Last glaze of the year! It's almost entirely CRABS! I had to work hard to get all the small crabs in the top so I didn't have one lone one left, but they all fit. I started packing the kiln loose because my last bisque was loose, but then it was too loose. I didn't want to have to take all the shelves out just to get that last one in so I made it fit.

Second to last kiln of the year is done! I've done some more of my new patterns for bigfoot and the cats since those have been really popular. I'm also trying out an alien abduction of crabs seeing how that goes. I had wanted to get these done in time for my last show, but that was just a pipe dream. Better late than never? Last show of the year is this weekend at the Brandywine Holiday Festival of the Arts.

This is the first of the last 2 kiln loads of the year. This has some more cats, bigfoot, and a lot of santa gnomes.

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.
