And i think they get that attitude from their designer. :D Thank you Wendy. I bought a few other colours in those glitter glazes, a couple of which you'll see below. Cheers hang10. Those curves do make it feel good in your hand, and hopefully drop proof. :lol: And i'm happy with the glaze colours on that bowl myself. ================================================================================= Well after god knows how many months and over $3,000 my kiln has FINALLY been wired up and i did my first firing in well over year. And thankfully just about every piece came out fine. The kiln gods were looking after me this weekend. First up is a bowl i added some of my new moai 'feet' to. This is the one piece i'm not 100% happy with. The glaze on the moai's is a little patchy and there are a couple of spots where the green on the top lip bled into the white on the sides. That's something that really frustrates me but unfortunately is too hard to fix. A couple of Corporal Punishment's. A handful of my Staff Sergeant Nuoai mug. In the group shot on the bottom, the mug on the far right with the blue glaze is the only mug, along with another coming up that has the same blue glaze on the inside, that needs to be reglazed and fired again. For some reason that particular colour/brand seemed to bubble up on the top rim so i'll have try another glaze, most like a crystal, and hopefully when it melts it will even up and hide the flaws. And here's several more of my latest design, Bombardier Ellistay. I'm very happy with how these turned out. I have to reglaze the brown/blue one, i have two more ready to fire and then i have 8 more to glaze and that wil finish the run of this design of 20 pieces, although i MIGHT extend that to 25. Everything in this post has sold except for the two Corporal Punishment mugs. Send me a PM if you are interested in either of those pieces. Cheers swizzle [ Edited by: swizzle 2016-07-14 01:04 ]
