The flowers are so amazing! They feel like a departure from my normal work, but they also fit with the overall nature theme I have going. I still have some plates that are bisque that I'm going to do in this motif. We'll see how others like these, but I definitely want to make more. I'll post more of a tutorial on how I did this when I do the plates.

I was worried that my experiment with the nutcrackers wasn't going to come out, but I love them. I didn't think the grey was going to be enough, and I was right. The slightly colored hats really makes them pop.

This kiln has a lot of refires and they all came out better the second time - which doesn't always happen. Adding a bit more sand and surf really helped the lily pads and the pumpkins.

Only one ugh in this kiln. I made a large platter and for some reason I didn't make an x on the bottom just one vertical foot. Of course, it sagged. Not sure if it's savable, but the top sure is pretty.
