THEY'RE DONE!!!!!!!

Well, they're finally done. We had a really good turnout in the kiln. The four you see below were all hand painted, then dipped in clear to glaze. I painted the one on the far left and the third one over. Ambre painted the other two. The one with the white dots was supposed to be mint green, but because it was speckled brownstone, it turned gray instead. You can't see it but the middle two are full on tiny little flecks from the specks in the brownstone. The little yellow one is one of my favorites.


Next, are the three we tried the new glazes on. The cup is cappachino mint and the other two are Tahiti Grape. They have little flecks in the glaze that when heated to the correct temperature burst and cause the spots you see.

These are fantastic. Ambre first dipped them in cobalt and Rutile green. The deep blue in the colbalt turned the green a bluish color. Aren't they beautiful.

Ambre let Haley paint one. That's the one on the left. The one on the right is the Whoville house. Ambre painted it with blue underglaze, then carved the glaze out of the trees. It turned out pretty good.
These three pieces were dipped in raspberry. The bowl on the right was only dipped once. and the other two twice. I like raspberry, it is a gorgeous color and turns out beautiful, especially on speckled brownstone.

I almost forgot this one. It's my little teapot that I painted last year and it has been sitting on the shelf waiting to be glazed. I turned out beautifully. This one is going in my china cabinet.

Well, that's all for now. We have five more pieces that are ready to glaze. But we don't have the glazes here. Danny's sister, Diane, has one and the other is at the college. Ambre is going to take them down there Wednesday night and dip them. So keep checking back and we'll have them up asap. Thanks again for stopping by. See ya later.
