Reno dog show

Going to Reno for a big dog show that is held in McKinley Park. It's supposed to be hot and I just hope people show up. I will have all my dog related items - birdhouses, plates, garden stakes, etc. I am so happy to know my booth #50 will be under a tree and that I have a battery operated fan to bring with me. Every artist who does outdoor shows should have one.

Flower Power

Just started making a new item. Clay flowers that bloom all year round. They are about 7" in diameter, very colorful and are attached to a rod that enables them to be put in the ground at any height. I don't think the pictures do them justice, but I will take more when the rest are completed.

I was inspired by a video on the ceramics daily website. An artist showed how she made the flowers using a wheel throwing method. Since I don't throw, I adapted her method to slab rolling. Took some tweaking to do it, but now I just love the way they come out.
