Say three toed tree toad very quickly several times before you have your morning coffee. Actually this isn't a tree toad, but it's fun to say tongue twisters. I took this photo with the flash last night. I noticed this guy has three toes. He stands still unless I get real close so I'm now looking down so I don't step on him. Toads will not give you warts and a group of toads is called a knot.
Yesterday I sanded the edges of these leaf plates on a table outside before I loaded them into the kiln. My twelve before twelve midnight.
I fired over night and the kiln is cooling down this morning; it's down to 1200 F. The baskets are in this bisque. Hope all is well, more later. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

It would be fun to know how many creatures haunt our patios at night.
ReplyDeleteThis morning I discovered distinctive raccoon footprints on mine.
Lovely toad. One named Tod lives under the dog water bowl on the front porch. Actually, the bowl is carved into a very large barn footer, so it's cool and full of water, too. Perfect. Leaves are looking good, too.
