Happy Saturday

I took ten tiny samples to sale at the studio's Christmas sale. I am afraid they will not sell and I will be embarrassed. Nothing ventured, nothing gained or so they say. We'll see. I overheard my studio friends talking. One person talked of the 64 pieces she was selling and another spoke of the 300 pieces someone else always sells. Oh my. With the entry fee and the percentage that the school takes, I am just hoping to break even.
I did have an enjoyable afternoon in the studio. I added faces to 2 of the plain mugs that I put handles on Wednesday night.

Then I wandered around the studio looking for stuff that was bisqued or glazed. I found Mug 1 waiting to be fired. The green mark is food coloring that telling the kiln keepers to fire in the next batch.

I think I put Moody Blue glaze on Mug 1.

Then I settled down and threw a few more mugs. I am using 1 pound per mug now.

I guess these are Mugs 11,12, 13, 14, and 15.

The 2 small cylinders will be egg separators. I am selling 10 of those at the Christmas sale and 2 mugs.

I had a happy, peaceful afternoon. I stopped in to check on my parents. My Dad fell last Sunday. He looks like the wrath of God but his doctor thinks all will be well. He fractured his forehead or a bone around his eye socket and may have a bit of a dent in his forehead but at age 85 surgery might not be a good option. We will see. My mom was feeling great after a vigorous yoga workout. Wow!
