So while I should have been glazing, I was instead making. I made a holly tree. I love how it came out, but now it has to make it through the whole process. I used the cone and sphere molds from Learn Fired Arts as well as the holly leaves.

This Thursday 12/7 through Sunday 12/10 I will be at the Annapolis Holiday Market. I will have lots of crabs with me (see below), but also many other items. Hope to see you there!

Like I said on Saturday this kiln is all crabs. There were actually 2 large platters in the kiln, but I managed to take a picture of the same one twice and already sold the one I don't have a picture of!

Crabs! Crabs! Crabs! This kiln is entirely crabs plus one reindeer ornament I snuck in. Would you believe there is still more crab stuff to get through the kiln?

Last year I bought a live tree to display my ornaments. It was great, but there were needles everywhere. I still have it, but it's gotten bigger and I wanted a less messy alternative. I bought these Manzanita trees on Etsy and then my husband mounted them to a board so they would stand up. I love how they turned out, but I'm debating spray painting them silver, thoughts?
Don't forget about the Howard County Holiday Mart this Saturday!

Three weekends in a row of shows starts this Saturday December 2nd at the Howard County Holiday Mart. The following week Thursday December 7th through Sunday Decemver 10th I will be at the Annapolis Holiday Market. Finally, on December 16th and 17th I will be at the Cloisters Holiday Bazaar and Tea - make your reservations now for tea if you're interested or just stop by the bazaar.

My favorite thing out of the kiln is the leaf bowl. My two second favorite things are the two platters. I love the green one with it's pattern, but I also love the camping platter. I'm very tempted to take that to our cabin.

Lots of camping series things in this kiln. You can see some bowls and soup mugs in the sneak peek. Loving how my leaf bowl turned out. I made that on a whim when I was making a leaf globe and had some extra leaves. I think it looks amazing. I can't quite see how the outside looks, but I used some of the discontinued Ancient Copper on it and I'm excited.
