In between kiln checking and tweaking, yesterday's sunshine got me inspired...as well as the lack of housework help getting me riled....


The kitchen is mostly de-cluttered although still waiting for some electrickery and carpentry.
The hall and stairs have been painted Incarnidine Red...that was chosen just over a year ago after much pachwork painting of test pots!

I ran out of time to take a load to the local recycling centre, even though it closes at 7pm....

I've peeked in the kiln-


and it looks good...but is too hot to touch!


I'm pleased with this little dragon jar- I hope the lid isn't stuck!   If it is ok when it comes out of the kiln, this one is going to a friend who loves dragons although he isn't Welsh or Chinese...I'm not sure, but he might be a Dragon himself!

Does your friend have wings? if not he must be a Chinese dragon, my son tells me they don't have wings :-)
Loving the view from your sink, it must make washing up a much more pleasant task!

Can you bring some of that weather up here? Having said that, the sun is shining today [in between the showers]

They look lovely.

You know Gwynneth, one of these days I'm going to have to buy one of your lovely pots!

Great before and after photos of the kiln. Love that dragon jar. Does your friend drink tea? I'm told it's an indication of dragon-ness!
