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!

Thanks Urs. Rattle rocks are made out of pottery with little balls of pottery inside to make them rattle. They kindof look like rocks and they rattle hence "rattle rocks" :0)

Those rattle pebbles are cool-looking. I didn't realize they were rattles.
Lilly's bowl is awesome.

Thanks Tank. Yes, the rattle makes them all the more fun. Sadly they are breakable so I can't hand them to 18 month olds. :0)~
Yes, Lily will be excited about her dish. I am going to try to make a few more with animals in them.
