Oval Stoneware Plate with Buttermilk Glaze

I hope you had a nice weekend! When I try to remember it, the long weekend is nothing but a blur. Too much to do with so little time! And so much U.S. Open tennis to watch too. Today it's raining in New York, so tennis is on hold.

I did have time to add another oval plate to my Etsy shop. Here's the photo:


This is buttermilk glaze on red stoneware with added slip trailing.  It's a nice size serving dish and can be used in the oven and microwave.

Two Ovals Plates and A New Blue Mug

Wow! It's soooo hot in Southern California right now. And even though it will get cooler by ten degrees over the next few days, the humidity will be going up! We are not used to humidity. We don't like it. Go away!

I posted a few new items on Etsy. This mug is another of my series with the Southwest Swirl stamp. Will I ever tire of this stamp? Of this type of mug?  No. No. This one is almost a purple, but I called it blue.


The two plates below are favorites of mine. They have so many uses. Oh no, did I use that swirl stamp again?!  The bottom plate has a leaf imprint, fresh leaves from my garden that are rolled into the clay. I had great plans for my hosta leaves this year ... rolling them into clay. But the hot sun has burned most of the leaves. Even though the plant is in a shady spot now, the sun has found a time to peek over the roof top and do its damage. So the plan is to move the plant to a shadier spot for next year.

Stoneware Square Plate - Buttermilk Glaze

I listed this plate in my Etsy shop today, after selling a similar one last week.  I have one left that I will keep, since I noticed it has a little flaw.  And what else is new?  I only get to keep the seconds!  These plates were so much fun to make, I can't wait to start on another batch.
