Prayers & 3 kilns running …
And while I continue to take moments throughout the day to offer up prayers to the families and community in Connecticut, I go on about my business. Did I give my kids extra hugs? You bet! We had our family time at the dinner table over home cooked Shrimp Alfredo and finished with our nightly …

Work slowed way down in the studio after that … So, I did some painting. Had an experiment flop. Played with photo manipulation. Loaded the production kiln with the …
Studio News …
I’ve gotten a few pendants and badge reels pulled together … just quick projects. And I continue to re-photo some ‘older’ pieces – as I realize now just how horrible the lighting was in some of my initial listings … It keeps me busy and close to Olivia – who is going …
