Here's some pics of recent stuff finally out of the kiln:

Joseph's plaque of Plankton. I really like the look of the green opal glaze.

Duncan Stackers in winter blue wipe-away without clear coat looks more black. Green opal interior.

Duncan Stackers in mahogany wipe-away without clear coat. Orange interior.

Red Duncan Moai. Also, an Orange Duncan Moai for a friend's birthday.

I've had inconsistent luck with the orange and the red from Laguna Glaze above. The above pieces turned out nicely. I gave Joseph a couple that didn't. The colors are beautiful, but sometimes I get glaze crawling in the bottom of the interior and air bubbles all over the exterior. I may need to thin it out more. Or, it may have something to do with kiln temperature that's outside my control since I don't fire my own pieces. I suppose it might work better airbrushed, too, but I haven't sprung to get an airbrush set...at least not yet.

Here's my latest Ken Ocorr Tiki Statue in Satin Black. Looks good, but for some reason this guy has a slight lean to him that I didn't notice before. Must be the heat wave. :)

Anyway, that's it for a while. The summer is getting busy but I will be back with more at some point.
