glaze berserker, that's me . . . .

i glazed like a fool yersterday.  dancing dolphin thanks for following my blog.  glazing is my least favorite so i was there from a little b4 12 noon to 7 pm on the glazing.  i chose colors for the dish set that wdn't appeal to me on my table so i wdn't be tempted to keep it.  this hobby of mine has to pay for itself.  it was a 2-1/2 table deal yesterday.  i try to contain my work when i go in to one table so if we have an influx of participants i don't have to move things around mid throw.

the dish set was what took the longest of course.  so here are the piccies:
prep (washing and resisiting, etc.) took 2 hrs.  image 1, image 2, image 3.
glazing the bottoms:  3 colors and a vanilla cream splatter image 1, image 2, image 3.
glazing the tops:  3 colors and turq and plum splatters image 1, image 2, image 3, image4.

i discovered that glazing the floor is my forté:  image 1.  you shd see what it looked like b4 the first mopping before this one.

i glazed a few mugs and a cup. image 1, image 2, image 3, image 4, image 5, image 6. image 7, image 8, image 9.

i had another one of those funky vases in the mix as well.  image 1, image 2

i glazed the mugs, cup, and vase similarly 2 each so one can go in redux and one can go in oxidax.  i want to know how a few colors look in each.  some of the pics are blurry.  sorry.  i use my camera phone.  when it's towards the end of the day i find i'm way tired and holding the dang thing steady is difficult.
