Beach Holiday

Just got back from a getaway holiday at Sunset Beach, North Carolina with my wonderful wife celebrating 25 awesome years of marriage! Our Indian Summer continued through the week and gave us warm sunny days, sure didn't feel like November. Here's a few pics from the trip. ..they don't call it Sunset Beach for nothing!

Raku Day...

Had a great day of raku firings today with a great group of people at the WMAC Co-Op. All who participated had some great results, I finished and fired my large vase as well as a single tile. Here's some pics.
