Mug makin'

Nothing too exciting to report here, but it's been a couple of weeks so I figured I'd  update. Things have been crazy busy with packing (again), Thanksgiving, dog sitting, moving (again), working with an anxiety-riddled dog (new), and unpacking (again), and working on getting Christmas gifts. Oy.

Luckily I've been able to steal a handful of hours away to the studio, which has been much needed. These babies came out of the kiln the day before Thanksgiving

These cone 10 glazes are perfection.

Three others also came out with them, but they're not as cool. I'm really liking the direction these coral/ocean mugs are taking me. It's been a really fun way to combine throwing with some handbuilding work. I think I'm going to stay on this path for a while and see where it takes me.

Look at all the new mug babies! 
These bad boys have been bisqued and glazed - should be out of the kiln by Tuesday evening. I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Hopefully will be getting back to tote sewing once I get some more flat surfaces in the new place...and my sewing machines unpacked...
