It’s hard when you want to get the stuff out of the kiln but it’s just too hot!

It has been a while since the last post. A lot has happened in that time. I did my first show in Austin at the Old Pecan Street Festival. It was a good show and it is easy to see why Austin is Weird! My last show was at the Heights in Houston. I had a customer, Sonia Jimenez, who spent some time going through the bowl of beads. She took some home and made some great jewelry.

Thanks Sonia, great jewelry and great pictures!
My last two shows of the year are coming up. This Sat I will be at St Hyacinth in Deer Park and the last show is the First Sat Art Market in the Heights.
I will get pictures up of some new work soon.

A client requested 2 colendars. I had never made one before but had an idea of what to do. My main concern was how I would place the holes and how long it might take to poke all those holes. As it turns out it wasn’t as bad as I had imagined! I thought it necessary to create a 3 pointed design so that I could easily place the 3 feet. I made 4 colendars so that my client would have a choice of color. Here are two of the colendars.

I have a bucket of glaze that has just accumulated unused glazes. I tried it out and got a nice blue violet. Here is a platter with the glaze surrounded by the runny cream color.

Perhaps my favorite glazed pitcher EVER!

Finally, I love the idea of a carafe with stackable cups. This is one of the 3 sets I just completed.

A little trouble in the kiln. My green glaze was too thick and ran onto a couple of shelves! Other than that, there are some nice looking cups and business card holders in this batch.
