Thanks for all the support! Wendy, apparently I missed a comment you made earlier- the lime green is Mayco Green Opal. We received a number of sample bottles in the studio, let me see if there are still a few left (I might be the only one using it). :)

The blue glaze (on the bowl piece?) is Amaco Indigo Float on top of Palladium. The blue on the Rum? mug is Textured Turquoise (Amaco) on top of Amaco Toasted Sage. I've been messing w/ lots of (untested) glaze combinations- I really need to do a huge round of test tiles. Unfortunately, even tried and true glaze combinations sometimes come out different- especially in the Surf Shed bowl, which was supposed to have a blue-green interior, though it turned pretty green and murky.

I just posted this in the Art Swap thread, but started working on a new bowl piece. Haven't thrown anything in a bit, but decided to have a go at it again:

Oh, and next will be one (or two) Art Swap pieces, as well as a larger bowl that I threw that I'm thinking of making into an oversized scorpion bowl (a larger version of the bowl that's pictured above, w/ the same clay body). And then.... making a mold or two!
