brilliant sunshine!
But yesterday…
Clear skies again this morning. Just a few wispy clouds floating through… as the water gently rippled with shimmering reflections across the lake.
Colorful bowls, stamped textures & Fall gourds… all ready for Day Two of ART IN THE BARN in Barrington. Its another beautiful day here… so come on down to the Lower Barn! We’re here until 5:00pm today!
While you’re at ART IN THE BARN today, be sure to stop by to see my friend Sandy’s beautiful botanicals captured with a wonderful patina! Fantastic pieces further down in the Lower Barn with “Of Nature Jewelry.â€
Well, you’ve waited long enough… and they’re finally out of the kiln… ready to give you a devilish smirky smile. This year’s addition to THE GHOULS COLLECTION… the Little Red Devils!!! Here’s your first sneak peek of these cuties as they get packed up for ART IN THE BARN this weekend. As always, it’s a limited edition of forty Red Devils… and when they’re gone, they’re gone… and “retired” from the collection!!!
Plenty of pumpkins headed to ART IN THE BARN this weekend. Just in time for Halloween decor… with cute little pumpkins that the squirrels won’t chew through!!!
Opening the kiln… filled with pumpkins & little red devils!!!
I might have pushing the deadline a smidge… but now they’re all fired, prepped, priced and ready for this weekend’s “Big Debut” at ART IN THE BARN!!!… which starts tomorrow by the way!!!
Plenty of platters!!!
I’m pretty excited to be bringing a bunch of NEW textured platters to ART IN THE BARN this weekend! It’s been fun exploring a new form with some new layered textures & patterns! You know I come from the school of MORE IS MORE… and I think I’ve succeeded!!!
