Was able to put some underglazing on the whale bank yesterday. It is going in the kiln this weekend so I should be able to finish glazing it next week. Keeping my fingers crossed that I like the final product.
I was also able to pick up a few pieces I made. The first is a tile dogwood blossom tile. Some photos:
I am pretty happy with this tile. I had problems with the background glaze. It flaked as I applied it. Pam thought it would still come out ok. I'm not crazy about the color though. I am thrilled that the stamens (is that what you call the center of the flower? I can't remember) stayed attached. I was afraid they would break off somewhere in the process.
I also made a couple birds that I want to make into ornaments. The lighting isn't very good, so I'm going to try to take more pictures later. I love these little birds. The blue color of the first one is so, so rich and deep. Love it. It feels so, so good to make something. Pottery is so cool because you just don't know what it's going to look like when it comes out of the kiln. Maybe I'll give them away as Xmas gifts.
