Okay… so I “may have” gotten a little out of control while glazing “a couple” tiles for a quick glaze firing. Not to mention the hundred or so tiles also in my soda kiln. Gotta have plenty of options, right?!

And while Cory has bugs everywhere…
I’m “buggin’ out” while glazing hundreds of textured tiles for our collaboration project!!!
Gotta keep glazing & get them into a kiln quick!!!

Roll, glue, stick, flip, press, repeat. Just adding a bit of wadding to every textured tile for my soda firing this weekend. They might look white now, but they’ve all got some colored flashing slips on them. So if all goes well, they should change to a range of oranges & yellows!!!

Celebrating a little TEXTURE TUESDAY with a stamped & soda-fired ClayQuilt I made awhile back… currently living its best life in a customer’s home!

A quick peek at my new textured tiles in rusty metal frames for the “4×4” gallery show. Handmade & soda-fired tiles. A perfect combo in my world… you know how much I love textured AND rusty metal!!!

And a few close-up shots so you can see a few of the details, textures & bling!!!
Shades of blue… hence the theme… “Interpretations of Blue.”

And here’s a little preview of how I think these textured tiles are going to lay-out. Trying to mix them all up evenly… “forced random” as I like to call it. There might be some changes along the way… but for now I need to start wiring it all together!

Textured tiles after soda-firing… getting ready to lay them out to create a wall hanging
tapestry for “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS”. Gotta get them all put together so they can hang
on the wall of Space 900 in just three days!!!

Also loving the mix of textures from using my favorite handrollers from MKM Pottery Tools!

Working on a fun wall piece for “4×4″… lots of textures, lots of tiles. And this is what it looked like BEFORE soda-firing… just a lot of tenmoku glazed inlaid into the textures. More to come…

Sprayed with clear glaze… ready for a firing! Fingers crossed…
