Also I had some test tiles emerge from the kiln. The top one is a tester for my blob bowls, just to be doubly sure how the white glaze would react with the bowls...I am really pleased, now I just have to get the two bowls glazed! The darker spots are the green slip, the paler spots (also green) are the blue slip...there is some copper in the blue slip, so that must be why it has reacted that way. The ornaments below are some I made for myself using up the last of my slip that I rolled into long snakes and then braided. They look really good I think!
And finally these test tiles came out for the blue and yellow herb planter. I am glad I tested as the colours did not really react as I thought! I should be able to get it to look like the one on the bottom right with blue and sort of a buttery yello. Then I moved on to glazing the box and putting it on the shelves ready for firing. It should be fired in time for Xmas, I hope!!
