Condiment Dish and Bowls

Here are a few photos from the latest firing. I didn't like this condiment dish when it was in it's green state, but now I really like it. I think it would be great if I made three spoons to go with it. I did fire a small spoon and two butter knives on stilts and it worked! First time I have ever tried using a stilt. Yippee!
Here's a large beech leaf bowl. I used brown beech leaves in the winter as the texture and then I hand brushed stains for the leaves on greenware and then fired a clear glaze for the final fire..
Here's a small wavy sided bowl. There is more blue than brown in the bowl but the photo doesn't show that.
 This is a large shell textured bowl.
This is a large oval bowl; it may be hard to see but the glaze got some speckles in it which has never happened with this glaze before. You just never know about a firing. Meanwhile I am working on the nests for my birds. I did pick up a soda crate. Remind me never to work with rafia and spanish moss again; it's all over the place. Stay tuned for the birds. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
