I spoke too soon

I woke up to sleet and snow, with enough accumulations to make the lawn white and the roads slushy. The weather people claim it will be sunny and in the 50s by afternoon. To me, it looks like a great day to do some glazing and make some pots in my Momcave. : - )

Storms have passed

We had an all-day rain yesterday with snow in the mountains. A few days before that, the wind gusted to over 45 mph. Some folks around Utah State were without power due to downed trees on power lines. But today is a new day and the Eastern Red Bud tree (yes Eastern, not western) managed to hold on to those pretty blossoms in all that wind. Just a little update from my locale. Hope your weather is calm where ever you may be.

Light to dark

I got the idea that a vase would have an interesting look if I could get the glazes to blend from light to dark. Overlapping multiple glazes that I had, sort of did the job. I had to use a glaze that I knew would run in order to get a bit of running and blending at the shoulder of the pot. Next time I will reverse the order because I like the upside down image, better. Or I could always stand on my head. Yeah, that's the answer.
