These were so fun to make!

Impatiently waiting for the kiln to cool and now impatiently waiting for these jars to set up...π

I may be in love with these daffodils π§‘

Travel mugs and butter bells in soft pale blues and greens adorned with 3D sage leaves that protrude slightly from the surface giving a wonderful tactile feel.
So happy with this batch of botanical work!

After applying a black wash to the surface, the very tedious & time consuming masking process begins. I use liquid latex and love it way more than wax.
These botanical pieces are a labor of loveπ§‘

Thank you, I'm hoping to have them out of the kiln Wednesday. ππΌ So exciting!

Let the glazing prep commence!

Who else has a mountain of stuff to glaze? My least favorite part...π

One of my favorite winter finds are ice formations on glass in the wee morning hours. Simply mesmerizing and magicalβ¨

Finished trimming, adding leaves, and stems to all the Apple bowls. Most of them are about 1 quart but I made a couple big mixing bowls too. Can't wait to glaze them in a week!

Threw a bunch of apple bowls yesterday. After manipulating the rim and firming up over night I can trim and add the decorative leaves and stems today. I'll update later!

Iβm thrilled to share my botanical illustration of Rosemary! Its fragrant leaves and delicate form make it both a joy to draw and a timeless symbol of memory and resilience.π

If things are drying too fast, I just spray a bunch of water on the inside and close it up.

It has taken many years of practice and patienceπ My absolute favorite beginner tool for getting things to match is the shrink ruler. It's double-sided and has the most common shrink rates of clay. I now use a throwing gauge on my wheel.
