Ok, so technically it's still July, but Christmas will be here before you know it! So today I spent the better part of my afternoon glazing Christmas ornaments for the fall show. (Yes, that's a wire dipping trick to glaze 5 at a time)
Other than the ornaments I did my first couple of tests on the coffee cups with words pressed in them. Hopefully the underglaze will pop and the clear insides will work out well. I had to hand paint the exteriors of the cups because I couldn't dip them. Dad got these really awesome fan brushes and I have to say they are pretty fabulous!
I'm also toying with the idea of a few pottery necklaces and maybe bracelets, so I had to try a few new glaze colors and was forced to take photos to help me remember which glaze was used on which piece! Fingers crossed that trick works!
All in all I think it was a pretty productive day, and those are always good!
