Everything with the leaves turned out amazing. I think I need to make some mugs with this color scheme at some point.

The dreidel crabs came out amazing. I think those are going to make some people who celebrate across holidays very happy. I definitely think I need one of these.

Laguna 60 Spectrum Autumn Purple

I am ready for fall. It has been way too hot and I'm ready for it to be a bit cooler. The autumn leaves in this kiln are just making me wish for it more.

I love how my chickens came out! I'm going to need help wiring them up, but I can't wait.

My test mugs came through with a few new textures. I think that the roses and the ghosts are going to be really popular, we shall see but I really love them.
July is apparently glaze month and I've got more coming!

This giant bowl is a replacement fountain for the birds. I stupidly left the last one out in the winter and it broke. I'm excited to give the birds a place to drink again.

Speaking of birds - my chickens have come to light in this kiln. They are so cute. Going to need help putting them together.

This kiln has a lot of mugs in it, two full shelves. A few are new and experimental like the ghosts. I spent the entire weekend glazing. There are at least 2 kilns as fast follow ons to this one with all the stuff I have glazed, or have to glaze. All of that and I still have a bunch of stuff to bisque as well. I've gotten really good at using my weekend time when I'm home efficiently, but not being here during the week to load and unload the kiln in the evenings really slows things down.

First I make the mugs then I glaze the mugs.

We built this fire after an insane downpour. We don't have a rain gauge, but I had a measuring cup on the table and it was 2/3 cup of water. I'm pretty happy with the results and learned a bunch. I had one small piece that just exploded, not really sure what happened there.


All the wood was wet, but we had some scraps from home that we used to light the fire. The boxes are from a wine club I used to be a part of.




If you look on the far right you can see the two larger pieces.




The star ornament came out really cool.




My favorite is the turquoise on the right.

We were at the cabin last week for the holiday and I decided to try some camp fire sagar firing. I did this at dusk so the lighting is low for these pictures. I underglazed them with different Mayco underglazes and then added copper wire, yarn, banana, and salt. Then it was wrapped in aluminum foil. These were some old pieces I had made a while ago that I had on a shelf. Looking at these I realize how much I've grown in that even these simple pieces are so muhc less refined than my current pieces.
