New cheeky chickens in progress... and a new favorite glaze!

This past Saturday I put more cheeky chickens onto the oxidation cart for their last firing. Along with them went some parts to a windchime I'm trying to put together as well as a mug with a new glaze. (These windchime parts have been underglazed in black.)



In the background you can see what can be either a chicken soap dish or sponge holder...


And here you can see where I tried some red iron oxide on the 2 chickens on the left...



These above are my normal cheeky chickens ready for their final firing.


And here are some parts of the windchime I'm currently working on... (they have been glazed in Blue Rutile like the finished mug in next picture)

      I like the glaze on that mug too. And I'll post a pic of the windchime when it's done. But remember, it is my first windchime (a learning experience)...

    Dear Rian, no suggestions as I don't know anything about glazes or firing or the art of pottery. But I do wonder if any of your objects are for sell. Please let me know. Peace.

      Dee, I generally give them away to friends and family. But I have had some studio sales. I have one lady who collects my chickens. But I would be glad to send you one or two just to sit on your shelf. They are happy little critters! If you would like more, I do sell them for $10 each.

    I came over from your other blog, and think the chickens and the red fox are extra cute.
