I received my order from Sharon Hoppe Designs, and Sharon tossed in a few goodies for me to play with. I dived right in and decided to take you with me.

I love figuring out how to get the most out of my pottery tools and textures. So, while I knew that this Montana Leather Design was meant for an adorable tray, I wanted to see what else I could make with the forgetmenot floral tiny timber. As mugs are potters bread and butter, that's where I started. I ended up with a very sassy, corsetstyle, feminine tankard that I'm going to have a hard time giving up. Man, I love my job!

Check out @sharonhoppedesigns here on YouTube and on Facebook for more tutorials on how she uses her amazing designs, and stay tuned for what Sharon and I are collaborating on. It's wild!

My heartfelt thanks goes out to Sandra Popek for sending me the butterflies and birdie molds for me to play with and add to my fairyhouses. Thank you so much, Sandra!
