I woke up very early this morning and was excited to see what would come out of the kiln. I cleaned the beads and wired them up, photographed and already I have the pictures ready posting!
This one, I call "Elegant Pewter". It has a wonderful metallic sheen and the form makes me think of a silver tea service. I love the way the handle ends at the bottom.
For some reason, this one reminds me of leaves swirling in a pond as they dash by in the fall. I just adore this color combination and call this pot "Reflections".
This one has a very earthy finish. The glass used always winds up with the wonderful powdery blue/turquoise patches on the brownish red. It reminds me of a glaze that is used by a potter friend of mine.
I call this one "Tortoise Shell" because that is the effect that this particular frit on the topaz glass always creates.
OMG woman! Those are gorgeous! I particularly like the "pewter" one, but then again the tortoise... or the turquoise.. AAAh! They're all beautiful. I'm so glad you went off on this little teapot adventure :-).
ReplyDeleteWhat fun are these! While crafting these little beauties, are you singing "I'm a little teapot"?
