kilnload1121.jpg  Well, none of my horse decals fired well, so I won’t have anything for the open house tomorrow.  Oh well, that just means I won’t have to stand in the freezing cold all day long, so at least there’s a bright side.  A couple of the pendants are kind of cool looking–they look abstract horses, so I’ll try to move those and see what happens.

A lot of my other stuff came out well, though.  I was able to find a lead free green glaze, so I made up some stuff in a yummy evergreen color.  My smaller earring sized pieces came out well, too.  I need to cut my plaster boards in half again so that I can dry different thicknesses of clay at the same time. 

I forgot my tripod attachment for my camera at home (I’m at the shop today), so no picture taking today.  I think I’ll cut pendant cords and start tying them, maybe watch some favorite show online (can you watch My Name is Earl online???–that sounds like a plan).

My earrings are in Bead Trends!

December Bead Trends Magazine, page 79.  Whoopee!!!  They also chose them for one of the shots on the table of contents page. 

I have some projects up my sleeves involving some ceramic beads and ear wires that I’ll be submitting around.
