The tea set is even better than it was in my head. I was a little worried when I first picked up the pot and the lid wouldn't come off, but I went around the rim and gently tugged and it popped right off after a few tugs. I will sand the lid a bit to make it a little smoother to go on and off. I'm hoping that people at the Cloisters Tea Show like it (and it sells!).

I love both of the mermaid platters too. I thought I would like the one with the blue on top better, but actually I think the one where it looks like the tail on the sand just really pops.

I tried out a few of the new Mayco stoneware glazes and I'm really happy with how they look in person. I made some test tiles so I could test out the rest.

The bunnies are also tests. I made them a while ago and missed Easter. Normally I'd do bright fun colors for bunnies, but I really wanted to try out these glazes. In retrospect I probably should have swapped these two with the Mayco glazes as these would have looked better on the spoon rests and I think those colors would have been better for the bunnies. Oh well.

I'm still working on my commission platter. I like the colors of these sunflowers than my last tests, but am not at all happy with the blue background. It came out really streaky. Going to have to think of another way to do the blue background.
