I'm happy with these wall pieces. These bark plates have come a long way, I used to make them round for little lunch plates. Now I'm making them square and they look nice arranged in a group on the wall. This way they can be enjoyed either way! I had fun incorporating the texture onto the top with a little splash of color. The flashing slips really 'flashed' bright orange and red this time, I almost thought the picture contrast was off, but no, they really look that way in person!
I love a soda firing in the fall. Just when the lighting starts to change in the afternoons and the edges of the forest and trees are starting to turn those warm bright colors of fall, and now I have all of these autumn colored pots to gaze upon. After the unloading there are so many pots to look at it's really hard to see them all. Only later do they start to absorb, all the little details shouting out loud in their own quiet way. I just love this time of year and sooner or later I'll get the crackle of my wood stove going. Hot tea, hot soup and handmade pottery...sounds cozy, doesn't it?
