An hour difference… still beautiful. I was hoping for a warmer start to the day, but there was a pretty strong wind this morning keeping the chill in the air. It’s supposed to get pretty warm today… but not quite yet!

Handles attached… mugs assembled! I’ll keep them under plastic overnight…
and then clean them up & add some accents of colored flashing slips
before I let them start drying!

Handles pulled & looped-over to stiffen up a bit. Getting ready to add these handles to another batch of mugs … as soon as they stop being so sticky & mushy.

Kickin’ off a cloudy Saturday morning in the studio getting ready to pull some mug handles!

This week we tried the latest OREO creation… based on the Marvel comics!

But I have a couple questions… like why would I care about Marvel characters on my cookies? Or why would I want GREY cream in my OREOs?? And more importantly… why would I want them to turn BLUE when I lick them??? Well… apparently I was wrong… and we had a lot of fun with them in all three of my classes!!! I fear that the blue dye is still wearing off…

Finally some green… even if we can only enjoy it in between the rain clouds. I’ll take it…

Just finished a “quick” stamping session in my studio…
before heading downstairs to teach class!!!
More mugs… more stamps… more fun!!!

Wondering what to put on your new wall sconce-shelfy-thing?
Looks like Beth figured it out… “Put a bird on it.”

So this week in my “regular-non-Throwdown” classes, we focused on traditional lidded jars. After a bit of stamping, trimming & throwing knobs onto my lids… this trio of class demos is ready to dry!
