Off to the low country

I have had a wonderful time in North Carolina visiting my parents and seeing my brother and his family. I took some wonderful beach walks that were full of visual inspiration. Now I am headed to Hilton Head SC to see my grandson Jake. It is always hard to pay attention to the road while I'm driving through this area because it is so lovely. Everyone have a great day.

Waiting patiently

While I am away on vacation this dinnerware set is waiting for me at home. I come home from this vacation and then I leave again shortly to go to a wedding in KY. The couple are very special, Mark Ruley and his sweet girl friend, Andrea. Their gift is going to be this dinnerware set. So it needs to be dry and ready to decorate and fire when I get home. I think I am going to do the sea life pattern on it. They are going to live in California, so I think that will be appropriate. I will show pics when it is finished. I am enjoying myself on vacation and maybe I will be able to post some pics along the road.

Dragonflies and roses

I am leaving for vacation on Tuesday. I am headed to North Carolina to see my parents and then to Hilton Head Island to see my son and his wife and my new grand baby, Jacob. I am very excited. So the above photos are of the last load out of the kiln before I go. They are going into the gallery tomorrow. They are a swarm of dragonflies to celebrate the summer. I will try to do some posting while I am gone.

Today is my friend David Scott Meier's birthday. He is such a nice man HE brought ME roses on HIS birthday. He says that the little yellow one is going to smell wonderful. Thank you David for the roses. David is a wonderful friend, and he is an amazing artist. His mixed media work is truly artistic and his design sense is impeccable. Please take a minute to check out his blog.
