The Five Stages of Glazing

Glazing, I don't hate it but typically it can be overwhelming once 100-200 pieces are needed to be finished at one time. It takes me a week or two to fill the kiln and bisque it and then I feel it is necessary to finish all the glazing in two or three days, even though I brush most of my glazes. I guess I should find that unreasonable but I like the thought of a finished glaze run so much that I start having HUGE expectations and I want those new pieces NOW NOW NOW.

Ever told you I am impatient? I am.

So, I took glazing and spoofed the five stages of grief, which you can read about on wiki right here if you wish!

Movie Madness

Took a little time today to film my process. Today I am mainly painting black details on my porcelain miniatures. I think the owl one turned out best so watch it here on youtube. I can't seem to get blogger to upload my video and I am eager to be off and cleaning up the house a bit.

Armadillo

Today I am starting a bisque run full of garden art with a bottom layer of miniatures. Despite this cartoon, no armadillos are in this current run, though it is full of owls and horses. Maybe next time!
