Pottery

Fresh out of the kiln! :0)

Here's a few pieces I've been working on. I also have a few top secret projects that aren't shown here. Sadly one of them cracked so I have to start over on that. Oh well. "No PPS," my instructor always says. (precious pot syndrome)

a tray. About 12" square. I've decided I don't like two colors on a piece with texture. I'll stick to one color next time.


An organic shaped pot. Was originally going to be a planter for succulents. It still might be but I glazed the inside and plants aren't crazy about that. And it "handles" well so it MAY be a serving piece of some type.

A little bird platter. It's about 14" long. The green is matte and the blue is shiny. It works but maybe considered odd by some. Its a really pretty green in person though.

So. this piece has the SAME green as the above piece but must have been put in a different spot in the kiln. So it went pink! Ha. I like this piece but its a little weird. AND for some reason I THOUGHT I was glazing it blue and khaki. oppsy.

So THESE are blue and khaki. Not sure why they call it khaki as it is sortof a terra cotta orange or sometimes brown but I like it.

A couple fun little bowls. made for someone special. (hopefully they won't see the blog, and if they do they will have to act surprised later)
A little green dish for Lily. Its a little too cute!
And here's a dish with some rattle rocks. They turned out groovy. I have a bowl of them on my bookcase that are fun to rattle. Sometimes I call them pottery pebbles and add them to potted plants for added visual interest. :0) I have another 4-5 that I'll glaze in the next week or so.

Well, there is the collection for today. I think its now time for some chic-fil-a up at Lakecreek ofcourse. And then a little glass fusing this afternoon!
