decal progress

I tested a couple of decals at a lower temperature - about 780C - and the results are promising. The colours are far closer to what they should be, unlike last time.
Air/water bubbles caused burn holes. Thats my silly fault for rushing them.

How cute are the fluffy baby ones?!

A more successful result of the decal firing was this set;

The first decal firing wasn't successful. 800C might be too hot for them, so I'll be trying a lower firing next week.Dull greens and faded yellows

Burn holes, probably water bubbles that I couldn't squeeze out.Oranges and reds burnt out too.Generally they were all far too pale. The tiny ones are pretty cute though.

my (disgruntled) creative space

Ah this morning felt like it would be a good day. But within 3 minutes of being at college I discovered that those once-nice-art-buying-folks can soon become blackmailers. Sigh. However! I am potting...
Some beaker/cup things. I thought I got the size sorted, but then the subsequent ones became taller. I mean, thats cool cos I'm making bigger pots (progress much!) but annoying cos I need a lot of the same thing to be the same size.Same with all my ramekins. Great sizes and quality but nothing that matches.And here's a sneak preview of my lorikeet feather decals...I'm excited about these lovelies.

More nice creative people over at Kootoyoo's! Kirsty is so good for hosting this every week, huh?
