Great pottery. The bowl was beautiful especially the inside, I couldn’t see any crawling. But you need to “hold still” so the viewer can see the beautiful glazes you work so hard on. Don’t keep going in and out. A persons gets dizzy trying to follow you. You’re not afraid to show us up close your work. Keep up the good work.

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

@@cjbrostrom7294 thank you! Appreciate the feedback on holding still. Will keep that up front next time 😊

Your observation of a straight piece vs a curved piece with the honeyflux, TT and AJ at the rim, was so helpful. Thank you.

Hi Molly! I love that plate! And the refire bowl turned out super as well. You've given me a lot of ideas for new glaze combos to try. FYI, Kim Undseth just posted a kiln opening where she found a glaze to replace Kimchi. She had the same issue as you with Kimchi blistering/pinholing. I think it was the video she uploaded yesterday or the day before. Thanks for sharing!

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

@@patspotpage pat!!! Thank you so much! I’m obsessed with the plate too 😆 so happy I could help out with glaze ideas! Oooooooo that’s awesome…I will check out that video. Appreciate the heads up!

YES please! 🤩

[@micheledickey4066]

Well… at least you have the alumina hydrate, that’s a start!! Hahaha. Love you girl!! This was a fabulous load! The tests were all amazing! I can’t pick one favorite but I LOVE the plate that didn’t break that you did a bunch of glazes on and definitely the refired bowl! And the spoon rest that turned yellow!! What the heck is up with that?? It’s sooo awsome. Love the Cricut pieces too!! I remember when you first got that! Hahaha! I was almost as excited as you are. Love all of these combos!! I won’t comment on every piece! lol. Btw your yard is looking amaaaazing, as always. Be sure to do a little overview of the garden next kiln unload!! Love ya girl!!

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

@@micheledickey4066 love you too! Making mason jar salads right now 😂 I’ll get garden shots for sure and I need to print u out some cricut designs and mail them to you!

[@micheledickey4066]

@@thehappyhomesteadnh I used to do the mason jar salads too but since I’m always home I don’t need to anymore. I’d love some Cricut designs. I stillllll need to send you those stilts and the pieces I made for you! It’s ridiculous how long simple things take to get done. By the way what you did for the dogs was sooo sweet!! I love that you did that!!

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

@@micheledickey4066 too funny about the salads…I’m home too when I eat them. I love how gorgeous they look which makes me wanna eat them 😂 awwwww thanks about the 🐾 plaques..I felt so bad because it’s been almost a year!

[@micheledickey4066]

@@thehappyhomesteadnh I remember that last year! Right after your trip. I’m so happy you thought to make those though.

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

@@micheledickey4066 thinking of adding beads to the rope or string 🤔..I’ll show ya when I finish them!

[@janecowdrey]

Regarding the inside turning blue, sometimes the outside layer can soak enough in that possibly could influence the inside. Maybe kimchi had that affect? I heard that from potters. I just found your channel a couple weeks ago. Love your curiosity and work. You play with it. It’s a great approach. Thank you for sharing your ideas:)

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

@@janecowdrey oh wow that’s fascinating! Never heard that before..thank you so much for the insight! Awwwww thank you for the support and encouragement 😘 I truly appreciate that and happy to have you here in the community 🥰

[@JoesphBarron]

Love small spoon rest, we add drop hold to 2100 then to 1900 a d helped alot on tbe pinholes

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

@@JoesphBarron thanks! Oh good to know…appreciate the info!

[@user-ej9wc2fe2d]

Oh Molly, so sorry to hear about your fur babies. 😢 it’s exciting to see you are back at it. I have missed seeing your videos. Amazing not-so-mini kiln unload. You always give me a reason to buy new glazes! Thank you for sharing! What brand of speckled buff is that? I have been using Laguna’s and it doesn’t look that good unglazed or just with clear. Not many specks either. I’m going to watch your circuit video next…Regards, Liana

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

@@user-ej9wc2fe2d liana!! Thank you so very much 💝..it always stings but will never stop us from adding to the pack 😆 🐾…funny about the not so mini kiln unloading 😂 my kiln is huge! So I use Laguna speckled buff number 60 I think it is. You know what?! I started to notice like a year ago that pearl white looked way different than it used to on that clay body. After doing research, I found out that Laguna changed their supplier for the speckled buff so it’s a different recipe! It might still be on their website. Like this newer version is lighter in color and seems to have more grog or different grog. The old kind was darker and richer in color. So it’s not just you 😝 Glazes 😂 they are never ending!!! I still have so many to buy and try lolololol

Hey Molly!! Of course I love the first pink mug! Was it obsidian just at the top or all over? What stains do u use for yr coloured clay? I can’t get pink n purple to stay. Love the pink cups too! How do u think up these combos?? Glorious!! That plate is stunning! It looks like a stained glass window! The speckled clay on the blue refire mugs is gorgeous I wish we had clay like that! U r so great at handles, do u have a vid or could u do one pls? Great unload again. Nat xx

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

@@mudmagic407 aw I just love you Nat! So the obsidian was just at the very bottom like maybe 1/2 inch and handle. Above the bottom 1/2 inch line of obsidian, I started the stripes of glazes. I have a before pic that I can send you 😆 the top part is 3 heavy coats of black aventurine all by itself! I think my videos take so long to post because I take so long in creating combos in my head 😂 I’m working on that! I got mason stains online a few years ago..I’ll look for the website! The pink cups! I saw an inspirational piece on insta and made my own version of it because no glazes were listed 😂 I kinda just thought it through on how certain glazes look when layered from past pieces and sort of put it together that way..not always a win 😂 I will absolutely do a video on handles! I have one from a few years ago on the channel but it’s not that great 😆 ya know, they get better over time. I’m happy to make another one 😍 thank you so much Nat!!

[@Ellen.s.atelier]

By the way did you see my kilnopenings? Not all that great but Some combos from you too that I am using!

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

Oh!!! I will check them out! I haven’t been on tube in a while 😂 thanks for the heads up
