Pottery Update

Well, for my 2 blog readers I figured I'd give you a pottery update. Finished up a pottery class a few weeks ago. Still waiting for a few pieces to come out of the kiln at the studio but here are a few.

LARGE succulent planter or maybe a fruit bowl. It's BIG - about 18" across.

glazed. it is huge and was difficult to hold and glaze at the same time. It's a dark blue color closer to the top picture. I put the glaze on extra thick to get the super dark blue color but it jumped off in a few places leaving naked spots. SO - it will probably go outside as a planter.

A large bowl with an art deco-ish rim. I've been playing with this technique lately.

bowl finished. can't see the cool rim from this angle. The bowl is about 14" across.

one of two special pots I made for specific people. The first one the glaze was too thick so you can't read their name and it just looks like dimples. So, on this one I rubbed the glaze off to accent the name. I think I like it. It's a meduim size pot - about 12"x14" at its largest points

a tall planter. it's pretty small - about 4" across and 10" high.

two more planters. quite organic in shape. :0)

Just playing around and made a few magnets.

an older pot but figured I'd take a picture while I was outside this afternoon. :0)

and here is another that is growing some succulents

and to finish off this post. A picture of some natural colorants being infused in olive oil to make soap soon. Well, the lemon verbena isn't a colorant. hoping the scent will infuse. we'll see.
