A Wood Stokin' Hubby

Getting ready for a day full of meetings (how exciting is that?)  Just going to post a couple of my husband Bill's pieces from the last woodfiring.  I, personally, LOVE the turquoise glaze.  We put beads into the last firing using turquoise and will be doing that in the upcoming one as well.  The first time was an experiment since it's hard to say where the wood ash will fly!  If it flies on the bead wire right by the hole....IT"S a LOSS!  This time they'll go in a more inconspicuous spot in the kiln....Hey...maybe some new colors too!  Want to see more of his incredible work?  I've made it easy....Just click his name for his shop and/or click "kiln" to learn more about the process and see more of his pieces....KUDOS to his wife for putting that website together ;o)

Our First Bead Wood Fire

These are awesome in person. I have been tempted to keep them myself and make my own necklace since I'm sure they will get tons of compliments. I just can't decide how I would string them to make them stand out the most. I'll keep them listed for a while, but if they don't sell soon, the temptation may get to be too much. I keep them next to me since I love looking at them while I'm on the computer. The process is very time consuming, the product worth it. We'll try some more in the next firing that will be a few months away. Check out my husband's blog to learn more about wood fire (splitfirepottery.blogspot.com). He's the one who actually does the work ;o) I did the sanding and glazing....and posting, of course!
