107!??!

I was at the weekly Farmers Market selling my wares.  And, with a forecast of 107 degrees, I'm amazed anyone showed up!  (including me )  But there was a fair crowd, a special order got picked up, and there was a slight breeze.

Here are some pics of my recent firing, no major catastrophe.

Another Condiments bowl, I love the glaze!

There's a lot more stuff, but it's dinner time for this 'ol gal.  TTFN!!

Eyes "glazed" over......

I think everyone has their own favorite part of the whole pottery-making process.  And,of course, their least favorite.  The glazing process, picture-taking, inventorying, pricing, and posting to the web is my least favorite.  Just give me a bag of clay, a wheel, and I'm a happy camper.

I did have some fun today.  With the new "Minion" movie out, I decided to make my favorite Minion.      I didn't have any purple glaze, so I had to do some "creative" mixing.  Here he is, waiting to be fired.

We'll see how it goes.

Also did a dog food bowl for a friend.
This is inside the bowl,


And this is around the rim outside.

We'll see how it looks after the glaze firing!!!
