New Pots! "Farm Ware"

The BIG Secret.....

I AM SO EXCITED!

 SOME of you anyway are waiting to see what I have been busy with ..... working away in my new studio, nose to the grindstone...slogging away trying to accomplish what I have happily agreed to do....

TA DA!

AND.....

I hope the wait was worth it.  These things take some time.....and I am not a production potter.  There are ceramic artists out there who easily throw 50++ pots in a day....I am more of a plodder.

The Plodding Potter.

BUT I love having my fingers in clay, and am so HAPPY to be involved with Juniper Moon Farm!  This Farm is such a welcoming place.  The animals; angora goats, cormo and baby southdown sheep, LOTS of chickens, 2 potbelly pigs, three maramma guardian dogs and a mule, are treated like family.

When you visit the farm you are treated like family too.  It's just that kind of place.

So NOW you will find these pots available on the Juniper Moon website. 

While the mugs are all relatively alike (they ARE handmade....) each yarn bowl is a little different.  The Juniper Moon lamb is on the front of each one...and the back has a picture of something from the farm.  If you order one, you will be surprised.

Because I have given away one of my yarn bowls before...My Friday Giveaway this week will be......

A mug and one of  my little sheepys!

IF you want to enter to win this pair....just leave me a comment telling me who (living or dead) you would like to sit and share a hot beverage with and why....then leave a comment on the Friday Giveaway post on the Juniper Moon Blog to let them know you entered.  Jenny at JMF will draw the lucky winner on Monday!

Good Luck!

And don't worry, I'm always plodding along in my workshop making more.

Ready! Set! Fire!

 So I have slowly loaded the kiln......

Layer by layer.......

I may have been able to pack more efficiently.... 

But that is ok, because I was able to fit in all I had ready!

A little paranoid that things were not ALL dry, so preheated for 2 hours.

Handled some more mugs (shooting for 50 for the event I am working towards....)

Watched some wildlife....

Checked out the new baby goats born early this morning!

Kiln shut off at 8:45 AM.

Can't wait to see that all went well.
