Here’s a timely new Wally adventure!\u00a0 With the economy and the debt ceiling front and center in the news today, it’s only natural that Wally should be riffing on this theme.\u00a0 I love the fact that now, when someone asks me what I do for a living, I can say, “I recreate The Sistine Chapel frescoes on pottery.”\u00a0 This minor masterpiece is available in mugs, plates and bowls at my online store<\/a>.\u00a0 But wait!\u00a0 There’s more!\u00a0 This week’s firing also yielded a bizarre mug for the Mitt Romney camp. \u00a0\u00a0 I just found out about the whole “magic Mormon underwear”<\/a> phenomenon and I couldn’t help but make a commemorative coffee mug about cosmic undies.\u00a0 I’m thinking that I could do a mug design for each of the presidential candidates in next year’s primary elections.\u00a0 Have you seen the pic of Michelle Bachman<\/a> on the cover of this week’s Newsweek Magazine?\u00a0 Inspiring!!!<\/p>\n

On the other end of the pottery spectrum, I pulled some really lovely red pots out of the kiln this morning.\u00a0 The glaze surfaces are amazing!\u00a0 They are just a little darker and “smokier” than usual, and the way the glaze pools in the cracks is truly dazzling.\u00a0 Here are two unique red serving bowls that are for sale for $55.00 each in the Ohata Kaki Red section of my online store.\u00a0 The one with the altered rim was a bowl that flopped while I was throwing it on the wheel.\u00a0 I liked the odd undulations in the clay so I kept it and trimmed it.\u00a0 Then it sat on the shelf unglazed for years, and the ohata red glaze was the perfect way to finish it.\u00a0 If you like this ten inch diameter bowl, you should snap it up in my online store<\/a>, because I won’t be making another one like it!<\/p>\n
