| Goblets in blues and green |
All those white, porcelain pieces you saw in the last posting are now glazed and fired again. For the most part, all went well, but one nutmeg yarn bowl, the last piece to go in the kiln before I fired her up, was a trouble maker. Her glaze appeared to have jumped off, pooling on the kiln shelf and influencing a few nearby pieces, including a mug on the shelf below since some glaze dripped through the crack between the two half-shelves! Weird! When I say "pieces with personality" I mean good personalities. Seems I had a "bad bowl" in this group; although she didn't do a lot of damage, she was certainly a negative influence. Admittedly, I probably did not prepare her properly for the firing. A lesson learned -- and one, hopefully, remembered.
Fired 74 pieces -- including a few refirings of earlier work. Here are the new pieces:
 |
| Bottom shelf before firing...three more added above |
 |
| Another serving bowl with fish design |
 |
| Pie plate with leaf design |
 |
| Serving plate, soft blue and green |
 |
| Blue and green mugs |
 |
| More blue and green mugs |
|
 |
| Tumbler, small bowl with handle, blue and nutmeg mug |
 |
| Black gray and white...Keith's favorite combo | | |
 |
| New mottled glaze -- best with some accent |
 |
| A couple color combination experiments...like either? |
 |
| Bowls for balls of yarn or other large items |
 |
| Black and nutmeg goblets |
 |
| Black and nutmeg accessory pieces |
 |
| Black and nutmeg mugs |
Many of these pieces will end up for sale in galleries or shops; I'll let you know where, once I know for sure. Meanwhile, if you have questions, please
send me email and you'll hear back soon.
