How is it the end of April? I feel like I blinked and the month is now over. I did something with this kiln that I had never done before - I started to load it and then just ran out of time. It was 2 weeks before I could come back and glaze again so by the time I ran it, I had actually forgotten what all was in there. There's some really fun items in here.

Alien mugs and tree of life spoon rests in new colors which is fun. My test mugs using my mugg pluggs have come out. I really like the shape and feel of these. I need to remember to see how many ounces they hold.

I forgot when I peeked in the kiln that the rose plates were in there! I made the first one for the bachelorette a few months ago and they came out so amazing I decided to make a couple of more. The rest of this kiln is basically all crabs. Like I said the other day, I think I'm crabbed out for a bit.

Refire - since the Spectrum Shallot ran I added more over where the birds were, you can see the shadow of them, but I think it looks cool	Laguna 60 Mayco black ug wiped back Mayco Hot Tamale x2 2167 Clear Mayco Norse Blue x3 Mayco Light flux sweeps

This kiln is mostly crabs. I think I might be done with crabs for a while. While they are my best seller, I am a bit bored with them. Maybe a different kind of crab, we'll see.

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.
