Wonderful! Love the bright colors and the vase at the end was indeed excellent. If you put any on e-bay please share the link to your page. Your video lighting has come a long way, I recall some of your first kiln openings and it was hard to see the more...

Low-fire glazes give much brighter colors, but are less resistant to heat and freezing - and can let liquid leak through. In addition, they seldom have the variations in color that the high-fire glazes do.

I am planning to make my own page purely about more...

that one you asked about at the beginning?
it wasn't my favorite but I don't think it was because of the 'see-through' (?) . Just didn't respond to the colors.
My favorite is the two tone blue with the narrow red line. Also like the black with lavender.

Hi Tree! Nice to see you!

I really like that one with the thin red line as well. I think the thin line (instead of fat as on other pieces) gives a really good effect, so I will probably do something similar in future.

I have made lots of beads. If you more...

The bowl with the lines radiating from the bottom center looks like a melon.

Ahhh! Hadn't thought of it like that. As mentioned below, I gave that one to my niece, as it is a lovely size for her. I thought it turned out fun too!

Hi hon! Cool bowls! They make me want to run and eat cereal. hehe...I love a nice cereal and soup bowl. I liked the purple and black one. The vase at the end was pretty. Its funny to hear you say it would be fun to have "a pot plant" in a couple of them more...

Posted Jul 19, 07 by Marihani
HAhahaha!!! Pot plant! I don't even think that way, as pot-plant is very common over here. But it also means POT plant - so it kinda depends on the pronunciation, I guess.

Those little round bowls make me want to get out the cereal too! But I gave the more...

I think that the see through is kind of cool. but not so nice...but I like it..rason ...hand made is perfekt!. no copy.

Posted Jul 19, 07 by Marihani
Yeah - the more I think about it, the more I see the see-through bits of glaze as proof that the bowl is hand-made and hand-glazed. Still - it kinda depends on who the bowl is for.

The collapsed piece was cool, but my favorite was the "melon" bowl.

Posted Jul 19, 07 by Marihani
Some of the collapses turn out really cool - others end up in the recycle-bin! Hehe!

Melon bowl? Which one do you mean?

Posted Jul 17, 07 by RichardNorton
Very nice things.

Posted Jul 19, 07 by Marihani
Thanks Richard! I am in Oslo just now, but we have such a pace, that I haven't gotten in touch. I will probably be back with more time on my hands sometime before Christmas, though.

Hope you are feeling lots better!

I like .. the purple stripe bowl and the blue ball vase best!!
What is a cigarett putter outer???
The last vase is lovely!!!

Posted Jul 28, 07 by Marihani
I haven't seen any ceramic putter-outers, but you can get little metal ones and such.

Since firing is part of a longer process, I have learned to enjoy each part equally. I can even wait for the kiln to cool off these days! HEhe!

Posted Jul 20, 07 by gguider
Oh that's clever!!! You should market them!!
I can't imagine the patience of waiting for them to be fired after making them!!
Skilled!! :-)

A cigarette putter-outer is a small tube with a diameter slightly larger than a cigarette. You put it in the ashtray and just put the hot end of the cigarette into it. There is then too little oxygen for it to burn, and it goes out without you crushing more...
