and some really bubbly glaze tests.
I was pleased with my firing even though there were some problems with a few things. First of all the glaze tests were insane! Bubbles anyone? I think I may have put the wrong frit in this test. All these were the same base with different colorants. So I will try these again after I mix up a new batch.
The flower blocks looked great but are un-saleable due to small areas of slip flaking off. Why? I slipped them too late, they were a bit dryish. So I know what's up with that and I can fix it. It's when I don't know what's happening that I freak out, no need for that here, I know what I did and can correct it. I am disappointed that I won't be able to have them at the sale this weekend.

I was pleased to have some more tiles to mount and I will be debuting those to my Charlotte customers tomorrow at the ClayMatters Sale. (Not those bubbly ones of course)
Okay gotta go finish packing. I probably forgot to say something but if so I'll add it later. Thanks for checking in.
