a work in progress….
Anytime we needed to fire the kiln and there was spare room on the shelves, i’d quick quick put something together to try out this, that, or the other thing. Sometimes I’d be thinking about some way to try something new or a slight twist on something i saw while helping/teaching folks during the day. This is what i ended up with this this year – I see at least one more glass button coming out of this (lower right corner) and perhaps I’ll set some of the wavy blue/green cabs in some metal jewelry… but the rest is one big question mark. They may just sit in a bowl in my office for a while until I figure out what to do with them.
The big glob on the right is intended to be sliced apart and rearranged, too. Someday.
Those disks were an experiment with frozen frit. I’m not done with them yet. Now I’m going to slice them with a wet-saw and rearrange them and see what happens.
Lessons learned:
Another very late Xmas gift….

| After the first firing, both nightlights were flat. I kept the abstract one flat, but wanted to try making the owl light curved. |

As always, more lessons learned:

| Two nightlights fit on one shelf for firing. The one in the back is the one pictured here. |
