Funky Salt Fired Syrup Pitcher

Remember this odd pitcher I made a while back?




Well.....check it out after it came out of the salt kiln...rather unusual, quite orange and somewhat funky...although still retaining it's original oddness!

(I think pancakes might be in order.)

Saint Giles Icon

Saint Giles is the patron saint of protection from night terrors and fear of the dark.
When this icon is finished the crescent moon part of his face will be a shiny metallic gold or silver (depending on the weather and any number of other things) and there will be a sprinkle of metallic dots ...like the milkyway...in the background. I think I'll use a glaze that looks sort of like an oil spill for the outside of the box...hopefully, it will turn out all sparkly, dreamy-peaceful like!

I think these make a really cool and unique baby gift to hang in the nursery.

Pretty Little Wine Cups...Finished!

 Remember these?


Well, I fired two of them in the ancient, sort of held together with chains, salt kiln.....

...and they came out like this!

...so, I tried a few more glaze ideas and started the old kiln up again today.
I should be able to open it Wednesday......can't wait, can't wait!

Extra Pretty Wings

 Ohhh! I just love, love, love the way these wings turned out!  I'm really excited about the way the colors on the leaves change from one tree to the other....
I seldom make wings before I make the angel they will belong to but this time I did....now I need to make just the right angel....hmmmm
