Had to wait really long to open the kiln. A ceramist has to be really patient, and normally I am but this time it was really really hard.A few accidents that happened before firing didn't come out right. The feeling invincable lost part of his tail before it went in the kiln and I fixed it but it didn't stay.
I fired the feelings quite high for durability and didn't realise the blue engobe could not stand that high temperature so I'll be re-making those two feelings for sure.
Just very, very relieved there was no explosions or damage to any of them.
I'm a happy girl now... :)
I am so so so happy you can't imagine!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have been a little by your side on this amazing voyage! My feeling right now is pride. I'm so proud of you Mitsy! I have goose bumps and everything!!!
Now.. when are you going to list them so we can buy them?
(bad timing though, I'm flat broke)
A BIG fired hug,

YAY YAY YAY YAY! I'm sorry to hear about Mr. Invincible, but he was not my concern for this first firing anyway ;)
ReplyDeleteI want more pictures once you get them out (esp. of any personal favorites of mine you might know about) hehe
They all look so beautiful :) Great Job on the first firing Mitsy!
Wow Mitsy all looking fantastic! I can understand your excited feeling!:)

ReplyDeleteThey have finally emerged!! Yay!! How exciting!! I'm really happy for you. Can't wait to see them up close!
ReplyDeletethe blue engobe is so bright! I was surprised at that! Well, first time so it was bound to be a "complicated" one... 90% of it survived, or more...so... good average I'd say... Congrats!
ReplyDeleteFrom now on, "mini" world domination !
If I remember from my art school days kiln opening is a little like Christmas morning, waiting for your birthday and anticipating seeing your child after he or she is born. Now you get to feel all these things on a regular basis, lucky you, I'm feeling a little jealous but also a very pleased for you too.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!
ReplyDeleteNot funny, but sort of interesting that invincible wasn't! Can't wait to see them in more detail!
wow, this looks like such excitement! You do so well to wait so patiently and I am so happy for you that it turned out so well!
