Every so often a firing goes completely over the top...the color in this group of pots just had me tearing up (not crying mind you)...not from the smoke in my eyes (I wear a mask)...just that special.

Of course it needs to find it's forever home and I hate to part with it...serious good color.

Busy in the studio...and I love anything to do that allows me to avoid the sponging...even glazing little buttons. I have to make a bunch of them as I am pretty much out of them...nothing to choose from. SO I've been told by the boss (read, Brenda) to make more of them.

"Yes dear" ...and move on.

Hoping to get the kiln load ready for later in the week...obvara, saggar and carbon painting next week.

Yes those are Christmas ornaments and yes they will be available...about October 1st for early bird people. I've done them in Obvara and Carbon Painting with feathers and the results from the survey are in (read, I ask Brenda what she thinks) and the over whelming majority...the vast super majority said that they're gorgeous. The raku version will be out later in the week...pictures next week.
