You will see here another before and after type picture comparison: just snapped a pic of the top of the kiln, still cooling and about 130 degrees, fired yesterday to about 2200 degrees at 4:30 in the afternoon at the end of a 12 hour firing cycle. The lower photo shows how grey and chalky pieces look before glaze firing. It is like a cake, batter becomes this beautiful chocolate dessert!
Also down there, a tiny teapot and cup for an elephant sculpture I made....YES, those were made on the wheel like a full-size piece :)

RESOLVED: I am gonna make more bee pots!
I agree. That batter bowl is killer...
Just gorgeous, excited for 6p.
great minis! i don't make but jeff does and they sell really well.
Those are lovely pieces....and the little bitty ones? Adorable. Did I miss the cake plate yet??? I wanna see it all done and purty!!!
First a cake plate and now a batter bowl with cute bees? Not to mention more teapots on teapots. I can see my Christmas shopping getting easier and easier! Good stuff, Gary!
Very, very cool. Love seeing the before and after. You do such good work!!!
Love the before and after. That turquoise is to die for.
Photograph them separately and I be you would be hard pressed to tell the size of the teapot and cup.
Oh gosh. That tiny little set is sooo adorable!
Oh, how cute is that. I'm seeing a miniature collection in your future.
