Quiet, solitary beach, cool mornings that slowly warms up to a perfect 80 degrees, searching for cool rocks, digging in the sand and enjoying a beautiful sunset. Perfect vacation. (at Beverly Shores, Indiana)

Thursday morning observations: 1. Wow, that strawberry is super red! 2. It's great to see old friends like this bowl from an earlier time. 3. I'm really proud to be part of both @artaxis and @thestudiopotter. 4. Thank you @thestudiopotter for making my article available to the public. (at Bloomington–Normal)

I admit that this hasn't been the easiest summer. Unexpected responsibilities has kept me out of the studio all summer. But inspiring kids to creat art inspired by Andy Goldsworthy and Banksy certainly helps. (at Bloom Community School)

I spent today helping children reenact a performance piece by Dutes Miller and Stan Shellabarger called "Seed Drawings". Sometimes getting out of the studio to teach art is just as important. (at University Galleries of Illinois State University)

When you haven't been in the studio for over a month and can't remember the conversation you were having with your pots and when your good friend bosses, um, encrouages you to try drawing on paper, this is the result. (at Bloomington, Illinois)

I'm lucky to have a friend like @michelleclesse. We live in different states and bicker like two grumpy old ladies but every time we see each other, it's like we haven't been apart at all. (at Union Project)
