We are busy throwing pots at the Barn for our local Empty Bowls Event. We are contributing 600 bowls and have about 250 done. Here is the first load out of the kiln. I blew bubbles in the glaze to make the bubble bowl.

Walking in Bear Meadow

When I was in Pennsylvania we went to Bear Meadow to pick wild blueberries.


Blueberries


Picking in the bog


We found blackberries too


Soon it will be time to pick these elderberries


We came upon this doe

We went to Whipple's Dam to hang out on the beach and paddle around in a canoe.

My niece came to see me and we made some pots. She made this great face mug and called it Treebeard the Ent. It turned out beautifully. I decided I needed some bowls so I made these. The glazes turned out great!
