Wow it must be nice to have a full kiln load with so many great pieces 😮Love your work!!!
Wonderful creations AGAIN!🎉
Thank you so much!
Enjoyed the video - lovely pieces... thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing.
I have the mold of little boxes and I have been so stuck as to what to do with them. Thanks for the ideas! I think I’ll add something to the lids to help hold the lid better. I also pour them pretty thick so they don’t fall over too easily. Love the mushrooms did you make them yourself? Pleeeease do a video on how you made them!
I looooove little box molds! You should definitely try adding things to slipcast items, so fun! Will try and make some new videos soon
That raspberry mist and enchanted forest was incredible. Great idea.
I like enchanted forest over lots of things, its a good glaze! Pink is always fun 🩷
Nice work! Lots of cool stuff! I like the little mini lidded pots, and the frog. And the pot with the green inside.
Hey, thanks so much!!!
You can pack the kiln as tightly as you want. Do remember that pieces expand and shrink on the kiln while at high temps. I always make sure I can fit my pinky between things so they don’t kiss! Do you make the crystals yourself? I bought a bag of cone 10 clay and I make my kiln cookies really thin so that when something does stick to them it’s So Much easier to remove the cookie when grinding it off. I still have a ton of cookies that are cone 6 clay and I still add kiln wash. It takes a long time to dry but it works. With the hold you just want to start with a few minutes and work up by 2 to 3 minute intervals until you get the cone you’re going for. Size of kiln doesn’t matter. I just have to say that I absolutely love your style and the fact that you both handbuild and slip cast! I do both as well. I think we’ve talked about this before lol. I have wanted to work with colored slip forever and I’m so glad to see what you did. I have a few mason stains and made a light blue slip and slip cast a small open face snowflake!! Lol. I just don’t want to mess up good pieces so I keep putting it off. I am going to try the “stickers” like you did. I follow the forest something people as well and omg I LOVE what they do. I need to just go for it for crying out loud. I’ve been doing clay since 1999!!!! Not the entire time. I was sick for about 11 years and was bed ridden most of them time. Have you tried Dick Blick cone 6 slip? They use Standard white slip. I’ve used it forever and all I do is strain it with. 60 mesh and pour it! It used to be 16.00 for 2 gallons but now it’s 18.00 for 2 gallons and the best thing is that if you spend 59.00 in product they ship it for free!! Definitely order when it’s warm enough that it doesn’t freeze. Anyway I hope I have helped with the things you had questions about. My favorite piece is the container with the crystals on the top. I LOVE containers as well. Do you buy your molds online from the Facebook groups? Sorry for all the questions. Have an awesome day.
Hey michelle! Are you on instagram? Do you have pictures of your own work online? I look at facebook groups a lot but am not really active on there sharing anything personal anymore. Would love to talk more with you!!!
Also~ i buy most of my molds on ebay actually! And i definitely think I'll try a cone 10 clay for cookies thanks
Hi Amanda your pieces are so nice. Where do you find the molds for your tiny boxes?
Hi cathy, i buy most of my molds on ebay, but they are all vintage so when you find a good one, go for it!
Thank you so much! Again, beautiful work!!!
Hello Amanda, please tell me, for what can I use the thing with mushrooms? I dont know this!🙈… Your work is wunderfull, thanks for show Best regards, Ines from Germany (my english is not the best 😂)
Hi! I think one was a jar, one a vase and one a pipe! And the small ones are just figurines or miniatures, just decorations. If you mean a specific item, just tell me the timestamp and i can let you know more! Thanks for watching🍄
Oh and the ones with the flat backs also have a hole through the top to string as pendants or ornaments!
Thank you 😊I mean 3:26 = the pipe. For what can I use that??
Do you use a high fire slip for your mold pieces?
Hi its Georgies Gmix Premixed Slip, a cone 5/6 slip i get in gallon jugs!
