Brandywine Festival of the Arts is this Saturday and Sunday September 7th and 8th in Wilmington, DE. My space is R-68. I hope to see you there.

We were up at the cabin this week and one of the things I did on a very sunny and beautiful day was crochet tiny hats and scarves for snowmen. Which leads of course to a snowman fashion show. Which one is your favorite?





























Why did the turkey cross the road? Because it has stuff to eat in it!

Yay for fall and snowmen. I ended up doing no traditional pumpkins. I thought I was going to do some orange ones, but when it came time to glaze I was in a different mood. A few of them, and some plates, came out lighter than I thought they would. I think my sand and surf is already really watered down so I didn't need to wipe back. I think I'm going to refire most of the stuff I used that on.

I'm not sure how I feel about the mushroom mugs. They are mushroom mugs, but they aren't as cool as I wanted them to be.

More fishy plates! First round of pumpkins and snowmen. Plus an experiment in mushroom mugs.

Sangria is a great glaze and I really love it on this new texture. I need to make more things with that texture. Lots of leaves in this kiln. The grape leaves came out awesome as did the maples.

It's been so hot that my shelves have piled up. I have glazed and glazed and yet I still don't have empty kiln shelves. Here's the first of the progress though. My napkin holder and the pitcher with the new texture on the top look amazing. I hope that the rest of the grape leaves look like this one because those are perfect too. Also no dead worms on the mushrooms this time!

I might be out of control on the 3D scandi things. I had this ornament that just wasn't fancy enough and turned it into a 3D ornament. I think I want to make this glittery.
