Progress has been made

Another week has passed.  Good things have happened, I finished a set of large dinner plates to match the smaller ones I have up on etsy.  Whenever I make a set I always add an extra one in case something cracks or the glaze gets messed up.  This precaution has saved me many times.  Some peices came out of the kiln as well and as soon as I photograph them ill put a couple images up here and on etsy.  People don't seem to respond well to the pictures I've taken in my back yard so I've decided to make a light box and see if that helps.  A friend recommended it to me so it's worth a shot. I am nearly finished with those two vases I was talking a bout in my previous post all that's needed to do is smooth out the rough edges and coerce some of the bumps out of them.  Nearly had a heart attack trying to put the two halfs together but the end result is well worth it, looking at them almost makes me want to start on a new set right away.  Maybe later though, after I've forgotten how frustrating it was.  Lets see, is there anything else...those double walled vessels are having their first firing right now so I can get started in figuring out which color to make them.  That's all for now, I'll have a picture of my vases up later tonight when I have access to a computer.

The one on the right is closer to being completely finished while the left one is just in the beginning stages of being refined.
