[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

😊 thank you so much for watching. The support I am receiving from the whole pottery/art community has been amazing. I am so grateful for all of you x

[@Ellen.s.atelier]

@ yeah I feel the same!!

[@cynthiarichert6226]

I like the star like it is! People will love them. They are unique!

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

@cynthiarichert6226 apparently some customers at the market agreed with you and fell in love with the leaning stars too. They bought two of them 😊

[@DavidDebbieWilliams]

Just found you and subscribed. Fabulous glaze combos. I must get Jungle Gems for my mushrooms.

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

Thanks for subbing! Jungle Gems are gorgeous for the mushies.

Love the opening, thanks for sharing

Hi, I love your work and its nice to hear you mentioned by other KZbin potters. When I use a 3 pin stilt, I place it with pins under piece-the reverse of the way you do it. I'm not sure there is any real difference, other than if you get drips, it's easy to clip through the pin, rather than grind the base. You do a great job of logging your info-unless you are too tired. :-). Jessica, Pacifica, Ca

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

Hi Jessica, yes, I usually do use the stilts the other way with the pins facing up, but with the hole in the bottom of the pumpkins for the tealight, the pins didn't sit right. The grinding wasn't too bad, I got it all cleaned up, and that little Jack sold at the market. I need to make some stilts or raised cookies to specifically fit my pumpkins. And yes my glaze logging system usually works very well, unless I am tired 😅

[@roadmap5351]

Love your mushrooms!

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

Me too, I just love playing with colour on them.

[@gayleenlindsay1638]

Lovee your mushrooms 🥰

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

@gayleenlindsay1638 they're pretty cute hey 😊

[@mudmagic407]

Hey Jane yay I’ve finally caught up!! Cone packs no it’s not the number. Break the cones then stand on a table and u will see the natural lean, u then point the lean towards the dot in the cone pack. Hope that makes sense?? Love the purple tree so pretty! I get most of my supplies from CCG NZ. Super cheap being $nz and u have your order 2 days later at your door! Amazing! That twilight pumpkin is my fav. Gorgeous! Oh ladybug is perfect for mushrooms! I want to attempt them but wouldn’t know where to start! What glaze do u put in under the mushroom hood? Oh I like the passion flower ones too. Indigo float always goes that horrible green if too thin. It’s funny how we seem to do similar combos n similar issues (I refired blisters that stayed but lost the sharp last kiln too!) another awesome unload. Nat xx

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

Yep, that makes sense for the cone packs, thank you. I also shop quite a bit from CCG, and yes I can't get over how quickly their parcels arrive. I used Oyster from Mayco under the mushies. We do have very similar colour tastes. I just love colour, I can't get enough of it, hence my ridiculous wall of glazes! I'll have to film a studio tour soon so people can see my obsession 😅. Thank you so much for watching all of my videos. I really hope you enjoyed them. Still lots of improvements to be made in my filming endeavours, but I will get better at it 😊 xx

[@jeanettesherratt1276]

Recommended by Nat at Mud Magic to watch ur kiln openings. Lovely bright glazes which I love. Thanks for sharing. A favourite is cactus and Himalayan salt. Jeanette 🇬🇧

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

@jeanettesherratt1276 thank you so much for watching. Nat is so lovely. I am so lucky to be a part of this beautiful pottery community.

[@RedEftDesigns]

Great trees, all so pretty! I'm a non-traditional colors tree person too 🎄I find jungle gems over snow definitely keep more of their pretty colors But then your mushrooms are just jungle gems alone and they look just as good. Wow the ladybug was unexpectedly good, the test tile on the mayco site is not as nice as yours! ❤🖤❤ I have been thinking of buying peach party have you tried that one?

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

Thank you, the glaze combos on the trees in my latest unload video were inspired by you. I will try the jungle gems over snow. Ladybug is awesome, so bright even at Cone 6. I haven't tried Peach Party yet sorry. Thank you so much for watching my video. I have been watching yours for years.

[@FunkyPhish]

I love all the mushrooms! I would have a hard time deciding which ones to buy. What is the intended use, just decorations? They are perfect! I like the bent over star trees too. I am pretty sure they will sell as is.

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

@FunkyPhish hi! Yes the Mushrooms are decorative. People have been buying them to go in pot plants and fairy gardens. All but one of the bent over star Christmas trees have sold now. The last one may have to be mine 😊

[@FunkyPhish]

@@janesshoeboxstudio5829 That is exactly what I had in mind for the mushrooms! They are so cool. I am glad you sold the trees. I knew they would sell! They are also very cool! Nice job on the videos too. I am like you and shy to be in front of the camera.

[@RoosterPootPottery]

Tilting stars are cute

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

@RoosterPootPottery I actually did sell two of the trees with the tilting stars because the customers thought they were cute too 😊

[@sharonburr4876]

Love everything. Are your mushrooms hand built they’re gorgeous.love the speckled clay you did the pink mugs in. What is that one.

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

Hi, yes the mushrooms are hand built, they are heaps of fun to make. The speckled clay on the mugs is Keanes No. 6 White Speckled. It is a pretty clay. Thank you for watching 😊

[@sharonburr4876]

@ thank you. All so pretty :)

[@deannaglaze2098]

How much clay do you use to throw your Christmas tree luminaries? I like the size of yours!

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

Anywhere from 950 g to 1.2 kgs for these ones.

The bending side faces the dot

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

@@ReneeGlasgow thank you

[@katrinabenson7207]

Number facing dot, and sometimes they need wiggling in so that they’re at a slight angle toward the dot. Thanks for the video!

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

Thank you. I am getting mixed info on the cone pack thing, so who really knows 🤷‍♀️. But that's ok, the cones are still doing their job and that's the main thing.

[@bynonstudiosart]

What clay did you use for the mushrooms?

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

hi, thanks for watching my video. The mushrooms are made with Clayworks Midfire Yellow Gold Speckle. I love that clay so much!

[@MeandmyfireflyEZCreations]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXeQZqZnophom6ssi=84bRoZqvkOv4OGil This might help you. Its for large cones not self supporting. I'm sure there's more online. Nice kiln unload so many nice pieces. Where the stars separated using a wire or attached? PS I too number my pieces, I'm up to about 32. It was the easiest way to work out what is what.😊

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

thank you. The stars did have wire in them, funny that some stood fine and others did not.
