New Summer Stuff

I've been delinquent but, in my defense, summer in Chicago is much too nice to spend too much time indoors.  On average, I've been spending about 2 days in the studio -- 1 day to throw and create and another day to trim, glaze, etc. etc.  I am going to make this a short and sweet post and just show some of the work I've created recently.

The above "boxes" are thrown as a single piece with the lid cut into it.  The one below is bigger but I have so much trouble cutting the lids into the bigger pieces.  Consequently, they don't sit quite right.

Also, this term, I've decided to focus on bottles and vases.  So, there will be a lot more of those coming soon!

This is the mix-media vases with reed handle.  Something I am experimenting with so you'll see a few more of these as well.

I've been on vacation the last two weeks and have not been to the studio.  I should have more pieces come out of the kiln while I was gone.  I will post pictures when I get a chance to go pick up the new work.
