Custom Order Farewell

Here are the finished ramekins that I discussed a few weeks ago. The glaze turned out just as I hoped. I made most of them entirely in Winter White but a few have Winter Green bands to give the set a bit of an eclectic feel. They turned out even better than I had hoped for. At the moment I am waiting as patiently as I can for an order of chemicals from Tucker's Pottery Supplies. It has snowed so much that I am not sure if they will be able to find my house under the mountains of white. I have a whole set of bisqued mugs waiting for a new batch of Stormy Sea Glaze. We have a long weekend coming up so I hope the chemicals get here soon. I would love to enjoy my Family Day stat working in my studio for most of the day.

Time to create!

There are times in the year that I just wish that the days were longer. I need to find about 4 more hours in my day to be able to make as much stuff as I would like. It is final exam time at the school where I work so I am swamped with marking assignments and papers while I just crave some time to get into my studio. I need to make a batch of mugs and olive trays, I need to mix up some more glazes, I need to test a few new glaze recipes and I have a couple custom order that just need to be glazed and fired. I feel very fortunate to be doing so well but I just wish I could find a few more hours in my day. I know what I will be doing this weekend...
