Ambre usually works with Speckled Brownstone, while I tend to go for Little Loafers. But there is a clay out there that is as close to the color of real Georgia clay as you can get. It's called Orangestone. We picked up a bag at Highwater Clays over the weekend and Ambre tried some out tonight.
Here is another birdhouse. If you scroll down to the post before this one you can see the difference. If you look closely you can see what appears to be white dots sprinkled around the top. That's sawdust. Ambre sat the birdhouse on the top of the kiln out on the porch. It has to dry for a little while so she can cut the holes in it. Well, we have a problem with wood boring bumble bees and apparently there was one boring right over the kiln. Don't worry it will come off when it is sanded.
Here is a soup cup made with Orangestone. I'll keep these posted thru to finish also. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave your comments.
