Also rolled out and cut a load of buttons-165 ittybitty flowers that will end up being about 3/4 of an inch when done. 3 variations on a theme, but they still need cleaned so guess what I'll be doing Saturday after I unload the kiln! Thank goodness I can bisque them then stick them in a box for a while until I'm ready to glaze them. Think I'll do a bunch with the earthy orange terra sig, maybe some blue n purple ones, and definitely some more off white ones. The spiral ones I did with weststone terra sig and manganese dioxide are getting a lot of attention right now on Etsy, so I think those will work. Then I want some pale pink, but I'll have to order that I think!
One of these days I'll take pics as I load. Maybe I'll remember the camera Saturday when I unload! Anyhoo, have a load in, and yes, still firing with the old elements. Shouldn't be a problem with the bisque load, its just the last bit of the glaze firing giving us fits. I have 3 or 4 (maybe 5? I forget) white clay orchid pots in, plus a dozen flora tiles and the two coiled tiles.

Clay has always fascinated me, its many colors and textures, the shapes you can create using it, even the feel of it squishing in my hand. Even after years of playing in the mud I find myself exploring new ideas and I hope my work shows this. Archives
