We have been getting quite a bit of snow up here! I really don't mind the snow, just hate when it's too cold to enjoy the snow. Snow brightens up the day, and always puts a smile on my face when I look out into my backyard and see that winter wonderland. We are surrounded by one of the most naturally beautiful areas in Ontario. I'm lucky to live on two acres of land, and have a five minute drive to work, and a 35 minute drive to our summer cottage on Lake Superior. I wouldn't trade it for the world! I do have an appreciation for our four seasons, and I have learned that one needs to enjoy each one in some way or form. Just need to embrace the uncontrolable!... Look how much fun he's having?! ;)
I was finally able to do one last firing before Christmas. It is definitely cutting it close for those few Christmas gifts in there! It was a decent firing, with pretty much what I was hoping for. Here is a couple of pics of some pieces. I tested out a new satin black, with a dip of creme on the tip, I see some potential with that combo. Looking forward to trying it with some other glazes. When time permits I'll post a YouTube video of my last two loads with better photos.
I would like to take the time in wishing
everyone near and far a very
Merry Christmas and all the best in 2014!!!
