I played a bit in the studio tonight … Working on more reverse enameling projects. I have a lion (or llama – you decide) spoon rest, an elephant ring dish, and two stamped plates in-the-works. I hope to combine reverse-enameling with crackle glass on the plates … We’ll see … I also fire-polished my tile …

This week, anyway … We did our first murrini slab. Hmmm … next time I’ll make a round one for a kiln drop (imagine custom pendant-style light shades – for my studio!).

Or trying to, anyway. We’re waiting for some supplies to come in. Like a crate of Bullseye glass (they had a sale – what can I say?) and some stainless steel sheeting. [DH is going to make a vit speed pot for me!] Then we can really play with the vitrigraph kiln. So much so, …

Sent the last of our pups off today. Always a day of mixed emotions … So, I’m playing in the studio, with the music loud, while Chloe terrorizes plays with her Yorkie siblings. Working on some pendant pieces. I took my cabs from the last post, decided they were just too thick – so I …
