Kiln cooling

I'm waiting for my kiln to cool down. So impatient.... Its not going to be ready until tomorrow. I've hopefully got some beads to be made into a birthday present and maybe some bowls and a leaf thing and the kids solitaire. Fingers crossed its all ok.

Opening my kiln

Opening my kiln after a glaze firing always feels like i'm opening presents on my birthday. Its so exciting. Everything turned out how i wanted it to. Ive now got loads of beads to play with and make some fab jewellery. You will soon be able to see the finished pieces on my site . Earrings and necklaces mainly.
