Cart, Tray, Waffle Cone Dishes

Cart with Green Wheels

Here's a rustic cart from this firing with green wheels. I've learned to leave them alone after I make them till I load them very gingerly into the bisque. Consequently this one has sturdy wheels. The inside is actually a different color with a little green in it, but it looks similar to the outside glaze. I've also learned to put these glazes on very thin and I get the variation which I like.

I was thinking these would look nice with a small flower arrangement in them. Since they are water tight I could put a small metal flower frog inside, add water, and make up an arrangement. I could also put a dried arrangement in it. I could see this one with just different shades of green leaves. I know maybe some fern leaves. I'll run outside and get some and see if I can make one up for you to see.

Here you go, just some ferns, leaves and wild flowers from the yard. I put a lump of wet clay in the bottom to hold up the leaves because I' couldn't find a flower frog. This little posy would be great table decor for an afternoon tea, garden party, even an outdoor wedding don't you think?

Waffle Cone Dishes

5 h x 3.25 w x 3.5 w inches

Here are the ice cream dishes I made some time ago. I like the way they turned out; I wanted them to look like waffle cones. Even a milkshake or smoothie could go in these. I was surprised they held at the attachment on the bottom, sometimes I get lucky.

Dresser Tray

1 h x 9 w x 7 w inches

This is a tray I made just fooling around with a slab of clay folded under quickly into this shape. I almost threw it away but decided to fire it; I'm glad I did. I think this would be a good desk tray or catch-all on top a dresser for keys and spare change. I'd put some felt pads on the bottom so as not to scratch furniture. More new pots to come so stay tuned. Thanks for reading and for all  your comments and encouragement.
