Kiln Results 2/10

February 14, 2025

Finally got my hands on pints of some of the new spectrum glazes and immediately put them to use on the wine cups for my sister's bachelorette. This is the first time I've used them on speckled clay. While I still really like them, there really isn't that much difference between bougainvillea, shallot, and sangria on Laguna 60. The big difference I've learned is that while sangria doesn't move at all, the other two move a little bit.

I made the rose heart platter for my sister, but I think I'm going to make a couple of more because it really just pops. I also finally glazed the menorah I made for her last year and then ran out of time to glaze. It came out amazing.

Kiln Sneak Peak 2/10

February 10, 2025

I have had this mennorah bisqued since before the holidays, but with the rush at the end of the year for shows I didn't get it finished. It is now a very late Hannukah present for my sister. Also in this kiln, way at the bottom, are the wine sippy cups for her bachelorette this weekend. Fingers crossed that they turned out well. I used some glazes that I haven't tested thoroughly which may have been a terrible idea.

Planning this weekend away for her while traveling 3 days a week for work has been interesting. I think it is going to be amazing, but I will be really glad when it's over.

Mock Neck Pop of Color Sweater

February 04, 2025

This sweater has some fall colors and some spring colors. The yarn is all from Miss Babs and is Yowsa. I used Old Gold, Garden Party, Zinfandel, and Dragon Claw. I use almost the entire skein of Old Gold, a good amount of Dragon Claw, and only a bit of the other two.

This sweater used a repeating pattern of a row of 2 half double crochet in the same stitch and then skipping a stitch. Then 4 rows of single crochet and chain in the chain spaces. I really like how those two types of stitches came together. In various places I used the pop of color in the garden party in the half double crochet stitch to accent.

Wine Sippy Cups

Adults definitely need a bit of a lid to drink their wine out of.

Crabby Sippy Cups

January 27, 2025

I really like the cups with the half lids. I decided to make a few crab style. I first saw this style of cup on a demo from Alexandria Pottery and her jig. I have the jig, but I'm actually finding that while I love the shape the jig slows me down. I made so many mugs last year that making cylinders has become something my hands know how to do.
