Crusty Porcelain Pieces...

The other day on my Marsha Neal Studio Facebook page I posted this picture of some pieces I came across that I had made back in October.

Then I said I would be adding them up into my Etsy shop…

These teeny tiny pieces were so close to staying with me…

And I did - that very same day. Not all of them, but a good bit of them.

I really liked the way the glaze was just thick enough around the edge with this piece…

Some I am going to make jewelry with - on Monday night (beading night with friends!)

Look at that brown rusty looking surface - Love it!!!

I also added a new section to my Etsy shop for them called Crusty Porcelain. I think I am going to be making a bunch of pieces in these glazes. They are like sandpaper - SO not my normal super smooth glaze - but I just love them. They look like old rusted things and I'm always slightly obsessed with things that look rusted… And your hands won't get all iron-y from fondling these!!!

They are porcelain clay, layered with an underglaze, then brown, green or blue crawl glaze. Want to see my glaze tests - check out my Glaze Post on Beads-of-Clay blog.

Glaze Test Picture and Link Help...

Ok, I need some input if you have the time…

I want to make a picture for the side bar that can be used to link to the Beads-of-Clay blog posts that I do with the Cone 6 commercial glazes.

Thinking about using this one…

Not sure if the blue type is good though…

Maybe White will stand out better against the black…

And the white type will go with the white lines on the tile (my Lick texture…)

***I updated it with the white lettering… See below***

Then the next thing I want to do with it is figure out the html that goes with it so if someone else wants to use the image, they can copy and paste the html and the picture appears then links to the BOC blog…

Advice? I am sure I can get it figured at some point…

But time to go feed Riley and get off this computer for a bit of one on one time with him...

Mosaic of Cutout Flower Pendants With New Glaze Colors

I am excited to have created this image for showing the 12 new glazes that I have recently tested and plan on adding 8 of them to my glaze line.

I am working on an entire new line of cutout flower pendants...

For now, keep an eye out in my Etsy shop to see what I'm coming up with and testing out.

Hope all is well with you!

Thanks for stopping by...

Here is a great link to a blog: Little Red House that hosts Mosaic Mondays...

Talk about a whole lot of inspiration in one place!

Think about participating... I'm giving it a try on a more regular basis!

Wish I could be this inspired for exercising (one day!)...
