After stirring up the homemade slip out of commercial white clay (Standard 240), I pour it on leather hard pieces. I let these dry until there is no sheen, clean up the bottom with a sponge, and carve into them.
These are miniatures. You can also see the handled jug in the second picture on the far left for scale. I've got a bisque load firing. I was hoping to have some more pieces fresh from the kiln for Saturday's market, but it just ain't happening.
New in the garden are cucumber plants growing, sweet potato slips almost ready to transplant, and playing with the idea of tilling up our front yard to plant beans. I think next season, we may till up the entire front yard and try our hand at corn. We can't help ourselves...
