For a Happy Customer

At my Master’s show, I received a commission for a pomegranate planter, two egg white separators, and a two-piece African violet pot (it waters from the bottom). I was happy to oblige. From all reports, my customer was happy.

The pomegranate planter and the egg white separators are majolica or a combination of majolica and underglaze. The African violet pot is white clay on the bottom and white clay painted with red clay slip on the top. The turquoise glaze I used (my own creation) reacted differently with the two different types of clay, as expected.

Exploring the Properties of Fruits

Now I’m going wild with fruits. I need to settle on something for a while…maybe…probably. I’m still working with lemons. I now have a full-sized kiln and my pieces will not be limited by the size of a test kiln. Perhaps my work will get larger….maybe…should be.

The apple got away. I sold it. Also, I’m editing this post to add a lime luminary (also sold) that temporarily got lost between the camera and the computer.
