Monday

Funny Little People are out on the slip trailed jug. They did make me smile when I took them out of the kiln. It's been a proper sunny day again today, summer is here in south west Scotland, for the time being at least.

Here is the plate that I slipped a couple of weeks ago with the white slip trailed on the white slip. I think it's come out well and it's being added to my list of "things that I must do more of soon", as with all my lists it's quite a long one.

Here's the apple loving dragon that the Funny Little People are feeding. In case you missed that part the FLPs are helping the dragon out, he loves apples but he can't get close enough to get them off the trees without scorching the trees with his breath. So the FLPs, who are good friends of the dragons, collect apples for him and throw them up in the air so he can catch them and then he gets to eat his tasty apples without burning the trees of the FLPs. He is a lucky dragon to have such good friends as these.

Also in the kiln that I unpacked this morning, along with lots of orders, were a bundle of slightly larger Humbug mugs including these three. Left to right: black slip straight onto the clay, white on white, white straight onto the clay.

This is the back of an owl plate, again white slip straight onto the clay body.
