I've been in a holey sweater mood. This doesn't look like it should be warm with how many holes it has, but its a nice fall sweater in fall colors. It was pretty simple to put together. I used this mixed woven mesh stitch from Nordic Hook. The yarn is Crumble Slumby from Kim Dyes Yarn. I used a 3.5 mm hook. It's the same stitch for 2 rectangles and the arms.
I can feel the end of year closing in. Not sure if this will be the last kiln of the year or second to last. I've been debating a partially full kiln to finish off a few things. I'm also just exhausted so we'll see.
I love how these leaves turned out. I used Orange a Peal instead of Jack o Lantern and the orange really pops.
Love all the camping things. I'm not sure that I like the Spectrum Floating Turquoise on Brown Bear as much as I loved it on Laguna 60. It's growing on me though.
My travel mugs were a partial failure. The lids do not stay in. Shrinkage really did me in. I think they are still pretty awesome without the lids and definitely plan on keeping one in my cabinet. Of course this means another mug will have to leave the cabinet since it's already bursting :) Clearly time to build a bigger kitchen.
This is a fun kiln with some new things in it. On a whim I made some new mugs - cats and bigfoot. I love how they turned out, we'll see how others like them. I especially love the bigfoot in the footprint.
The patterned mug on the brown bear came out great. Those glazes worked really well with the texture, especially the kimchi. It actually ran a bit on the bottom so I'm going to have to clean that up.
The cherry mug is super cute. I had the idea for that after my plates.
Finally, had room in the kiln for the starry night bowls. They are AMAZING! I need to do this on a mug.
This is my first time using spectrum floating turquoise on laguna 60. Spectacular! Stay tuned because I tried it on brown bear for the next kiln.
