It was a Studio Sunday :) Friends were around, art was made, and I conjured up these sugar bowls to live in someone’s coffee station. I’m thinking they’re cutie patooties.

What would you keep in a jar like this?

Sgrafitto and driftwood handle with copper wire.

I am already yearning for spring and it’s only February, so here are some optimistic bud vases that I carved up this morning. #ceramics #pottery #budvase #texture #pattern #pottersofbluesky #handmade

This one’s got all the goods! Little sculptural handle, a bit of sgrafitto, texture carving and of course some feets. Sunday studio time is the best time.

Sometimes I make mugs, like these guys. I don’t even drink coffee, but tea, give me all the tea.

I don’t really pay attention to all the sports ball happenings, but I know it’s the #Superbowl today so here are some SuperBowls that I made. I think I’ll root for the #SuperbOwl

Some evidence of my lunacy - this monotonous part of the process is my favorite. Carve ‘em up!

We had a snow day today, well more of an ice day, but it meant I could tinker around with some closed forms I made over the weekend :)

A study of figs I did a while ago, just a wee bit of gouache! I could go for some of that sun drenched sweetness about now.
