Not a lot of new stuff in this kiln. A few experiments with some new glazes that I'm happy with.
In all my copious free time (ha ha), I decided to take a sewing class. I just finishing my first project which was a pillow case. The fish fabric was perfect for Craig so I had to use it. Willow insisted on photo bombing. I don't actually need a bunch of pillow cases, but this one turned out so well that I want to make more.
My crochet experiment is out of the kiln and I'm really pleased. I do think with the next batch I'm going to go with different glazes that highlight the texture better. I was thinking that all of these glazes break really well over texture, and they do, but they also lose some of the texture as well. I might end up going with underglaze and some celedons next time.
One of the mugs I used a combo that I had seen online to really make the pink pop (neon orange and bougainvillia). While the pink is really neat, it's just too much glaze for this texture. The buttons made the mugs and cups.
The goblets also came out really nice. I need to practice a little making them straighter, but for a first attempt they're awesome. Really wishing I hadn't fussed with the one that I broke so I would have two sets.
Last, but certainly not least, are the baskets. The milk glass one is by far my favorite, but they all came out gorgeous. The long one is a little flatter than I was hoping for, really going to have to make more of a side next time. I need to make a different form than the one that I was using.
