Guess what? I gave her giant braids, now she's my favorite. This is why I don't throw things away, even when they blow up in the kiln. There's always a bigger, better opportunity to experiment and learn a few tricks, and that's the most exciting aspect of this work.

There were survivors. The dust cleaned off nicely, some baked in, but nothing a little fine sanding can't cure.

5 casualties. Precious, unpredictable, time consuming things. It took 5 days of cleaning, refining, and polishing just to get them into the kiln. Collecting the pieces I can gather(a lot is pure dust), planning on what greater things I can make with them. My record of consistently blowing up stoneware(this only happens with stoneware!) will not keep me down.

Another cloudy day. I enjoy the pretty light, but would prefer a smidgen of sunshine.

Saturday night. (Ruža told me not to get dust in my beer 😆)

Hello, again.

I can't wait to see them deeply dark and shiny fired! So many more to finish first...

Test lady.

Finally made a hand stencil, so larger, more uniform hands are coming soon!

Her button nose is my favorite.

Ten ladies listed.
