haldechick: The upside-down part of a tray that I've had in my head. The end result is just sort of "meh". I mean, it's not terrible, but it's not really what I saw in my head. I think I'm going to try it again in a different configuration, but I'm not going to rush

haldechick: Trays! These are testers as I played around with how high to cut the lip, and how to do the feet... but by the end of next week I'll have these two different sizes in the shop. Both are about 15 inches long; one is about 2.5 inches wide at the base, and o
haldechick: ... yet another tester mug shape. Meh; this one doesn't really excite me all that much.
haldechick: ... starting this Monday off with a pile o' mugs, indicating how many cups I need to get started in the morning....! Hah! Actually I'm kind of rested this morning, as I took the weekend off from work. Saturday I had an all-day blacksmithing class (more on
haldechick: My toilet tank flowers are coming along nicely! Usually I'm not a fan of pink, but this was just so pretty I couldn't resist adding it to the family....
haldechick: Well, the slab I rolled out wasn't big enough for my original plan of four (three octagons and a square) but let's see how three looks....
haldechick: Outtake from a photo shoot a couple of weeks ago... Quality Control approves of the bisque but thinks I should glaze a little faster.
haldechick: Are there things in the back of your fridge that have become sentient and are slowly digesting other things in your fridge that get too close to it? Warn people away with these biohazard magnets! (Also great for just, you know, being a magnet, and holding
haldechick: These octagon dishes will be hitting the store soon. Good for everything from dipping sauces to spoon rests to catch-alls for change and paperclips around your desk!
haldechick: On one hand, I'm happy with this butter dish. I wanted to retain sort of a "cloth" look, like I do with the bowls that use the same doily. On the other hand, there's a really fine line between the clay being too soft to stand up and shape, and so hard tha
haldechick: I think I say this every time I have a new mug, but this one really is my new favorite....! While this May pine cone mug is a limited edition, I'm very happy with the shape of the mug itself, so expect to see that come into the shop with different decorat
haldechick: Soap dishes! These are testers, but expect to see that birch glaze on chocolate clay show up as a regular thing because GORGEOUS. I'll have some at the end of this month when I release the new Marie collection!
haldechick: ... So, I have this idea... for a tray.... let's see if this works....
haldechick: Let's talk tea! Some of you may know that my favorite tea is the Aveda tea - I never thought I would like a tea with licorice in it because I am NOT a fan of licorice - but there's something about that tea that I just can't get enough of! I drink a hot mu
haldechick: Those reds, tho!
haldechick: What are you working on this week? I'm working on ceramics, ceramics, yarn club, ceramics, and ceramics! How about y'all? What's going on with you?

haldechick: Someone mentioned that they liked that the little yarn balls with crochet hooks in them look like planets. I think that's appropriate, because for many of us, crochet and knitting are our whole worlds!
haldechick: Did I ever post about this? Earlier this Spring, these two kept showing up on the property. It seemed like for about two weeks, every time I tried to leave to go to the post office, they were hanging out down my my mailbox, near or actually in the drivewa
haldechick: I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.
haldechick: Rosemary Mint: Destined to become your favorite need-a-pick-me-up soap, this is an eye-opening mix of rosemary, spearmint, eucalyptus, and peppermint. Minty fresh and refreshing! You can find this soap in full-sized bars, or as part of the Herbal Fragranc
haldechick: Bisque, from a firing a couple of days ago. Now, if only I had time to glaze all of that, because I'm really itching to get to it!
haldechick: Limited return colorway When Doves Cry is still available in four base yarns - Joy (a superwash merino sport weight), Lynn (a superwash merino DK weight), Tepper (superwash merino worsted weight), and Yolen (a luxury fingering weight yarn that's superwash

haldechick: Trying to get a handle on Monday. Get it? Handles? Mugs? Mugs with handles? SEE WHAT I DID THERE? (brain not awake yet; pls send coffee)
haldechick: ... that light, tho.
haldechick: New Marie bowls, coming soon....!
haldechick: I think I forgot to post this when it happened... my supervisor giving me stink-eye while I was loading the kiln. He sure is a task-master!
