I get so involved in my day-to-day activities, I forget to post to the blog, then when I remember it's not the right time. I have good intentions and promise to do better. I have so many things to share with you and lots of beautiful things to make.
Here's a look at one of my current projects, porcelain free forms. What do you think? My personal favorite is the heart in the lower right corner. The cat is a surprise for my granddaughter's birthday this month (hope she isn't reading this). I poured about twice this many but this was all that made it through the bisque and glaze firings. They are so delicate - and I always try to do one more thing with it before I fire it - that's when it finally develops a little crack. I used to try and repair those but these days I chalk it up to experience. You can pour a new one in the time it takes to make a repair that may or may not hold in the kiln.
I'm using a new porcelain to make these and have to reserve judgement till I have more done. Those gallons are heavy so the shipping costs more than the porcelain. I've found a new supplier who has a shipping special for two gallons so ordered some then ended up buying a lot more - I love to try new items :)
