Tulipvase progress

Finished decorating the tulipvase, all that's left to do is glazing and firing. I'll glaze it next week and then it's waiting for the kiln to be filled. As Yolande, the pottery teacher, is producing a lot for Christmas, I probably won't have wait too long.

And another pot was fired, I expected it to be olive green, but apparently I had the wrong glaze. As the blue and white is black when you paint it, glaze is mostly greyish, white with a hint of blue or green or just murky. I still like it!
The glaze has bubbled on the inside of this pot, which is about 1 inch diameter. Just trying to decide whether it is a plant pot or a pot for the kitchen....

    1. Thanks Elga, it will be a few weeks, but some of the other small pots may have been fired by next Tuesday!

  3. Fingers crossed it won't be long till it will be fired. Can't wait to see it done. I have respect you can wait the time it needs, without having that much control of what's happening inside the kiln. Or even knowing how it comes out of it ;) But that is a big part of the fun i guess! I love the pot being brown :)

  4. The decoration looks lovely! I'm keeping my fingers crossed the firing will go well and nothing gets burned.
    The brown pot turned out great!
