A fantastic week filled with great results!

 

Happy friday my dear friends!; I have so much to share with you!

 

Herb Marking Stakes ^_^

 First off, as you know, I have been testing my new kiln; so far it has gone through 2 bisque firings (up to cone 05 or 1888F ), and yesterday it went its first critical firing test, cranking the heat up to a high fire (cone 6 or 2232F). As I type I am curious to see the results of this last firing (it is currently cooling off, and I won't be able to open the kiln until a few hours from now); I must admit that I feel the kind of anxiousness I remember feeling as a little girl on Christmas eve, ready to rush and open my present!...the kiln provides me with that fabulous feeling every time I fire ^_^.

Needless to say, "Steven" (my kiln) has been a very VERY good boy!, and I am very happy and proud of his performance!...Long live Steven! ^_^


 

 

This week I have also glazed a good number of freshly bisque pieces (the count until last night was over 90), oh yeah, it takes a while to decide on the color scheme, and actually proceed to carefully glaze and wipe each piece so it can be high fired.

 

 

 

 This weekend I am looking forward to going bright and early to a flea market and a farmer's market, with the beautiful weather we've been having, I really just want to be outside!

 

I will also be baking up as storm, as I make biscotti, oatmeal cookies and pumpkin loafs to mail to my family in 3 different states, I looove to bake! ^_^
