1-35.

I am challenging myself to finish 100 mugs as quickly as possible (for me.) Here is 1-35. I started on Dec. 20th. These are mostly "vegan" mugs and about 15 of them are spoken for. These will be going into the bisque kiln tomorrow. It has been rainy and damp, so they are taking forever to dry.

Today we moved our studio back. YAY!!! Great way to start the new year!

And a merry day to you!

I'm really not much of a holiday person. My family is not nearby, and I don't have children. And most of my friends don't have children. So I really don't get into it.

But I do love the feeling of shared adventure that happens during this time of year. It is a special time. Even if all you do is admire your neighbors decorations.

As a big city dweller, I love to walk around the neighborhood on Christmas day and just enjoy the quiet. Nobody is out in the morning. There is no horn-honking. There is no traffic. Its just...aaaaaahhhhhh...quiet. As a country-girl at heart, I really love that.

Hope everyone has a lovely week and you celebrate the season however you wish.

I would like to take a second to thank everyone for their ongoing support and encouragement of my little clay business. I appreciate that I have a really wonderful opportunity everyday to continue doing what I love. And that is the best present of all!

new love.

I'm just having a hard time tearing myself away from the lino-cutting. I haven't actually made anything with the new cuts, I've just been enjoying the cutting. Not terribly productive, but very soothing and fun.

Getting a grip.

Final batch of mugs before the holidays. Most of these are spoken for. I was surprisingly unprepared for the need of wonky vegan mugs.
One more bisque/glaze firings for last-minute custom work and that will be it for the holiday rush!

Hoot!

'Nuff said.

Berry bowls.

These have become my absolute favorite thing to make. Something about adding the holes and cutting up the foot. Plus I get to add a strap handle and a bit of stamping.
