New Clay and Glass Items

I glazed and fired my clay pieces this week and unloaded the kiln yesterday. It was a great firing, and I've been sanding mug bottoms (the clay has a lot of grog), photographing, and posting pieces one by one to my Etsy shop. Here are a couple mugs I made using the new texture tools I showed you a while back.

Here's an apple baker:

I also added some fused glass holiday tree ornaments and this stained glass train. Cute!

Apple Bakers

Here's what I made with a half bag of clay Saturday and trimmed them on Sunday -- Apple Bakers. I first saw them while visiting friends and potteries on the East Coast. They are fun to make and great to use in the oven or microwave. A cored or sliced apple with sugar and cinnamon, then maybe vanilla ice cream? These are almost dry and will be ready to load in the kiln tomorrow.

We woke up to rain this morning! What a treat. My dogs love to run outside and get wet, then happily look for me to towel them off. Here's a photo of them -- Sarah and Geena.
