February update

Ok, I know it's close to the end of March...but it doesn't mean that I've been slacking off.  I was on a business trip to Germany for 2 weeks during the last week of February.  However, I did make my 6 pieces before I left for the trip.  They are small bowls which made out of porcelain.  It was some hard work, I am not sure if it's because the porcelain is too dry or it's too cold, but the clay is really hard.  It's good that I didn't make big pieces.  I was rushing to trim them before I was to my trip.  

I wrapped them up nicely so that I was still able to clean them when I came back early March.  I had also fired them already.  So far I am still doing Ok with my new year resolution.  :)

Right now, the kiln is running with some glazed work, just 10 more minutes to go.  Can't wait to see them...some mugs, some bowls and a platter.

Garlic keepers and soup bowls And my TODO list is getting slightly longer.  My mom asked me to make a few mugs for her friends in Hong Kong.  My parents have been great supporters of my work and this is just to show that they think that their friends might like them as well. Still need to make more to fill the kiln, but I am happy with the accomplishment so far. Mugs to be
