And sure, let’s not get crazy… there were a few stamped porcelain bowls in that kiln too!!! All ready for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend!!! Just in the nick of time…

Not only did I get a lot of bowls, mugs, vases & more out of my soda kiln…
I also go a box FULL of wheelthrown ornaments!!!

Some of them need a smidge of cleaning up…
and then all of them will get a metal ring to hang from!
Lots of ornaments at the HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend!!!

Sure, some of the bowls that came out last night were pretty darn sweet… if I do say so myself… the stamping, the glaze, the spiral. But sometimes it’s the back side of the bowl that is really STUNNING!!! Beautiful flashing marks on many of the bowls where you can practically see the flames blowing past & kissing the pots!

Fresh from the soda kiln… and still a bit warm for a “slightly late” Mugshot Monday!!!

First sneak peek into the kiln… cooling… unloading tonight!!!
Let the treasure hunt begin!!!

Stamping up another batch of small cups & tea bowls.
Adding texture as my Holiday Home Show is just two weeks away!!!

MY HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS : Saturday, November 23rd & Sunday, November 24th

Adding some colored flashing slip accents to this latest batch of mugs. They will go into my soda kiln next weekend where these muted slip colors will react in the soda atmosphere to create some brighter colors & magical effects… if all goes as planned.

While getting ready to load a bisque kiln, I inadvertently ran across the “suddenly stacked set” of now-called nesting bowls?! We’ll see if they still go together after my soda-firing???

Sweet little porcelain mug kissed & blushing with a nice flash of soda!

Always fun to see one of your mugs “pop-up” on someone else’s Instagram feed. Looks like my friend & former student Pam has been “test-driving” mugs from her collection to replace the “everyday” mug that broke! She was a long-time tile-maker who scoffed at wheelthrowing. Of course I tried & tried to convince her… until I released her inner wheelthrowing beast… and you should see her now!!! Check out her Instagram feed to see what she’s been up to.

Spoiler alert… no more tiles!!!
