Pin Cushion

I have no good explanation for why I spent hours making this silly pin cushion...

It was relaxing and fun to work on. I guess I wanted to try embroidering something else after the Christmas ornament. The "Starry Night" side was the most time consuming but I'm really happy with how it came out.


Raku Time Again

This semester I tried doing some tape resist with the glazes. I'm still not thrilled with the results but I guess I like them better than last semester's attempt.

Here is what the pots looked like before they were fired:


This is the pot on the right after firing. It's about 3 inches tall.





This is the pot on the left after firing. It's about 3.5 inches tall.
