Finally got to try out my new pumpkin cutters tonight. How cute are these?
Also made 4 more mermaid mugs because I've have a lot of requests. I also lost two thrown mugs from last weekend with cracked handles. It's my own fault. I was rushing the drying because I wanted to bisque. I know better and will bisque tomorrow without the rest of the mugs. They can dry a little longer.
The last set of pieces from the kiln were for my Bell Chimes. I took the time last night to string them all together. Took a while to get it right, but they're going to look great in the garden.
As I was putting stuff away I stacked the 3 plates that came out of the kiln. How awesome do they look as a nested set?!

Kiln was cool enough to open this morning and OMG the fish. I couldn't be happier with how it came out. I'll post better pictures after work, but here's a quick peek. This is the first piece out of the kiln for my garden stack.
Also on the top shelf were my pitchers. Super happy with them as well. Actually there's only one piece from the kiln that I'm annoyed with. And even that one I like it, it's just not the same color as the last time I used the glaze and I need to figure out why.
Finished up glazing tonight then did a careful wiping of all my bottoms. Kiln just finished. Now comes the waiting!!
In this kiln is one of my fishies. I decided to glaze them separately so I could learn from the first one. Also in this kiln are some plates, mugs, earring holders, outdoor bell, and a few glaze tests. Fingers crossed.
Sunday ended up being a really productive day. I made new pillows for the couch. The old pillows were just threadbare. As I was making the new ones I realized that I made the old pillows at my first apartment 20 years ago! They held up a long time, but it was time for new ones. I'm really happy with the fabric from Spoonflower and I'd order from them again.
Spent the bulk of Sunday glazing. It is amazing how time consuming it ends up being. I still need to glaze my fish before I'm ready to load up the kiln. I also re-made the zinc free clear that I made a few weeks ago with the wrong silica. I have a few mugs I'm going to use it on the outside on with decals./>
The dogs kept me company while I was out in the garage. Looking at this picture I really need to do another bottle melting to gain some space and also look like less of a wino.
Finished up Sunday making my own bead/earring holder. This is going to hold a lot more in a much more confined space than what I was using previously. I'm super excited to try it out.
