These are a few of the goodies that came out of the kiln this afternoon. I recklessly glazed away with glazes that I have never used before. I threw caution to the wind. I am happy! There are no true stinkers in there. And fortunately I even know what these glazes are as the clearly labled test pieces are in the bottom of the kiln. BTW, I would normally test the glazes then use the good ones in the next go round of glazing. But I was open to a surprise, even a bad surprise.
Now I am off to unload a U-Haul chockers full of antiques, art supplies, and art work collected (umm hoarded?) over something like 20 years. My friend is down sizing to a condo in a move to Austin. Lovely person that she is, she is holding a silent auction to benefit the Womens Protective Services. How could I say no to such a generous gesture as this one. It's only 97F and I love to sweat. Really.
Have a great weekend!

PS LeAnn I can't find my invoice. I think it could have been part of the stuff that was dragged through the black hole with all the internet blipping. Please can you send me another??
I love those colors. I hope your friend has a stress-free move to Austin.
I love them all, but I am especially partial to the starfish! That sounds like a great cause...wish I lived closer because I have a whole closet full of stuff to donate!
LOL! You are such a good friend, LeAnn. "... and I love to sweat. Really." LOL

Goodies from the kiln and goodies from the U-Haul!!! Now, that's exciting! The pendants are absolutely gorgeous! Love them all!
Gorgeous!
I blogged about "our" piece in "Stringing" today - the necklace I made with one of your barnacle pendants. Put a link to your Etsy shop so hopefully you'll get some traffic out of it (ummm...I mean in addition to the stuff I'm gonna go buy right now LOL)
