Spring Leaves

When these dry, the leaves will pull out or they will burn away in the bisque fire leaving an impression.  I plan to stain the leaf impressions with red iron oxide stain and then glaze the rest of the piece.  If I can pull it off, they will look really cool when they are done.  These are red bud and confederate rose leaves from my yard.  

Stacking Bowls

Here is the set of bowls that I made earlier this winter.  Finally glazed and finished.  I am very pleased with how these turned out!  And they stack!  

These took so long to get finished partly because there was a lot of stuff that needed to be fired.  But then, when the last of them made it into the kiln, another pot exploded and bits of it ended up inside one of the middle bowls.  I had to grind out the offensive bits, re-glaze and then re-fire.  

Lidded Casserole

In this picture, it is finished.

The picture isn't so great, and to be honest, I don't love it as much as I'd hoped to. The lighting isn't great--it's green and blue.
