While I was out

offcntrIt's been a really crazy week, glazing and decorating literally hundreds of pots, while also getting my COVID booster and keeping up with my drawing challenge. It all ended today with a final drawing and thirty-odd bowls glazed. Tonight I can take a breath, pick up a pizza and watch the new Dr. Who. (First impressions? I wish they'd been a little less ambitious.) Tomorrow we load the kiln and see how much fits.
I'll be posting another batch of ink drawings sometime this week. You can also see a more complete set of glazing pictures on my Instagram. For now, though, here's a sampling.
As usual, I did a lot of special/custom orders. Octopus pasta bowls and honeybee honey jars for a gallery in Olympia, bison pasta for the couple who've been replacing their wedding china one piece at a time (this one's a present for her mom), and two sets of itty-bitty mugs for two sets of grandchildren.
Many years back, I did a pair of donburi (Japanese style covered bowls) for some customers. Now they want three more, at least two of which are inspired by Norse myth: Odin's ravens and Thor's goats.
The teapots are purely for me. We sold several this summer, and I wanted some new ones going into the holiday season.
And I always need pie plates. In fact, Tsunami Books just emailed to say they were down to one pie, so I'll have to take more even before the fring is out.
