Whats Cookin'?

First things first, this mama's gotta brag! My son had to draw a picture of his shoe in drawing class. I was really impressed when I saw it on the coffee table this morning and so was his dad and grandpa. He also got an "A" on it!

If you can't tell I did some cookin' this this morning! I ran the kiln and fired the 22k gold decals. They are all just lovely. I took a couple of quick pictures to share. I forgot to take the pictures before I put them away. Taking pictures of them on the black does help to show why I use white for the background though. The first picture is of all the fired pieces. The second is a close up. I was trying to get a picture of the cab in the top left hand corner. The green cabs to the upper right look really good unlike the left!

Sneak Peak of WIP!

Here is a sneak peek at what I've been working on. I realized that I hadn't gotten around to using the new 22k gold water decals I have. So I pulled them out along with the rest of my 22k gold decals and grabbed "the hoard" and went to work. I didn't get them done early enough to fire since I really have to babysit the kiln with this firing process. I will fire them in the morning instead. So be on the lookout for butterflies, dragonflies, leaves, flowers and more! Of course while I'm sitting the kiln I can get back to cutting. (My fingers and thumb were just to sore until now. I had to let them heal.)

Also I will be out of town with my aunt next week (Mon through Thurs). visiting my uncle, her brother.
