Our new site is coming along at expresslyyours.biz. It a site to show off some of the different shapes and examples of those shapes we are doing this year. It seems I’ve been working on it forever. Even though I still have a long ways to go I wanted to show it off and see what you all think.
**There are no prices as we are using it for both the public and our wholesale accounts. Feel free to email me for comments, availability or pricing.

kiln opening with bean pots
Yippee…two of the first snoware bean pots coming out of kiln today. Also a butter dish, fleur-de-lis star plate and a deep octagon shape snowman dish. I wanted to get these in the store this evening but it got too hot and I got too lazy. Will get them on tomorrow.

Getting ready to get a whole lot of snowman bean pots going. So far it seems to be a popular shape so I’ve been casting as many as I can. Had to slow down a bit as it has been so humid lately here in Colorado I wanted to give the molds a chance to dry out a bit. 
Some super cute bean pots mom and sis painted to the left getting ready to be glazed. Bean pot is just a handy name as these can make cute cookie jars, canisters, casseroles etc. I’m even planning on making some with holes on the bottom for drainage as I think they will make cool flower pots or planters.

hooked wool snowman rug
Just found a couple of these snowman rugs we were selling a few years back. These are nice thick hooked wool rugs we had made in India. I’ll be listing them in the online store this evening at $60 each. (reg price was $80). Only have 2 to sell (actually 3 but I’m saving one for us because these are nice)

I could not wait to show off these super cute snowman platters from our Wacky Snoware collection that Mom and Sis painted. Hard to tell what the colors will be as they sit before I start glazing but I know they are going to be fun and I just had to share. I’m off to get these and a bunch more glazed hopefully before it gets 100 degrees out in our kiln area.

photo setup
Since it is only about 100 degrees today I decided to turn on 6 additional light in our already hot photo area and make the high tech photo setup so I can take less time retaking photos. Most times I take around 10 to 20 just to get a half way decent photo of each ceramic piece . The problem is the glare from shiny glaze and the camera flash. I hope I can get some decent photos with this setup. Used plenty of zip ties but I went easy on the duct tape and bubble gum.
