Lots of Bisque...

Woke up this morning to a nice blanket of fresh snow outside.  Although my yard looked like a beautiful winter wonderland... it's too early!!  
Anyways, just when I thought I wouldn't do anymore shows, I decided to do one more before Christmas. I was contacted to see if I was interested in going in, and was told that this is a first time event at this venue. I thought about it for awhile, and decided to enter. Why not... maybe sell what I have left from the last show! Apparently this event seems have exploded into a very BIG event with over 70 vendors. Sooooo.... what to do??? Make more pots of course! So, I have managed to pack another load of bisque, and it's glaze time! The event is on November 9th, so I should be able to get one glaze load in before then. So here are a couple of pics. You'll see some more of the buff clay pieces in the mix. I'll be using the Mayco wash on the exterior of those pieces, like I have in the past.  Since it seemed to be a big hit!  Next post will hopefully be me showing pics of my successful glaze firing! (Nothing wrong with being optimistic!)




Just for fun, here is a pic of my buddy in his new dog house! Yes... it's a converted wine barrel... and he absolutely loves it in there!   I have three words to share... I LOVE PINTEREST! :)
