This week I finished putting the handles on both of my pitchers and one of them dried enough to be bisked and I glazed it on monday! I did a shadow green over the top of dark blue leaving room for drippage, but it still stuck to the kiln a little bit. I love it though. The colors blend together beautifully and the dripping looks good as well. It did crawl a little bit though which I do not like, but you can hardly tell with the dark color of the glaze. Also I got my purple bowl back, and the kiln did not get up to temp so its not shiny like it should be, and the glaze did crawl but I love love love how it turned out!! Instead of just a plain purple bowl now, it has a little unintended, but wonderful flare. I also made a very large bowl this week and I'm going to draw swirlies on it to give it some umph and decoration.

This week I had a minature competition in a way with Doug. Sooo, I had to show off my skills a little bit and put him in his place and show him up! We both made pitchers, but mine was better, :) and then I made another one later in the week. Then we both made handles and attached them together. And once again my experience won and my handles turned out slightly better than his. It was fun though. I'm going to give one of them to my mom for mothers day because I didn't get her anything and she has been saying that she wants one! My foot ring on both of them is actually beautifull as well. I'm very excited about them.

This week I made a perfect bowl that was fairly large and as I was trying to pry it off the wheel I stabbed a hole right through it! :( Somehow I was able to mend it up as best as I could and I think it will turn out all right. I also made another bowl that was super off center and completely horrible. I had to let it dry upside down so the whole thing didn't collapse on itself as the wall was too thin in one area to hold the rest up! I footed them though and they'll turn out fine.
