I'm getting ready for my last show of the year coming up on December 3rd making wintery items. The show is the Howard County Holiday Mart. Tickets are available online for $5, but if you use the code HOLIDAY50 you get $1 so tickets are only $4. While this is my first year at the show, this is the 50th year for the Holiday Mart and I'm really excited for it. Hope to see you there!


Both of these bowls were made with winter themed placemats. The one above is a poinsettia and the one below a snowflake. Both were made with a slab, the texture rolled in and then I used a needle tool to cut around the placemat to create the edging. The slabs were then draped over a mold. For the poinsettia I used a large one I made myself from the inside of a wok. The snowflake was one of Michael Harbridge's puzzling molds. Both got rather large foot rims so that they'd look elegant off the table.

I feel like the poinsettia has to be red, but what color for the snowflake?
