Week 22 of Pottery Class and Finished items come Home.

A quick update on my Pottery Class this week.
We are putting up just one panel of garden fencing in an area I just can't get a plant or tree to grow ..I am guessing it's all the roots from the Japanese Maple and Carolina Spruce that is causing this.
So a piece of fencing is about to go up.
I want it to be pretty and I made this cute bird to put on the fence ...I may even make some baby ones to go with it ..I intend to glaze it in a lovely blue ..with another color for it's highly decorated wing, eye and of course it's singing chirpy beak will be yellow or orange ...or however the Kiln wants it to be.

So happy with it's little details.,,this was fun and stress free to make.

I bought some goodies home with me this week.
A lovely oblong bowl and some pieces of jewelry I made for myself and for friends.

I love how this flower pendant worked out ..I think I will find a pretty bead to hang on it ...

My photographs aren't so good but these birds have part of the "Lord's Prayer" on them ..I have a few friends who would be pleased to receive them.
I need to put on my jeweler's hat and make them in to necklaces.

I am so pleased with the glaze on this little 7" x 6" bowl.

I love to glaze the back side of the bowls if I can ..this one turned out perfectly ...so pleased with it.
I have lots of items waiting to be fired in the Kiln.
Then I will glaze them and they get fired again then bought home.
Some of them such as my Bee bowl will be a little complicated to glaze
But I can't wait to do it 

Have a wonderful day 
I hope that you have a hobby that you just love

Happy Days
