July 6...another glaze kiln unloaded

-
Image
  Two full shelves of mugs were glazed and fired. I am delighted by how they look. Shapes and handles vary; all are designed to be stable, not tipsy; each proudly wears the Winter Solstice logo and a beautiful blue glaze that fits the clay body well. More about Winter Solstice when I have permission to spread the news. Hint...think sewing and crafts! There are 50+ of these mugs. Have had some interesting requests lately for plates with ravens and a large cheese platter with a black bear. I decided to add some baby bears following Mama Bear and came up with these pieces: Raven Plate: Approx. 8"x 9.5" Bears platter: Approx. 10" x 13"   The kiln had room for more: Many mugs for Marnie.

This is a design you will see on many of my pieces  going forward. Carved, stamped, Alaskan. "Spruce and Moose" is the theme. Think small pitcher, heart bowl, toothpick holder, treats or coins. Or think anything you'd choose to put in these pieces. Vase, covered dishes, holder for large sponge. Floral arrangement bowls or mosquito coil holders. A French butter dish assembled. It takes two parts: water in bowl on the left; butter pressed into the one on the right, which is flipped over onto  the bowl with water. Leave on the counter, without refrigeration and with soft butter. One fish, two fish, three fish platter for treats. Matching coasters to place under liquid treats. Cream-colored bowls.  Clean and simple.                 s "Spruce and Moose" mug up close. T...
