[@susanroswandowicz]

Dear Lisa, it’s my first day out of the hospital and I’m laying here watching your video. You are amazing. Thank you so much for thoughts and wishes. The surgery went well and the cancer is gone. I’m ready for a bright future with lots of pottery and kiln opening videos. And I’m pretty sure that love and support has a big influence on a healing process. And that love I can feel from everyone right now. Thank you again. You are such a wonderful person ❤️

[@finklepottery704]

Suza, so happy the surgery is behind you. Looking forward to seeing more pottery from you

[@ncmy4kids]

Hi Suza! I LOVE watching your videos. Your style and spirit make me smile 😊 I have cancer too. Mine almost gone. It is vile but it can be beat ❤

[@finklepottery704]

Hey Nat! A few of those new spectrum names are long lol. It’s interesting how different things sell in different areas or countries.

[@Shawn_Reid_Pottery]

Thanks Lisa , newish potter from BC … I just rewired my kiln and changed the panel wiring . So happy with myself 😂 So hopefully I can try some of these now . West coast girl :)

[@finklepottery704]

Hello from the east coast. Good luck with your kiln! Always stressful until you get it up and running

[@FunkyPhish]

Nice combos! The pumpkin platter is awesome! I love the little ushrooms. And Boogy pink in a much better name for that glaze. I'm gonna call it that too. I love Suza'a work as well.

[@finklepottery704]

Thank you!

[@patspotpage]

LOL, Boogie-pink! Love it! I had to look up how to say boo-gan-veel-ee-a as well. Great pieces, and thanks for the belly laugh. I agree, that blue-green combo is the bomb!

[@finklepottery704]

Thank you! Some words are just tricky lol.

[@ncmy4kids]

Nice kiln opening! I just bought the curry and manganese. So thank you for showing that together. I love most colors especially yellows 😊

[@finklepottery704]

I love all the colors too!

[@AudreyLynnStudios]

Great kiln unload as usual. I have tge same RIM dilemma! LOVE the LISA COMBO! I better pull out the Pumpkin Placemat! Hahahah! Thanks again, Lisa!

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks Audrey!

[@micheledickey4066]

What a fabulous kiln load!! My gosh I soooo love that pumpkin tray!! And the beach pieces are amazing!!!! Your idea for the frames is pure genius!! I would have never thought to do that but I have a ton of the Iron Orchid Designs molds and I love the idea of this but on a picture frame I think. I have several slipcast molds that are frames and I can totally see doing something similar so thank you very much for the idea!!

[@finklepottery704]

You will have to show me the finished product when u get some made 😊

[@cyndien5011]

You do such a beautiful job. Always

[@finklepottery704]

Thank you so much !

[@Ellen.s.atelier]

Hey Lisa! Wow the pumpkin plate! love it! Looks so amazing! Nice of you to shout out to the lady in Germany, I like watching her too, she is amazing and definately deserves the shout out!

[@finklepottery704]

Thank you Ellen!

[@corryg6403]

Love all your combos just ordered the new spectrum glaze kit today they have been out guess I will be trying the bayou glaze on holy green

[@finklepottery704]

The bayou is gorgeous! I think it’s my new favourite glaze 😊

[@cyndien5011]

Love the pumpkin

[@susanroswandowicz]

I forgot to tell that the GREEN TURQUOISE BLUE combination ist just perfect and my absolute favorite so far. Much love Suza

[@allenfitz1]

It’s the flower bou-gain-vil-le-a

[@AngelaSimmons-u9o]

Hi Lisa, Thank you for your glaze combo videos, the combos are amazing! Can you tell me if you carve your letters (PEI Girl) or are they a stamp. I am newly retired and would love to ramp up my pottery making again. Cheers from Missouri. Go Chiefs!

[@finklepottery704]

Hi Angela! Yes I see “go chiefs” mugs in your future lol. The letters are made with stamps from mkm stamps. I believe you can buy from them directly!

[@AngelaSimmons-u9o]

Thank you so much!

[@skcamerican]

Boogie pink. I like it. I think Hank Williams said “buy-oh,” and John Fogerty said “buy-yo.” And neither was from Louisiana. Lol.

[@joannpounders5567]

Linda Ronstadt also had a hit song "Blue Bayou" and pronounced it buy-you. Also, not from Louisiana. I hear that song in my head each time this glaze is mentioned! LOL

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks for the clarification! Some words are tricky 😊

[@walkerpottery9296-Natalie]

Here you go, you’re saying it correctly. BAYOU - (pronounced Bi-Yoo) A marshy, sluggish tributary of a river or lake. 😊 I love that new boogie pink, so beautiful with the turquoise! Your combos are all gorgeous. Do you dip your river birch and honey flux or paint those on first and then dip the tops?

[@finklepottery704]

Hi Natalie. Thank you! I do paint on the river birch and honey flux. Sometimes I dip the tops, sometimes I paint depending on the color I want. Both work great!

[@MeandmyfireflyEZCreations]

Absolutely gorgeous glaze combinations. I too love blues greens aqua turquoise etc 💙 then the opposite of these on the colour wheel. I've never done a glaze firing I've got a cress-e1814-kiln. Done a cone 04 break in firing 🔥. Darn forgot the cone pack, the most important piece of information. Have a collection of mayco, amaco and spectrum glazes. Loads of bisque pieces that I've made in a studio i attend fortnightly. Trying to work out what firing i should do. IE just a cone setting with a slow medium heat and then figure out how to do a hold at the end. Eeeeeeeek there's so much to consider and learn. Most of my knowledge is from KZbin and Google. Any suggestions re firing, should I do a cone fire or ramp hold program?? Happy potting

[@finklepottery704]

Hi Evelyn, if you have a programmable kiln you could just choose a cone to fire to on a slow glaze program. A five minute hold is easy to do if you want to include as part of your firing schedule. If you have a manual kiln other potters would have better advice for you. Good luck!

[@MeandmyfireflyEZCreations]

​@@finklepottery704thanks is a programmable kiln. I will try this. I'm sure it's easier when you are at the controller and reading the manual. I've read manual over and over and kind of understanding it all. Thanks again

[@RedEftDesigns]

..."people addicted to kiln openings..." haha its me, you're talking about me lol 😆 Love those celadon combos with the pink! I got the mayco turquoise too to make my c.bloom go farther but its so thin, needs a lot of coats! Is the turquoise lake you use transparent like a celadon or is it more opaque with breaking over texture?

[@finklepottery704]

Hi Amanda! Yes i too am addicted to kiln openings lol. The turquoise lake is opaque but runs on the thin side. I have it in dipping form and I make sure it is well stirred and I hold it in for about 4 seconds. I love the color though.
