Here's a few green ones I've been working on. Been glazing all day today, should have some fired work next week.
A lidded box made to look like plywood, with a clay stick for a handle.
A windowsill flower box patterned after a locomotive box car. I put holes in the bottom for water to drain out. I think I might make a tray to catch the water. I added yellow flowers painted on the sides after i took this photo. Now Gary says it's too busy; what do I know.
A vase where I used the cutoffs as sprigs. Tomorrow I'll kiln wash my new shelves, then do a test fire in my new kiln in a day or two. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Great title for those little green ones. How exciting to get the new kiln set up. Woot!
ReplyDeleteThe tomatoes are making me hungry. I think the wood grain box is wonderful. I might just do a light wash of dark under glaze to bring out the texture. The planter looks fun, it would look great with bright yellow flowers planted in it.

ReplyDeletei agree with lori about applying some wash to the box...great handle on it. anxiously awaiting pictures of your first firing... may the kiln gods be good to you.
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia, thanks, can't wait to get started firing.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, thanks for the suggestion. I have slip I rubbed through to make the texture stand out; I'll see how it fires during the bisque then decide. The slip is pale orange and the clay is terra cotta.
Hi Michele, thanks about the handle, hope it holds together. Hopefully I can get it all together this week to do a firing. So much to do with the tiling going on painting baseboards and various other subcontractors running here and there, hard to keep myself centered.
Linda..:) love the boxes! and look forward to the results..
ReplyDeleteso excited for you to start up the new kiln...:)

ReplyDeleteGreat about the new kiln! I love the vase and don't think that it's too busy, at all.

ReplyDeleteHi Trish, thanks, can't wait to start firing here; will save a lot of time loading and unloading my car and taking it to another studio.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, thanks, hopefully I can get it fired, still need three strong men to get it on a stand.
Hi Marguerite, thanks, we shall see how it comes out of the kiln.
