Going a little tropical… with red anthurium & sago palm fronds in a stamped & soda-fire vase. I went with a square vase with a squiggly-scrolly pattern to complement the organic floral.

Celebrating a little Texture Tuesday with these great bi-color leaves. No idea what they are… most likely a weed… as they’re growing along the railroad tracks across from Lillstreet Art Center!

Looks like Kristy has cooked up another yummy dinner… a Moroccan stew with roasted eggplant & tomatoes. Looking even yummier in a handmade stamped bowl!!! Thanks for sharing Kristy!

Creepy Clowns… the newest member of THE GHOULS COLLECTION. It’s a Limited Edition of forty… and when they’re gone, they’re gone!!! They’re all very similar, but each on has a different color combo & personality. It will be great fun to see how people analyze & pick their favorite this weekend at ART IN THE BARN!

The newest addition to THE GHOULS COLLECTION…
limited edition Creepy Clowns!!!

Coming out of the kiln… not so creepy, I think they’re pretty cute.
Vibrant colors with a smirky-toothy grin… half with hats, and half with flowers “squirting” water!! All coming out for ART IN THE BARN this weekend in Barrington!

It’s my BIGGEST art fair of the summer… well, technically kicking-off Fall. I will once again be in the Lower Barn with my double booth in E4 & E6. And I’ve been working long hours in the studio getting everything ready for this one. Not only will I have all of the mugs & bowls… but also some special “wall art pieces” that don’t get to travel to art fairs in my tent. As well as all of the newest Limited Edition “Creepy Clowns” for THE GHOULS COLLECTION… and pumpkins & other Halloween decor fun! Be sure to stop by this weekend… and bring some friends!!! It looks like it’s going to be a WONDERFUL weekend out in Barrington!!!

Handmade pottery always makes the flowers look better!!!

Another beautiful bouquet of farm-fresh dahlias from Vangie’s Farm… at yesterday’s Farmer’s Market in Andersonville. Such amazing colors & textures. I do love growing some dahlias in my garden… but they never get quite as amazing as these ones!!! Good thing I have plenty of vases ready to go whenever some new flowers come home with me!!!

Also coming to ART IN THE BARN this weekend… more pumpkins fresh from the soda kiln!!!

Finally all glazed & going into the kiln! I always find it funny that this crazy “mint ice cream” green glaze somehow turns clear in the firing?! Feels good to have them “safely” in the kiln… one step closer to getting them done… and one HUGE step towards getting them all to ART IN THE BARN this weekend!!!
