Winter Work
These short winter days have produced a bit of work. We are finishing
the making and starting the glazing and firing part of the
cycle. Our goal is the American Crafts Council show in Baltimore, MD at
the convention center Feb. 20-24. The first couple of days we'll show
wholesale samples to the trade for possible orders and the last three
days we'll sell directly to the public. We also have a few orders
waiting to be completed before we leave. Here are some photos to feast
on:

Cat tastrofee
It was dark this January morning at 6 am. Steve was feeding the livestock (Powder, Olive and Popeye).
He was stumbling around fixing himself a cup of Joe when he heard a LOUD crash from the studio.
With much trepidation, Steve ventured into the studio to discover this morning's disaster. Much to his surprise, Olive (our black kitty) ran past him into the house soaking wet and looking extremely guilty. From what we found, we can only assume that she tried to perform her triple jump to the highest decorating table to get her early morning drink. The bucket of water, the large, half decorated pot and Olive's thirteen pounds were too much for the table. Everything was a pile in the corner.
Now this is all circumstantial evidence as no one actually saw Olive do this but her being soaking wet and running away from the crime scene are at the core of the prosecution's presentation. We are putting the situation up for you, our jury, to make recommendations for her due punishment.

Shangri-La
What fun to be in the studio again and work on my landscape pieces! After looking at many beautiful books and drawing some ideas in my notebook, I've started this year's special work before turning my attention to filling the gaps in our stock. Here is what I have so far:
