Second Day of Raku Firing

So after my first day of firing, I was on a roll. I decided to spend the whole day firing today and I got most of my pieces for JAPR done. Now all I need to do is finish making the rest of my pieces, (count 'em two!) and make my wire sculptures. I am right on schedule.

Finally Finishing Some Pieces

So I am three weeks from my Junior Art Portfolio Review and I am right on track. I did my first firing today, sampled all my glasses, made a layout for my "gallery" place and I only have three more pieces to make. Nerves are starting to settle in though. Being so close to the show date, I can't turn back now, if something goes wrong, well, I have to roll with the punches. Anyways, here is a peek at what I am working on.

Lots of copper in my glazes, see the green flame over the kiln. This is right before I unloaded it. I was super excited.

 My pots simmering.

This is my initial layout for the show, still working on it.
