All the best Amanda with the birth of new baby! Now to watch your video......😁

[@MOLLIMEDIA]

You have such an imaginative color aesthetic. Congratulations on your new arrival and I hope it goes smoothly for you. Take care. 🌹

[@karenbobsin9745]

Love your glaze combos!❤ Congratulations on your babies' arrival soon!❤

[@anasclayhouse]

Wow Amanda I’m speechless!😍 How can I choose one? They are all great! The agate bowl and your bottles with the purple glaze are gorgeous. They remind me of handblown glass. Every time I watch your kiln unloading, I end up buying more glazes, lol! I’m in the process of testing celadon bloom to make a sea turtle mug and the test you’ve done helps me. Thank you and best wishes with the new baby!🫶🏻

[@RedEftDesigns]

Thank you so much Ana! Love your videos as well!!!

[@suestern4642]

[@finklepottery704]

Awesome unload Amanda. My favourite was the skunk box. Adorable! Also the purple haze vase was yummy! Congratulations on your upcoming arrival. You will be pretty busy for the next while!

[@micheledickey4066]

Yaaay! Sooo excited!! Omg how funny you said that the little teapot could be used as a Netty pot!! That’s exactly what I use mine for!! Lol Pottery to the people did a really great series on making colored pieces on clay. I think she called it speckles. But very similiar to the old forge videos. That mirror is sooo cool!! My favorites are the tea pots and the agate bowl!! The bowl is just amazing!! And I love the vase piece as well. Sorry it ran soo much. Congratulations on the new baby! I pray your labor and delivery go awesome!

I loved the “geode” bowl! - Liana

[@RedEftDesigns]

Thank you!

[@AudreyLynnStudios]

Hey Amanda, fun opening! Love the frogs! Love the baby bump photobomb! I adore that 'ocean' pitcher! Can I ask, did the storm go all over first, THEN Seaweed, Oatmeal and snow? Love the Aurora pitcher, too. I like what you did with the Purple Haze piece. Lots in this one! Wishing you all the best with the birth of your baby! ✌️

[@RedEftDesigns]

Hi Audrey! Yes, the storm is all over in& out. Then seaweed top third, then oatmeal over the seaweed on the rim. But a space between where the seaweed ended and the line of snow was. The snow I have is verrrry thick so I just globbed it on with my finger. The seawwed/oatmeal ran and was kinda stopped by the snow. Thank you! It's less than a week now! So excited!

[@AudreyLynnStudios]

@RedEftDesigns oh, thank you so much! I love it, and I am really looking forward to trying it! ❤️👶🍼

[@kathygodfrey3158]

Wow! Some lovely results. Can you please share - how did you make the crystal cluster? So cool!

[@RedEftDesigns]

Thanks Kathy! From a leatherhard coil I used a scalpel to facet the sides into 6 and the tip into a point ( also 6). Then connected them to a base and sprinkled a few scrap pieces from the scalpel faceting around the base. I plan to do a video of it someday soon!

[@Therapy1044]

Amazed at how you can so evenly coat the colors and get straight edges. Tutorial?

[@RedEftDesigns]

Definitely someday! The straight edges I imagine are just from wiping the glaze back from the base with a sponge? Works best on stable glazes...

[@Therapy1044]

Yea, OK. But an area that is larger than what a full brush can cover. feather ing like with laquer, polyurethane and varnish does not seem to work.@@RedEftDesigns

[@lindaleary9913]

What is that dreadful noise in the background?
