Almost Time for Dragonflies

Looking back on the sales last year, one of our best moving product lines was the Dragonfly line. That said, we are proud to introduce our newest piece the Dragonfly Ornament. It will make a great addition to your everyday decor or your Christmas tree.

After many requests for a look behind the scenes, I was able to talk my husband into taking photos as he went through the process. So here is a pictorial of how they are made.

I'm Looking Forward

Remember this? I just got another table full ready for overglaze this Sunday. I have six larger pieces to go to get to my base inventory for the Sunflower line. The first batch has gone through the kiln and is ready for the next step - adding the gold.

As much as I love these pieces I really want to move on if only for a short while. I'm looking forward to getting the rest of my existing ornaments caught up and adding a new line or two for the year. I've got plans - oh so many plans and so little time...

But this year it's not going to be all work no play. I'm going to take the time to go for weekend jaunts on the motorcycle, head to the lake and go thrifting. We've already been making short trips on the bike and I can't wait for the weather to cooperate regularly.

What are you looking forward to in the near future?
