Bird Pendants and Glaze Mixing Finds...

I feel like I'm getting a lot done today...

And all while having allergies and a slight sinus infection which means I'm walking around feeling like my head is in a bubble...

I've glazed pieces...

I've loaded and am firing a kiln...

Taken pictures of the garden, cropped and posted them on my garden blog...

Updated Etsy with some of my Chickadee and Dark Eyed Junco Pendants...

Updated my FaceBook page, which has been "glitchy" today...

Eaten a Bobbie from Capriotti's along with a small bag of Salt and Vinegar Kettle Cooked Chips (oh, am I regretting those chips now - pregnancy indigestion is not fun!)

And now Riley is happy and fed and he is beckoning me to take a nap...

It's a lot of work to digest that thanksgiving meal on a roll...

So here are some images I've taken recently...

The above picture is when I was measuring and mixing 2 glazes to come up with a new glaze color palette for this fall.

I love that stuff like this just happens...

It's like a natural flow in the studio...

When you are in the zone...

My little drawing of a Chickadee (front side)...

on one of my porcelain decal pendants

(new porcelain blank from Bisque Bead Supply!!!)

And of course, the back side...

Can't leave off it's tail, poor thing!

This back side always makes the bead ladies giggle with delight...

And yes, all of the larger pendants with these birds have a back side tail...

Smaller ones may not (I usually double side the small ones with one of each bird).

And the Dark Eyed Junco...

We should be seeing them arrive at our feeders sometime in the next month or so...

They arrive just before the cold weather starts to settle in...

And the Chickadee again on a round pendant.

And with that...

I'm off for an afternoon nap before picking up Chloe from school...

I think we are going to have some outdoor activities this afternoon including filling up our bird feeders, collecting seeds, blowing bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and visits from the neighborhood kids (they like to hang out with us for some reason... must be fun or something!)
