Salt & pepper shakers

Ha! I transformed the feelings into salt & pepper shakers. :)
They have the perfect height & hopefully will make a great addition to any kitchen or table.
I love the glaze that I put on them. It's a crackle glaze and right after they came out of the kiln, I painted black Indian ink on them and rubbed it off afterwards. The ink stayed in all the crackles so it looks like it has been raku-fired. Aren't they fun? :)
