I just finished another plant pot. This one has fancy holes in the bottom so the water can drain out. It’ll be fun to try different ways of making these to make the process efficient. Then I’ll start adding hair and decorative features to them. And if I’m going to give them away, maybe I’ll make them look like the person … or hey! Their dog or cat! I’ve got to write this idea down somewhere.

Busy Busy Busy
13 JulI haven’t been posting much lately, but I have been making stuff. Today was a second firing of a second batch of leaf trays. The incremental improvement continues. This time the glaze is a little better chosen and applied, the plates are a little smoother. Next time, I’ll ask people what they want, and start focusing on usable designs and sizes. I think people are going to want bigger plates than I’ve been making.
Big Kiln Day Tomorrow
2 JulTomorrow’s a first-firing kiln day. So I’ve been furiously sanding, scraping and buffing frog trays and leaf plates. It’s my second go at the leaf plates, so the technique feels a little smoother, less experimental, more confident, and fixed– except my frogs … the more I make, the worse they seem to get.
