  1. Oh... WOW... These are absolutely TOO DIVINE!! I love the red one with the crescent moon the best! ♥♥♥The little obe in the middle is beautiful, too.
  2. Dude. These are friggin perfect. How the heck did you do that?! Omg, I`m totally jelly...
  3. Wow, Skutt is sure Johnny-on-the-spot for their parts delivery! Ordered the switch box yesterday and got it delivered today! :) ...this looks scary...

      Just take one wire off at a time and attach it to the exact same location on the new block. Easy peasy! :D

      I'm actually gonna wait for my fella to come back from his trip to install it. All that wire work will kill my creaky fingers... :'(

  4. I finally got around to making an underglaze key today! Shoulda made one ages ago, honestly. With my shiny clear, what you see is NOT what you get! :)

      Gerstley is the worst culprit in my opinion. It does all of the above to color and also causes bleeding of colors. Find a zinc free recipe and your colors will get better immediately.

      Ooooh really? Huh, that's interesting. I confess I really enjoy the bleeding in my copper carb and mazerine blue, though. That might explain why Mayco's cobalt blue UG REALLY looked awful with that glaze...it makes for such beautiful bleeding effects for my shading, too. :) I think so long as my black is stable, I'm good. ♥

      As long as you know what gonna happen, you can control outcome. Just don't trust it with green! :-)

  5. Wow, coooool! It looks like granite!
  6. I pretty much love the crap out of this. It has all my favorite colors!
  7. Squeeeee! So adorable! ♥♥♥
  8. Wow, thank you both, ladies. It`s so great to hear such wonderful feedback from other artists who understand the painstaking work that goes into these pieces. It makes my work feel worthwhile.
  9. Gallery backed out on me. Stings quite a bit, but I guess that means I can sell those pieces on my own. I'm a pretty grumpy guinea right now, though.

      A former teacher, my High School Art Teacher as a matter of fact, once told me, "Don't spend time worrying about things you can't control." There are a lot of things in life we can't control. Two of the biggest are weather and people. We just have to find an alternative, when either thing presents an obstacle.

      Gorgeous as always! If you don't mind, I'd like to show my students pictures of your work, to show them what's possible with underglaze.

      Also, I too like the black and white, with terracotta showing through. I figured it took less time, as you verified. That would be a great time saver for you.

      Absolutely beautiful.

  12. From the album: Late 2015

    This is my best mug to date. The back has carvings, but it was impossible to photograph...well, for ME it was, haha! It probably holds 20oz, so it's a good size. I wanted to make a new mythology about how flowers grow... Terracotta with white slip and greenware-applied underglaze, fired to ^03.

    And this is why I love terracotta. Look at that delicious red. Measures 8" across, terracotta with greenware-applied underglaze, fired to ^03.

    Fuzzy goat...I bet he's gonna eat those pansies. Measures 9.5" across, made of whiteware, greenware underglazed, fired to ^03.
  15. OOOOOH I LIKE this one! You could use it as a chalice or a sweet decorative piece. Cool!
  16. I have never been so grateful to fire my kiln in my life. Fred is really my lifeline, and having power is such a blessing! I'll have pics the day after tomorrow. :)

      I don't have an uncle but we have a friend that is a electrician, master plumber and heating and air repairman.

  19. Fred, my beloved little firebox, you are gonna be the death of me. ARGH. #firingtrouble

  20. Kiln loaded with a whopping three pieces and a buncha kiln posts for filler. This is my first bisque in the garage...I'm mother-henning it hardcore!

      I literally kept him on low all night! :D I woke up and switched him up to medium, but have been checking the plug every half hour, lol! Hnnghhh... I hope I can relax a bit for glaze firing. :D

  21. So, guess who got her pottery juried into a gallery for an animal charity event? This rodent! 20% goes to charity and the rest is for me. SO PROUD. ^_^
