The Mug I received from the Etsy Mud Team Mug Swap!

A few weeks ago I entered the Etsy Mud Team Mug Swap, and the other day this awesome mug arrived from the Barefoot Potteress!

Look at the beautiful glazing, and the mug has such a great feel to it.  I love large mugs, for my coffee in the morning so it's the perfect size for me.

As an added treat, there was a really cool earth clay button and sweet little soap and soapdish with a swirl design! I love them all!

Happy Halloween!

A Dragonfly Mug

This was my entry today in the Etsy Mud Team Mug Swap. 

I challenge you to say that 10 times fast.

I made this from speckled clay in one of my classes with my pottery instructor Sally Cornwell.  I painted the dragonfly design with wax resist, then dipped the handle side in white glaze, and the dragonfly side in blue glaze.

An Autumn Walk in New Hampshire

I took advantage of this perfect autumn weather and ventured out to the beaver dam at lunch today.

The colors are at their peak right now. This season is glorious but fleeting.

These were all taken in the Ossipee Mountains of Tuftonboro.

Except this which was taken at my daughter's wedding in Plymouth, NH last weekend.
