September 7-13, 2021 Fort Collins, Colorado

 90's, sunny and smoky.



Fresh out of the kiln. I made this bowl using the puddles I made. It came out very colorful. there is clear glass over the puddles so they are 3D looking. It is 12 x 2 1/4 inches. 



The puddle bowl and the dot bowl together. I watched this duck in Spring Creek while I was waiting for my massage today.



Sunset was kind of smoke and jet trails tonight. I received 10 lbs. of Florida long leaf pine needles today!!



A few pendants I beveled and polished. 4 of them have ravens in them. We met our friend Jeff and his friends for drinks at Broken Stave brewery. They have the best stout called Latte that kicked me pretty well. It was fun to see people.



We all went out for dinner after our beer. Good food and fun people.  Sat we went to the farmers market to get some ripe tomatoes. We came home with these. They taste soooo good.  



These cool acorns are about an inch across. I swear that these are the last batch of puddles I will make this year. I had a broken masterpiece that had three layers of color, so I sandwiched a couple brighter pieces of it and voila- puddles. I love these, they are all different.



I am dying pine needles for my winter basket making. How could I not dye some chocolate? I set some more pieces of glass in resin for basket centers. Still need to grind down the edges and drill holes around them. 



The view from the deck at dinner tonight. When I stopped at my favorite pine tree to collect a few needles, I was surprised with a motherlode of needles. There was a big wind storm this am and it blew all the dead needles out for me. I filled the back seat of my car with bags of needles. These are long ponderosa needles I collect for the classes I teach. Now I just have to bundle them. 



It was cloudy and muggy when I went biking today. Later we got a few good thunderstorms and lots of rain. White asters on the bike trail.



Horse poop in the middle of the bike path. John is protesting  this with the park service. They don't see it as a problem. I sure find it a problem when I come flying around the corner on my bike and hope not to hit this. It is much more of a problem where the trail is much narrower. Ranger Rick told John that his bike trail rangers are monitoring this. . . Perhaps they could monitor it with a shovel. Some fall colors over the Poudre river. 


John saved the day. The power went out in my studio. John found a bad GFI and replaced it and I now have power and lights again. Thanks John.
