Oh WoWZA!!!!! Absolutely ADORE your sassy ladies!!! The bodice and lace up back.....LOVE!! What a fabulous collection. Youre work inspires me to try more hand-building work. The jug I have to admit was my favourite piece of the kiln, despite me loving the ladies. It was the sweeping texture that you added to the sides that gave the piece movement and the simplicity of the glazing worked perfectly. Great kiln opening, what a relief! Can't believe you added wet clay, unfired to a piece and added it to a glaze opening....you're definitely pushing the boundaries lol Great Video!

I love the shape of the cherry platter. I would use that as a fruit bowl, as o never have one shallow or wide enough. The cherry design on the back is adorable! I enjoy having the underneath of a piece giving an unexpected surprise. Adding a 3D effect to the large cherries could add to the overall design even further. Confused how you put your mosaic pieces in the glaze fire but are still yet to glaze? Interesting project and looking forwards to seeing that progress. Your bee dish is georgous! The honeycomb texture underneath mixed with smooth is georg! Super super cute Bee! Your drawing skills are great, i don't know why you're knocking them. Lovely Bee! I am really liking your mix of glaze inside versus raw clay outside and texture, with added glaze highlights on the dip bowls. Really adds to the overall effect. Beautiful! Fab to see the jungle Gems results! ADORE your large chip bowl! The texture on the bottom especially! Your Lady and her friends are a fabulous series, with so much sass! Im seeing raw clay for the face and arms, maybe a matt underglaze for rosy cheeks? Glossy hair, metallic necklace and bracelet and the dress a base colour with a running glaze combo over, top 2/3rds, more organic flowing. Or a poka dot dress even? Im sure whatever you do it will be fab-u-lous! Cant wait to see the results! Keep up the amazing work Xxx

Ahhh thankyou Jeanette, I am putting jungle jems on the mosaic pieces that I had in thr glaze fire so they will go back through the next bisque, it was just so they shrink the same as the other pieces. Good idea to make the curry plate a fruit bowl it would work well. Great ideas for the lady too, bare would be nice for her arms and face I agree. I should have ladies 3, 4 and 5 in the next load hopefully. Although they may be all that is in it. Xxx

Been away for a week with the grandchildren and no internet so was delighted to see there were two videos i could bing watch on my return. Really enjoyed seeing your complete process. I don't do much handbuilding and interested to see how much you slip and score the joints, way more than I have done. On a piece like the jug it looks far more secure and strong. May copy that approach. Was really good to follow your thoughts on how to shape the handle and the flourishes. I was talking to the screen answering you back lol. Looking forwards to following this jugs journey to fully glazed. Its so special as a potter how you get connected to a piece when you spend so much time from beginning to end and you know every crease,crevice and curve. Watching this you've given us that same experience and we are invested in this jug to, to see her survive and how she ends up being decorated. Thanks so much for the video!

The lady vase, thinking of Hawaii.... all those summer flower colours maybe? Or for winter time, a snow ice queen maybe?
