Handles attached… a lot of scoring, slipping & attaching. Mugs are made.
Now they just need a little touch-up here & there before I let them start drying.

Pulled my handles the old-fashioned way. I’ve pulled them & flipped them over to create loops that stand up… so they can stiffen up a bit with the curved shape already there. I might be one of the few people who actually enjoy making & attaching handles. I LOVE making mugs!!!

Little clay nuggets… getting ready to pull some handles. Loving the shadows… and looking a bit like Stoneh… err, I mean “Clayhenge”!!!

Last night in my Beginning Wheel class, we had a little birthday celebration for Kay…
who also brought her own birthday cake?! So sweet…
especially as it was an Oreo Cake from “Sweet Mandy B’s.”
We love good reason to have a party in class!!!

Again with this dahlia… which I believe should have a lot more petals?!
But every flower on this plant has been like this!!!
At first I was frustrated… now I’m just mildly amused!

Low-flying clouds to start the morning… with more moving in!
A quiet & calm day along the lakefront with no wind & no waves!

Celebrating a little “Totem Tuesday” with some shots of my stamped totem pole in front of my condo. It’s been standing in my front garden for several years. But I love how a little “volunteer” plan has found its way into my totem. Not intended to house random plants… but I’m kind of intrigued how this little guy decided this would be a great place to put down roots!!!

Last night in class we had another sweet treat! Thanks to Katie who found these tasty nuggets in the airport on her way home from Paris! Merci beaucoup Katie!

More characters from THE GHOULS COLLECTION!!! This festive grouping comes from my friend Beckie who has her collection on a table all its own! Funny though… if memory serves me correctly, I think Beckie & her husband have TWO Werewolves… and yet somehow, no Werewolf showing up here in the photo??? I’m intrigued…

Remember, if you have some of my “Ghouls” in your Halloween display… please send me a photo or two!!! Email photos: gary@firewhenreadypottery.com . Thanks!!!

Crazy cool clouds, splashing waves & breezy winds. All add up to another wonderful sunrise bike ride along the lakefront. I said I like clouded mornings better than clear skies… and I’m getting them now!!! Thank you Mother Nature!
