1.7 Firing (happy new year)

Just a few pictures to post, had an awesome firing the other day.

 Lately I've been greenware on the bottom of my kiln and two shelves of glazed ware above it. This way if something explodes it won't fall down and stick to the melted glaze. Learned this the hard way. Making some new sauce/pickle/olive/whatever serving-type dishes with utensils and trying my hand at salt and pepper shakers. Lots of shottie sets because there's been talk of possibly selling some at Clover Meadow Winery outside of Shell Lake.

This firing is mainly going into TUIH and Finding Joy and then I'll make some time to focus on my etsy site.

Shipping some wine aerators, shotties, cork pots, necklaces and a sauce serving dish with utensils to TUIH in the next week or two. Hoping to get some saké sets glazed and fired by then. The wine aerators are sweet, my neighbor bought me one and I've been determined to figure out how it works and replicate it, finally made some that work! Check this out if you've never heard of them, http://vinturi.com/. I'm selling mine for $20 which is a pretty good deal. Should have some on the website soon as well.

Bringing a couple saké sets and some shotties over to Finding Joy today along with a few other things.

These are actually from my last firing - a couple custom order cork pots for some guys that Taylor works with.

That's it for now! Oh, Lily's new family took her home on the 3rd =( Bittersweet. I miss her so much but it sure is nice being back down to 2 dogs. Hope everyone had a fantastic New Years!
