Sangria is a great glaze and I really love it on this new texture. I need to make more things with that texture. Lots of leaves in this kiln. The grape leaves came out awesome as did the maples.
It's been so hot that my shelves have piled up. I have glazed and glazed and yet I still don't have empty kiln shelves. Here's the first of the progress though. My napkin holder and the pitcher with the new texture on the top look amazing. I hope that the rest of the grape leaves look like this one because those are perfect too. Also no dead worms on the mushrooms this time!
When I was at retreat with Michael Harbridge back in May, I was sitting with Debi from De La Designs and had the idea for a scandi pumpkin that was like her scandi trees. When I made the trees, I remembered that I hadn't made them yet. I learned a lot in my first attempt. The first is that I need to make sure that the bottoms are flat. The second is that I probably should have used a 60 degree cut instead of a 45. All that said, I'm still really excited by this and want to make a few more. I'm thinking a witches hat would be really cool like this too.
I had a request for a colander fruit bowl from a friend. My first attempt was much wider, but she was looking for something taller and narrower. This, of course, is upside down, but I neglected to take a picture before I added the feet.
I accentuated the seem with a second stamp.
This is the first bowl that was much wider. I still really like it and might end up keeping it for myself.
I really like the pattern of the holes on this one.
