My creative space

Here's a peek into my kiln that I'm unloading today. It was a porcelain firing which means lots of small items - most of it for Anna aka LilaRubyKing.
I also fired all the porcelain hands that did not come out of the moulds OK. I used to throw them out but I plan to put them in a frame on a pile with one perfect hand on top of that. I think it would make a great companion for this artwork.
Unloading the kiln usually means sandwork ahead of me... bweurk! ;)

    I love the imperfect Barbie hands concept, much better than chucking them :)

    I want a kiln now too, thanks Mitsy :-)
    It would be so outside my comfortzone, right? Thanks to Apol and you I'm on a creative trip that I am unable to get out of. Thinking about how fun it would be to have a weekend with sweet etsyfolks and all bring our supplies and tools. Oh boy, I hope to be just happy with my yarn and silver again soon, this is getting out of hand.. x!

    I've never worked w/ porcelain before, but I'm guessing this is a bisque firing? Do you do another at cone 6 or 10? Forgive my curiosity! I imagine that it takes a lot of work and a long time to fill a kiln...
