#115 Rule of a Lady:

Your smile the sexiest curve on your body.

The beauty after the mess

After filling the house with smoke yesterday, we got to open the kiln this morning and see what all that bother actually produced. While a few pieces (mostly on the top shelf) had a bit of glaze-running down to the shelf, there are some pretty pieces. The chambray glaze from Clayworks is shaping up to get a place in my line-up. Iron lustre, while not really my taste for a stand-alone glaze, makes an excellent accent glaze. The combination of the two created several pieces that look like Tessum Stoneware cone 10 reduction glazes so there was quite a happy dance in the studio. To top it all off, both glazes seem to play nice with Ellen's Blue. Both of my little goblets survived, there's a few decent mugs, the left-handed shaving bowl looks okay, there are a few really neat looking spoon rests, and a small batter bowl came out so neat that it may not go on the sale table.

daecabhir and I did a bit of running around today - two stops to look at tile for the master bathroom, Sears to scope out tool box options, McKay's used book store, Barnes & Noble, and we managed to hit a combination lunch spot (Five Guys next to Subway - hamburger for me and veggie sub for him) as well as a nice Pho place in Gainesville for dinner.
