These three cats are on one mug. I don’t know if they would get along in the real world.
I think this puss would get along with anyone. Well, maybe not a d*g, but who knows?

Happy Valentine’s Day!
I volunteered at Fleisher Art Memorial this weekend at their for their annual Valentine’s Day Print Love In, held at the Center for Works on Paper building at 705 Christian Street. For a small fee, you got a bag full of supplies to make as many cards as you wanted using screen printing, lithography, or stamps.
This is a lithography stone with a cat drawing. I’ve heard of lithography, of course, but have never seen it done. Read about the process here. At Fleisher, the stone was prepared and ready to go. All you had to do was ink it up, put it and the paper into the lithography press (Fleisher has a couple of these-one dates from 1888!) and run it through.
The finished product.
You could also screen print cards and pictures. I helped in the stamping department.
There were a number of pre-carved stamps with a Valentine’s Day motif. The Love stamp was especially popular.
Finished cards
I bought a card for my husband on my way out: Phoebe Muhrer’s Bubble Hearts.

I’m back in the pottery studio this week. I plan to revisit the tar paper technique for hand building. Preferably with some interesting surface designs. Here are some pictures of a vase in progress.
Happy Halloween from Gold Star Park
I was back with Color Wheels this weekend helping kids to decorate Halloween trick or Treat bags in Gold Star Park in South Philly. We had quite a crowd! It was nice to see people out and about on a beautiful Autumn day.
More Teapots
More teapots even though I don’t drink much tea. I’m not sure where these are going to end up. Some of my little teapots have found new homes.
