All Baked and Glazed

Here are the mugs after their firing :-)  They all survived!  WoooHoooo  It is the most scary and most exciting thing ever to fire the kiln.

Im sure I drive my husband crazy while Im glaze firing.  After about the first 15 hours, I start with the craziness.... "Wonder if its about done yet.... I hope nothing fell over and knocked the cone out of the sitter... wonder if something exploded and feel into it and its not kicking off.... wonder if any of them got into one another and permanently glazed themselves together.... wonder if everything is alright in there....???"  Yep, I do it every time :-)  After 19 hours on this firing I got really concerned, but all was well and I only needed to relax (and also needed a little sleep im sure)

Oh and my husband also bought me a larger kiln yesterday - so hopefully after some testing Ill be firing more than just these 5-6 mugs at a time!  HAPPY HAPPY

Anyway, here they are all nice and food safe now : )

Great Blue Heron

Tree Frog (who will be my first Etsy listing : ) )

And the Hen (sold her as soon as I posted her pic on my personal Facebook)  :-)

Chickie Babies & Froggy

I love chickie babies!  Here is a new chicken mug I painted over the weekend : )  And a new froggy mug - those lil red eyed tree frogs have fascianted me since I first laid eyes on one - they are like a little colorful painting!

I am really enjoying this new painting technique I am working with  - just a little nervous about firing them 

Like all potters, we worry while our babies are being baked... yeah that just sounded weird...
