even more buttons, kinda . . . .

this is really more of a test post. i'm having problems w/pics. these are the buttons i have remaining that need to be glazed and such. they're in bisque state:

Set 1
Set 2
Set 3
Set 4
Set 5

i think i'll do most of them w/underglazes so i can see how they'll do in the reduction kiln. the texture was kinda fun to make on these. kinda like doing pick up sticks. (sorry i have to use links to the pics as the picture uploader isn't working for me.)

Well, I finally got around to glazing the decorative serving trays I've been working on. Here are the prefire pics of them glazed: Hearts and Beads and Bacchus' Whimsy. I'll be hanging these in my livingroom over the fireplace, hopefully. I've actually got to find the right hanger for them. They're abt 22" across. Big, huh?

Now, I've got the mugs done that go with the coffee pot. They'll go into bisque fire next week; Image 1, Image 22.

The dish set I've been working on now has the soup bowls. They're drying to the state they can be bisque fired then they'll be glazed. Bowls in progress: On the Form, Standing Upright, From the Top.

Now here's the rest of the dish set that's in bisque state awaiting glazing. I won't glaze until they're all ready for it. I have yet to make a serving tray and serving bowl. The pieces: The Mugs, The Dessert Plates Next to a Mug, A Dessert Plate, The Plates w/a Dessert Plate on top and a Mug Beside Them, A Plate. The Dessert Plates double as saucers. All kinda artsy fartsy, eh?

I've also got plenty of clay prepared for my next battery of items. :D
