I'm loving my flower art piece. I wasn't sure how it would come out, but it's awesome. I'm also really please with how the nutcracker came out - he's entirely designer liner and then just a coat of clear. Definitely going to do more of this.
I broke my second cannister. I think it was just suction holding it together, but when it popped open it also closed and then broke. Not sure if I like the color anyway. Need to make more cannisters.
Just a reminder to start - I will be at the Belle Aire Market this Sunday September 11th. Also next Sunday September 18th I'll be at the Bel Air Festival for the Arts. Both are local to me in Bel Air, MD.
I'm super behind getting this up. I unloaded the last kiln the morning before I flew to Orlando. Then I immediately reloaded the kiln and started it up before heading to the airport. The upside was that when I got home it was ready to unload. The next day we drove up to Chaumont. It was an exhausting week, but there's a lot of goodness in this kiln.
I still have full shelves that need bisque, but I'm getting close to getting through the backup created when the kiln was down.
This is the most I've ever run the kiln in a week. I think the electric bill is going to be big. I did an empty run, glaze, 3 bisque, and then 2 more glaze.
I spent the whole weekend glazing to get this and the next kiln load ready. Literally spent the entire weekend doing nothing else. I'm working through the backlog from the kiln being down while still getting ready for upcoming shows. I still feel like I'm behind in all of this, but if I sell out then that wouldn't be the worst thing.
I think the bee cannister is my favorite thing in this kiln followed closely by the footed planter.
What the heck happened to that pumpkin (bottom right). It was supposed to be orange with the mud crack, but it appears to have just completely melted into a gross mess. Going to have to do some research to figure out what I did wrong. The rest looks good though.
I've been trying to get this jewelry into the last couple of kilns, but it never quite fit. I have a whole lot more already ready to go into the kiln.
Looks like my cannister came out aweseome. The big test will be can I get the lid off.
