I made some sparklies!
The pink one was a Christmas/birthday gift and the lavender one was my practice version. Super happy with how they came out!!

So easy and fun!

Studio overalls made by me using Sasha Starlight side-tie dungarees pattern (Etsy!)
Super easy pattern, generous sizing.

Still drying after cleaning, but really happy with these. Feel like I’ve got the firing down now.

Today was not the peaceful studio day that I anticipated.
Not that I begrudge my studio mates their necessary noise just need to adjust my expectations 😀😅😭😀

First firing in the new kiln was successful! Still dialing in the whole process. Loving how the pink and red colors matured even at “low” temperatures. 2nd image shows the amount of shrinkage. 🤩

Still a bit damp from cleaning after firing but a really good test of the idea.

Color is good. Finish/texture is good. Firing setup is mostly good. Just need to keep it shape AND not crack. I have a solution to try.
