Voila!

We have a small kitchen and cabinet space is precious real estate. Here is a quick solution, a stainless steel shelf from Ikea. You'll like the price too, it was less than $15!

p.s. Do you recognize some cups from previous posts?

Insomnia

Last night I woke up at the absurd hour of 1:34am and just couldn't get back to sleep. You know what I mean, you toss and turn, pull on the blanket, and fluff the pillows about a thousand times. Finally, I gave up and made way to the kitchen for a glass of milk. I spent the rest of the night glazing some mugs and creamers. It was fairly productive!

More China Blue Bowls

Here are some new bowls, hot out of the kiln. I'm using the same blue underglaze for these bowls but they appear to be much better than the last batch. The only difference was that I painted on greenware instead of bisque. It seems to make a huge difference!

Farm Animals Series

First of all, I would like to thank you for not giving up on this blog. It has been a crazy holiday season but I'm back again, full force, I might add. Here are some pictures of my latest work, porcelain bowls, with farm animals decor. I hope you like them. They were painted free hand using blue underglaze. I'm still in search for a blue underglaze that won't run at cone 10. If you know of any, please let me know.
