I always underestimate how long all this painting and glazing takes, but pieces like this make it all feel worth it! #pottersofbluesky #handpainted #crunchtime

I was just beginning to design Dalton's Brookie when I had to move away from the community studio I'd been working out of so there's only been a handful of pieces I've tried this out on so far. The dip cup in the middle of these platters can make some designs tricky to work out, but inspiration struck and working in the round like this instead of cutting across the middle was definitely the right way to do it!

I absolutely love the Common Ground Fair. ☺️ Feels like the whole town of Unity, Maine exists just to be the perfect autumn experience. #commongroundfair #Unity #Maine #perfectfall

What stunning dahlias! The stall I got my bagel sandwich from had them arranged up the sides of their tent.

Lamb bagel sandwich from Spark, with fresh apple cider from another vendor! Excited to try more food when I go back tomorrow!

Earth Loom, anyone can add to the weave, they put up one for each day of the fair, and then they're raffled off for different environmental charities.

First catch in my new Legacy Bentwoods fishing net before I even left the fair! 🤣 The maker is a regular customer at my day job and this is his first year selling at Common Ground. It's a gorgeous piece l can't wait to use and I'll have better pictures of it later 😁

Lots of painting in the works, getting ready to drop off at my first holiday sale in years! #pottersofbluesky #wip #holidayprep #backatit #lol,tit

Once painted, these get glazed in Celadon, looking just like a monarch chrysalis!

The first version was too head-on, these ones I actually think are pretty cute. What do we think, is the Jimothy work going to be a limited run or should I add them to my ongoing production lineup?

I'm more of a cool, jewel tones girl most of the time, but I do have fun with the Foliage pattern. I've always loved the changing of the leaves, it's my favorite time of year!

I underestimated just how tall these wreath vases are, nearly half the height of my kiln! Between that, and the platters it was a tight fit but it's all in and hopefully ready for a holiday market next week! #pottersofbluesky #tightfit #measureyourkilnfirst #bisque

The tallest of my wreath vases is actually nearly half the height of my kiln!

Luckily I was able to squeeze *most* of the platters into the upper half, though they also take up more space than anticipated but the opposite direction!

Setting one of them up on kiln posts like this is how I managed to squeeze two onto the same shelf, and it's cutting things ridiculously close!

It's starting to feel like fall! I designed my Foliage pattern to capture the mottled reds and #golden landscape of peak autumn. Accented with real 18k gold too! #BlueskyArtShow #pottersofbluesky #fall #foliage #gold #porcelain #handmade

I've made several of these large wall hangings, this one is in Foliage. Rather than individual leaves, I wanted to capture the feeling of looking out over a broader landscape with patches of reds and oranges. Pieces like this, designed to be decorative rather than food safe also get 18k gold luster.

It's a red clay! Nothing but heat, and that dark, grey muck transformed into this very pumpkiny orange terracotta color. #pottersofbluesky #redclay #wildclay #raw #experiment #testing

My deep grey wild clay actually fires to this bright brick color. Extremely porous, I think I might actually use the rest of the bucket to build a pizza oven!

The wild clay had the consistency of kinetic sand, I am surprised it held a shape at all. I decided to mix in my porcelain until it became workable just to compare.

This is how those bars of clay started out! The wild clay is a deep, dark grey as to be almost black, and combined with my porcelain looks about like average stoneware! 😂

This is the most #minimal of my designs, simple brush strokes to suggest a school of Minnows, and then dipped into a translucent glaze. #BlueSkyArtShow #simple #handpainted #porcelain #pottersofbluesky

A large plate painted in my Minnows pattern, the simplest of my designs, and the earliest inspiration for this body of work. Decorative pieces like this wall plate are accented with platinum luster

#summer is a great time to look for fresh inspiration, maybe the colors of these suilis make it onto a pot one day! #blueskyartshow #inspiration #nature #freshideas

Suilis boletes don't usually grow in a clump like this, with wintergreen leaves sprouting through them. I love the way the deep terracotta kind of red breaks to reveal an intense yellow through the cracks, I think it would look lovely as a dinner plate, or big serving bowl!

I do occasionally make food too pretty not to share! 😂 Chilled Zucchini soup, lots of garlic, and these lovely nasturtiums from my own garden! About the only plant that actually seems to be thriving, but I'll take it! #homegrown #food #edibleflowers #chilledsoup #safefromcyclospora

My manager has been sharing the bounty from his garden, I turned a zucchini into a lovely chilled soup with a lot of garlic, seasonings, and a splash of cream. I managed to grow the garnish of nasturtium myself at least!

Chicken, with bell peppers, carrots, red onion and blood orange. First time I've ever cooked in a tagine, and it was delicious!

This pattern is Dalton's Brookie, named for a good friend of mine and based off the brook trout I caught the first time we were out fishing.

Can't be more on-topic for this week's #blueskyartshow inspiration than a wall hanging piece made from the #Earth itself! Porcelain, minerals, even precious metals brought together and joined by fire. #pottersofbluesky #porcelain #luster #clay

A wall plate, done in my Beach Rocks pattern, but with a base of pearl grey rather than the warm grey. This is my favorite design, and includes flashes of 18k gold luster.

First not official pics 😂 of the spray can jar. It was a bit too tall to fire with the lid on and so I’ve had to do some serious grinding to get the lid in the gallery. Had to stop because I was getting a little more nervous, but will probably do a little more if it feels okay.
