Everything in this kiln came out amazing. I tried a whole bunch of new techniques and glaze combos which has its risks, but I feel like they all paid off. Need to not let this go to my head because the next time it could totally go the other way. The first bowl which has 4 pictures is my favorite of the kiln, but they're all awesome.

All the bowls in this post are the ones I made from templates from my Cricut. I'm really happy with the shapes and how they came out. Next step there is going to be to make some smaller ones (and then likely some bigger ones too!).

A bunch of the things in this kiln are for an upcoming bingo event with my company. When Covid happened all in person events got cancelled and in May of last year we got a point where our leaders felt like we needed to meet, even if it was virtual. It was scheduled for a few hours Friday night, 10 hours on Saturday, and then another 5 hours on Sunday. After working all week on zoom meetings, it sounded awful. I needed something to entertain myself so I didn't go completely insane. I talked to a colleague about it and we came up with bingo. My company has all kinds of words that we use that are super meaningul to us, but not to anyone else. There are also lists of words that our execs say or use as examples. Last year we did it underground because I wasn't really sure how people were going to take the mocking. It is meant with love, but it is still mocking :). So we did it and not only was it fun, but I had a whole bunch of people say that it helped them pay more attention than they would have otherwise.

Even though everything is opening up, we are having another virtual gathering this weekend. But....bingo has gone mainstream and with prizes! My mugs have been so popular within the company that our marketing team suggested that they be the prizes. As I was making the mugs I decided that we needed a better prize for the grand champion (aka the person who fills their entire card). I felt bad that Sara, who won last time, didn't get anything so I made her a plate too.
