Cruisin’ Through Summer …
I’m still playing with my reverse enameling and stamps. A few more to finish and I will have a major coffin load of spoon rests & dishes. Tonight’s progress: I was painting while heating up our vit kiln for this brown/tan pull. Oops! Having said that … SOMEONE (DH) was right there with the …
Summer Lovin’ …
DH surprised me tonight by suggesting a vit pull. Aww … Thanks, babe! So – we did. It’s Bullseye aqua, teal, steel blue, emerald green, powder blue, warm white and clear. I’m happy with the results! And then, I stole a few hours for enamel projects … I love the cat & dog spoon rests. …

Life in our zoo …
I played a bit in the studio tonight … Working on more reverse enameling projects. I have a lion (or llama – you decide) spoon rest, an elephant ring dish, and two stamped plates in-the-works. I hope to combine reverse-enameling with crackle glass on the plates … We’ll see … I also fire-polished my tile …
Staying Busy …
Pretty busy week here at Clayton Hill … Our Tubby had babies on Monday! Strong, healthy tawny and blue pups … and Mom! All are doing great! Miss Tubitha likes her some food, she does! Which is a blessing – as she likes my cooking (calories), along with kibble and puppy food! Just look at …
