Today, I did the second glaze-firing in four days. The bisque firing went well, thankfully. I then spent the next 4 days glazing. The first glaze-firing was all white rabbits. They are relatively straight forward. But it took me 4 hours to do one shelf!

In today's firing, there are two shelves. Mysteriously the black things are bronze-gold whippets. This glaze is made of lots of metal oxides. Hence they carry a higher price tag than those with other glazes. Application is also very messy. I need to place them very carefully in the kiln so that any dust doesn't fly onto other works.
On the upper shelf, there are several refirings.
Have you noticed the anteater and chickens? The little chicken is squatting under the anteater's long mouth! :D The kiln will be opened tomorrow morning, I hope they will come out nice! : )
