It's what you might call a full kiln. That's every one of the Yacht Club prizes in for a bisque. That of course means that I've not a cat in hells chance of getting everything through in one glaze firing but I still have time, it's ok, don't panic, keep calm. Fingers crossed.
I flopped the slab that I slipped yesterday over the mould this morning. Hmm, not easy turning it over at the best of times, I'd forgotten that bit. Anyway tis done and I thought I'd amuse myself by impressing some patterns on the back. Takes me back in a different way to my usual manner of decorating the backs of things as a bit of a surprise. As I always say when I think about this again, I must do that more often. If I did it more often though would it be as special?

ReplyDeleteI'm trying to catch up on all of my blog reading since being away on vacation. Last night I read back over all of your posts that I missed and was reminded that your blog was one of the very first ones that I ever read, and it is still such a fun blog to read every day! I enjoy the virtual journeys I get to go on with you!!
ReplyDeleteYes three or four of the wee plates weren't dry butthe rest had been out in the sun all morning. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracey, that's a lovely comment.
