Clean Studio = Tired, But HAPPY!
Spent a couple of days this week cleaning up/organizing my haven, uhh STUDIO! Good golly, it’s been a while. But she’s all back together – I can find stuff, AND I have open spaces to work! What a cool idea!!! DH and I had our pink cane pull. While it didn’t do what I thought …
Fingers Crossed …
My back is on fire, but I have three kilns running, jewelry tiles cooking and a new product line just about ready to go … Fingers crossed that my kilns behave! My studio is a disaster, but – ya know … I was CREATING! It’s all good. Here’s what I’ve got: Our next couple of …
More Reverse Enamel Trials …
The good news – I have my bubble squeeze program down pat! Here are my latest spoon rests fired with white luminescent backing. The bad news – I’m still having issues with color burn out, even while adding more venting … So, I’m trying a different enamel. Nothing like diving in, so here are more …

A pre-fire/post-fire comparison: Of course, I could try to play off the changes, like some post-diagnostic STD slides … But, no – I tried to follow guide-lines. My layers were not so thick that they caused cracking … Apparently, FM-HF peach, yellow and red get some deep level V-D ‘spots’ … Who knew?!? I’m glad …
Moo Goo Gai Pan & Studio Work …
Like much of my cooking, what started out as a small meal turned into enough to feed an army (squad – at least!) … I had a hankering for some stir-fry veggies, stumbled on this Moo Goo Gai Pan recipe (DH loves the name!), altered a bit with spices and veggie selection … Here’s my …
Donuts, stacks, cane & squishy faces …
Life is good! I finished up a few new pendants … I like them! The mica base is colorful and fun … Plus – I have 6 more in the works! Meanwhile, I continue with my murrini/cane madness … We did our green pull tonight. I’ve got our next few stacks cut and ready to …
