Last bisque load before the show and more glazed pieces

The kiln is still very busy, one load after another.  This is the time of the year that I really wish I have a bigger kiln.  But my husband keeps telling me that it's fine with this one, just turns it on more often. :p

 So, I did the last bisque load on Monday.  As you can see I am getting desperate, I even tilted my plates to try fitting them in.  Good that they turned out OK.  Thanks Cynthia Bringle who gave me this idea.
This is how Cynthia Bringle loads her dinnerware.  (picture from her Facebook page)
This was me trying to fit in more pieces......

 This is the result for another glaze load (and there is one more load cooling down as I type).
 
The last 3 mugs.  I love these mugs!
Can't really tell with this picture, but this is an oval vase.
I love this vase.  And there is one more in the kiln.

Pottery girl has been quite productive

Like I mentioned last time, since I didn’t have a show in December and didn’t spend much time outside this winter, I was able to spend more time in the studio. As a result, I actually have some finished pieces ready! I opened the kiln earlier this afternoon for my second glaze firing of the year (can you believe my 2nd glaze firing in April, this has never happened before)—here they are (sorry about the lighting…). The bottom shelf, the initial picture didn't work out and I had to take another one 2nd shelf with pieces that I did slip trail.  This is my first time doing this and I quite like the result. 3rd shelf  Top shelf  I’ve also been trying out a new look for my mug handles, but they didn’t make it into this firing. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the next update!

2019 wasn't a good pottery year

Welcome to the first day of 2020!  Can't believe that this is my first post since last January?!  What'd happened to 2019? Yes, just like the title says, 2019 really wasn't a good pottery year.  It started out strong in January and then it'd gone downhill.  :( Last January, I kept in touch with the lady who interested in some plates and bowls.  I started making those plates back then, however, she'd written back to have those on hold.  It was perfectly fine for me as I was only seeking for new ideas.  I managed to make 7 plates and was quite pleased with them. Unfortunately work got really busy in the first half of the year.  I did a lot of overtime and really didn't have time to make any new pieces. Then the Summer came, many weekends were spent on the golf courses.  Again pottery didn't make it to the priority list. So, did I make anything else?  Yes I did.  The motivation came from signing up for my annual ...
