5 days and counting…..



Yikes!  Fall Fiber Festival is this coming Saturday and Sunday.  I have one more bisque and one (!) more glaze firing to accomplish.  AND THINGS AREN'T DRYING.  Its been SO rainy and wet here in Virginia....The last few pots are just to round out the selection so I could just do one more glaze firing and call it finished.  BUT I want these large plates to be at the party.....(IF they don't warp....)

So I may just break down and lower the AC in the studio and cross my fingers.

Road Trip

So it was time to order clay, and rather then wait for delivery (and pay for it) I decided to pick it up myself.  THE TRIP IS GORGEOUS.  This drive brings tears to my eyes from the beauty.  I know it sounds dramatic.  But I can't help it.  My clay is in Front Royal, VA and the drive there from Charlottesville is amazing.  No interstates.  Only a state highway and alot of windy country roads.  It did me a world of good.  It was the first of a couple of cooler days.  The air was refreshing and clear. SO I was able to take Layla with me for company too.









Pictures while driving is not too smart.  What you aren't seeing are the fields of Queen Anne's Lace (great for dyeing I hear but I couldn't find a good pull off to harvest some...) the rolls of hay and the cows and horses........

New clay means I have been working on alot of pots.  Another baby commission, pots for a Farm Market and slowly preparing for THREE shows in October.

Pictures soon.....
