Just as lovely without a frame, I will have 4 unframed 2025 Peace Dove tiles as well. Start a new tradition in your Christmas display by posing this tile on a small easel or get adventurous with a wood project.

Excuse the poor light in the studio, but you get the idea. They're glazed! Yay!
Hmmm .. What's next?

Image of a bowl that has been glazed in a Saturday Evening Girls style but not yet fired. Next to it on the right is a vase also ready for the glaze fire, with a water lily motif done in a Newcomb pottery style.

This was the blue I was trying to match. Yes, that's a Saturday Evening Girls bowl, a generous gift from hubby 💕.
I think that's pretty darn close!

#roycroftartisan #pottery #inthestudiotiday
A plain jiggered bowl by the Saturday Evening Girls turned upside down. I'm holding a test tile next to it showing that the glaze I made almost matches the color of the bowl perfectly.

I'm back from a week in Las Vegas... And certainly not rested, but had a great time. Back to work today finally! The SEG style Lotus bowl is hopefully for the Empty Bowls auction in Carson City.

Grape leaves in the fall. I've already had some sleepless nights planning the glaze for this one. I've changed my mind 100 times so far about the combinations. Maybe I can start glazing tomorrow, or maybe I have to think some more.

All is calm... All is bright.... for now 😂
Sneak peak at the 2025 Christmas tiles!
I generally start these in August, cutting tiles, drying, bisque fire, and designing.

Image of my orange cat named Theo. He's laying on my desk with my 4x8 tile in front of him that I just started to glaze. The tile has a dove and olive branch in the center with bits of holly in the upper corners and the word "peace" at the bottom.

I'm thinking this design is highly stylized sunflowers. Very sweet! It's only about 7" tall right now... So about 6.25" when fired. No name yet. 3 more coats to go!

The first coat on this one is done. No name yet. I feel like you can tell I was a pacific northwest/Alaska girl most of my life. Maybe a touch of desert rat. 😂

First coat on the pinecone vase has been approved by inspector Theo 👍
Did you know that the woody petals of the pinecone are called "bracts" and the bit at the end that's sharp sometimes is called the "umbo"? I certainly didn't.

Progress on the Poplars vase. You can see what I'm working on next in the background.... pinecones!

So I unloaded the kiln this morning and here's the elephant ear vase. Good news, my new wax recipe is still good. Bad news, I'll have to refire this as the inside glaze crawled. BUT, I'm liking this melty look. What do you think? Too messy or just right?
