Little Pretties All Fired Up

Little pretties all fired up. Every one of these turned out. These are all diminutive in size, window sill flower pots, small hanging flower pots, and business card holders. My photo cube isn't big enough for all of them but I wanted to document them together. There's probably a way to photo shop out  the sides but I am using Corel on this computer and not sure how to do that. Click on the photos to make them larger, it's worth the effort.

The beauty of having so many of the same type is that I can't be disappointed by my expectations. There are just too many to be distracted by. Not that I am disappointed because these all turned out better than I expected.

Today I'll try hanging the baskets to see how they work out and I'll put some business cards in the holders to see if they fit. There is more to come from this kiln load so stay tuned. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas day. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  2. Hi Suzi, thanks, I thin the Sky Pony was watching over as he was on the top shelf and pointed to the inside of the kiln. ha. I don't think I have ever had a firing without one mishap, first time for everything. Happy New Year to you too.

  4. They look so beautiful in a grouping. My favorite is the oval one "coppery green". Love the shape and the color.
