Stoneware Square Plate - Buttermilk Glaze

I listed this plate in my Etsy shop today, after selling a similar one last week.  I have one left that I will keep, since I noticed it has a little flaw.  And what else is new?  I only get to keep the seconds!  These plates were so much fun to make, I can't wait to start on another batch.

Stoneware Wheel Thrown Bowl - Buttermilk Glaze

I love this bowl and continue to make the shape, bigger or smaller.  And I love the lines that are created by using a rutile and iron wash.  The lines always seem to come out differently, sometimes they are pencil thin like I brushed them, then other times the lines spread and flow.  That's reduction firing for you.  Like the outside of the bowl.  Sometimes when I trim I purposely make the trimming tool shatter, which makes groove patterns in the clay, and the glaze loves these grooves.  Magical things happen.

I listed this bowl in my Etsy shop this morning.  You can see more photos and details at:

WORK IN PROGRESS ...

I have been experimenting with enamels on fused glass.  Here are my latest pieces that need a little more work. I cut 5 inch squares of glass, a layer of black for the bottom and iridescent for the top.  The iridescent glass was stamped with white enamel and then the pieces were fuse fired. These were to be slumped into 5 inch molds. HOWEVER, the glass pieces are just a little too big for the molds, so I will have to cut a sliver off two sides of each.  Here are photos of the three fused pieces and a photo of my mold. Should I cut the three pieces, fire polish, then slump them? OR should I use other molds for these pieces and start over with new smaller squares?!!! I'll let you know what happens.

GOURD BIRD FEEDER

Here's a gourd bird feeder looking for a good home.  You can find a complete description and more photographs at my Etsy shop:  http://www.RoseMarysClay.etsy.com  Gourds are so much fun to work with. You can get carried away with the wood burner, but this gourd is very simple.  All it needs is a cup or two of bird seed.
