 During the summer of 2017, I created a new design reflecting the Milwaukee Downtown Skyline, viewed from Lake Michigan. It has been an exciting new design for me and I am currently carving it on plates and vases of various sizes. A night time silhouette carved in the black slip with a windy sky.....lots of fun to carve! The water is a blend of cobalt blue and turquoise slip, then carved with rhythmic waves.
Shortly after I displayed these pieces online and at the Morning Glory Craft Fair in Downtown Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Downtown BID contacted me to see if I could create their annual awards for an upcoming event. I created 16 vases for each of the different award recipients, with the award name carved in the rim of the vase.
 For the Holidays, Milwaukee Downtown also purchased the little plates as gifts for their Holiday Light sponsors! I was able to find a beautiful black glossy gift box and black plate stands to make their gifts complete!
Several customers asked if I could create a Madison Skyline Plate and just last month, I created the first pieces pictured below. I hopefully will be able to carry these plates and vases in stock both at shows and in my online Etsy Shop. If you have any questions about these items, please contact me.

Milwaukee is the city where the NBA MVP plays for. I am a huge fan of their NBA team because of their players. Last year, they were able to go to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. I am excited to see their new roster for this year. They lost a lot of key assets, but they also acquire some great additions. If I were to predict their next season, I would say that they will probably reach the NBA finals this time. 8/3/2019 12:33:40 am
I love your designs. They are all beautiful and classy. I like your choice of colors. I am not surprise that they noticed your works because there is no way not to like them. I am envious of your talent. I wish I could also learn pottery and make my own design as well. I love flowers and nature so maybe those will be my design for my first masterpiece if I'll learn to make one. 2/18/2021 05:03:58 am
