I'm lucky this first picture turned out okay, as I didn't notice that the lens was in manual focus instead of auto focus. Must've flipped the switch when I put the lens away before.
I also went to a family reunion in North Dakota and am debating about whether I want to share the pictures on here or just on facebook. It's kind of fun in a way to remain "anonymous" in that I don't think I have any pictures of myself on my blog..maybe one.
The chalice is the second attempt as a replacement for the communion set. I didn't take a picture of the first attempt, as in it is being used already. The glaze didn't turn out copper...Now I know why. It was HIGH-FIRED instead of LOW-FIRED. There wasn't anything wrong with the glaze. As this one has a crack in it, I'm off to make yet a third one with no cracks and will make sure to put it on the proper shelf--not the high-fired one.
Am loving the way the vase turned out in the Sagebrush Courtyard glaze!
I take it that is Lewis and Clarke in the statue? What kind of dog is that, it's huge!
ReplyDeleteI like the shape and color of the chalice, too bad it cracked. Oh well. The carving on the vase is good. Nice work! Love you!

Hey Rob- the dog was a Newfoundland named Seaman that Lewis purchased for $20 in 1803. The dog has a bunch of kids books explaining the expedition in kid's terms. Just so you know!
ReplyDeleteKim- great pics as usual!
