Last night I messaged Mike to tell him I was sure I was out of the swap since the kiln was being fired this morning with the last 2 classes projects and I wasn't done glazing. I contemplated begging my art teacher friend to wait one more day but then realized even then I probably wouldn't be able to finish. :( I was pretty sure all hope was lost.

Then this morning as I was still thinking about it I remembered my original monochromatic idea. So when I got to school this morning I slapped some black glaze onto my tiles and wiped them down taking most of the brown and green that I had already glazed.

So far, so good. Then I chose one color of glaze for each of the tiles and put on 3 coats.

The load is being fired as we speak and will be opened tomorrow. This will either be the most brilliant idea I've ever come up with or a hot mess. If it's atrocious I'll be out but at least I've had gone out in a blaze of glory!

Thanks so much for all your support. I really felt the love, seriously!
