I'm not sure what's happening with the lily pad bow. It's growning on me though. It still feels smooth.

I'm loving the mushrooms. The new glazes I'm using really pop on those.

Who wants a mug with the forbidden leaf?

These came out amazing. This is the first time I've done the texture with non orange pumpkiny colors and the witch hat it soooo awesome. I'm also loving the black and white pumpkins. I'm hoping others love these as much as I do. I detailed the whole process for these last year in this post. Note: these are all fired to cone 06 and not my usual hot cone 5. They aren't vitrified, but since they aren't for food it's not an issue.

This is a light kiln opening since it only has a handful of texture pieces, but how pretty. Normally I fire to cone 5, but these are to 06. Still using bmix clay for these, but since they don't need to be food safe it's not an issue. See this post from last year on the process.

Come see me today September 9th at Boxwood Farms from 11-5pm. Tomorrow Sunday September 10th I'll be at the monthly Belle Aire Market from 9-2. Next Sunday September 17th I'll be at the Bel Air Festival for the Arts from 9-5. Hope to see you!

Made this leafy tree. Could be a Christmas Tree or just a tree. This is made with a cone and the leaves from Learn Fired Arts.

I made a bunch of trees using cutters from De La Designs. I used all the sizes. Debi did a demo on Clayshare a couple months ago on how to use them that was really helpful.

My big add is the stars on top. I used a nichrome u to hold it in after trying out just having it balance via clay.


Remember I have two shows this weekend! Saturday September 9th I'll be at Boxwood Farms from 11-5pm. Sunday September 10th I'll be at the monthly Belle Aire Market from 9-2. Also next Sunday September 17th I'll be at the Bel Air Festival for the Arts from 9-5. Hope to see you there.
