POP! It gets all shiny and bright: the before, during and after....
3 seconds ago I popped the top open on the kiln, and saw this here. It needs to cool a little longer, but HOTT DAWG it is all looking good. The other pics here show the kiln and items during firing--I was drying a number of items on top which will be fired later today, actually, and then there is just before firing, and then decorating plates--the plates are for US. We are gonna use them later today, after a little more cooling. I think they turned out well, I can see just the edge in the top pic, the teddy bears...the color is all dull when you paint it on then POP! Gets all bright and shiny with firing!
those plates are the sweetest and you get to keep them!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I'd love to learn more about that whole process.

It is good to see the process. My favourite from this batch is the dogs and cat plate but I do like the godzilla teapot too.
