GEP

I've been trying to figure out this design for at least two years, and think I have finally done it. A ceramic tea steeper with a stainless steel handle.  It works with any cup, or at least all of the cups I make. I plan to start making teapots that will also accommodate the steeper. 

@GEP, pretty nice idea. Design suits your aesthetic and the raw clay too. Does the user put the leaves into the steeper, then put the steeper  into the cup, then pour water? Thinking about displacement...
(don't worry about the bail, you don't want it to fall over)

I think I have what I need to bisque for a raku fire I've been invited to. (unfinished greenware) 

Nice jar, @Bill Kielb! Making air-tight storage jars is also on my list of things to figure out.
I hadn't thought about a pivoting handle for the tea steeper. The item is so small, I don't think storage will be an issue. But I have one in my own kitchen that I plan to use a lot. If the need for a pivoting handle makes itself clear, then I will work on it!

@GEP The wash supports the delicate ink work. Lovely. Good form for the table.

Wow--I think you have expressed the very essence of the koi and the water! 

I developed a new platter mold, and a new approach to illustrating koi fish. I'm pretty excited about these.

Size?  Small, around 50mm across.
They're - umm, not sure how the plural goes, but singularly they are a Diz.  Used to convert carded/combed fleece (wool) into roving!  I hope you all feel much happier for knowing that!?
You thread a small amount of fleece (straight from a carder or comb, through the hole, and then pull it through, then you can spin the roving into yarn.  The different size holes produce different size roving.

Unloaded glaze load #4 yesterday; overall, pleased I am.
Only two crazed, over a new clay - everything else, clays and glazes (except new green, Rutile Green, from Bill Van Gilder's book), had been done afore, hence better chance - four pieces got bits of clay stuck on from blown up cone pack (ah was in a hurry there, oops). Speaking of oops, forgot to put in alla test tiles, hence first report on lower expansion clear will be next time; it does look very good on the one red clay piece, (thanks Min!), nice gloss, lays flat, and cleared bubbles well.
Aforementioned Wollastonite Clear liner on all (but one) red clay pieces; some of the buff clay pieces have Kitten's Clear, which behaves well on the buff, but not the red - microbubble-icious. The colors are Lakeside Clear Blue (Lakeside Pottery); Variagated, Rutile Green and Teal Blue (Bill Van Gilder's book); and matte white (Aardvark Clay).
Have a nice holiday e'body! 
 
 

Some wax resist stuff I’ve been messing around with. 

Swirls firming up for trimming.

Much like @Callie Beller Diesel, I have a full plate tonight.  In celebration of my youtube channel reaching 100 subscribers I decided it was a good idea to throw 100 bowls.  Now that they're all drying at a rapid rate, I'm having second thoughts on how great of an idea it was! Haha
 

Two down, 50 to go.
