So I’ve been working hard trying to build my portion of the collaboration project I’m doing with Cory McCrory. Lots of assembling, lots of stamping, lots of drilling. It’s been a fun project, and it’s all finally coming together on my end. And I’m pretty sure Cory’s are coming along nicely too. I can’t wait to put everything together when we get to Glenview this weekend for ART IN THE GARDEN.

So I’ve gotten a few of my textured slab mugs out of the soda kiln.
They’re looking pretty sweet. Loving the all-around textures… and how the colored flashing slips are being highlighted on the high points of the textures.

These new “handbuilt-wheelthrown combo mugs” will be making their Grand Debut
at ART IN THE GARDEN this coming weekend!!! There will be a fairly limited quantity…
be sure to stop by to get your hands on one of these new mugs!!!

Getting even closer on my “Cory-Collaboration” pieces. Adding some colored flashing slips for a pop of color after soda-firing. I know Cory is working on hers too… can’t wait to put everything together next weekend at ART IN THE GARDEN.

As seen on my back porch… a rusty collection of fun creating a “curtain” of groovy things even better in light & shadow! And you know how I LOVE rusty metal!!!

Bringing a bit of nature’s beauty indoors. White hydrangeas in a stamped & soda-fired vase.

Let the collaborations continue! Looks like a lot of small trays are being made… some by my friend & collaborator Cory McCrory, and some by me. Lots of textures all around. Coming soon to ART IN THE GARDEN next weekend!!!

Wispy pink clouds dotting the horizon early this morning.

A quiet Sunday morning along the lake. Clear skies with a few wispy clouds that came closer just in time for a beautiful golden finish to the morning’s sunrise!

Bringing a splash of brilliant color to Amy’s already colorful garden is newcomer Jillian Hentschel. Her outrageously colorful work will be a great addition to ART IN THE GARDEN next weekend. We all hope you can stop by to join us for a great day in the garden!
