Hey everyone, MP here wanting to let you know what Ive been up to lately. I havent
been commenting much lately but have been peeking into other crafts at least
once a day. Everybody has been going off lately and its really keeping me
inspired and busy! Thank you.

Heres a few pics of my PNG mug for the tc swap

An outdoor pic with MP's studio in the background.

Here it is with a friend.

Here are the six faces of the mug. I was lucky enough to swap with
Artosaurus. His painting is hanging in my art studio. I love it!
Thanks Artosaurus. Im ready for the next one. I hope its BOB.

On Saturday, July 25th I had a solo art show at Boomerang gallery in Petaluma, CA.
It was sopposed to be a group show, but the idea kind of fell apart at the last moment
and I volunteered to handle it myself. Getting it done almost killed me. I had a lot
of paintings laying around mostly finished, so I roped'em up and finished'em off. Not the
brightest idea for someone about to show at the artist alley. I'm already back to the
grindstone.

Here are a few pics from the Petaluma show more on the tiki side.

This is Therm tower, I will have some of these in two glazes at
the Artist Alley (Pappys).

Therm Tower with the glaze carmel steam.

Heres frank the mug with charcoal matte. He will also be at
Pappy Hagglers with two glazes.

Here is the ceramic lineup. Some new tiki stuff and some old raku
pieces from around 1990.

This ones called "First man, first visitors"
I never finished the bowl or the planned glow to come from it,
but I hung it anyway.

Heres a little "Chop the mug" print.

We had a good time and I actually sold some stuff.
I'm feeling quite grateful lately!! Well, back to work. I will be bringing my
best to T09! Thanks for looking. MP
