Back to Back glaze firing (on the weekend)

Well firing on the weekend is a bit cheaper and especially the new schedule takes 14 and a half hours to complete.

So, 2 things I'd changed....

1. brushed on more mysterious blue
2. set the temperature to 2175F

It seems to have more blue now in the mysterious blue. Perhaps this batch of mysterious blue is too watery. The good thing is that it can be fixed, so I am much happier. I really need to have this kind of consistency as the show is just 2 months away.

The "seaweed" is not too bad either

I quite like the effect of this glaze. Guess this will be used quite a bit.

I like this peach and burgundy combination as well

January 31, great day to conclude the work I've done for the first month of the year. I guess it's also a great start to check off some items on my list for this year. :) Here are the pieces I made in January. I cheated a bit on one of the garlic keepers as I started that at the end of December. Some bowls for Great Bowls of Fire were made and a number of mugs as well. 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
