Work in Progress: Christmas Table Runners

I've had these French General Joyeux Noel charm packs for a few years now.  We put our pencil tree up, and my husband decided I needed to start sewing a tree skirt (that work in progress not pictured here) before the holidays are over. I'm watching Jenny Doan's tutorial to complete that tree skirt.  Stay tuned.  But in the meantime, I had 5" squares leftover and hence these table runner  quilt tops.

Ceramics: Porcelain Bowl

Materials:  Hagi porcelain, King Tut's turquoise engobe, Cone 6 clear glaze

I haven't sold this bowl as it is holding my jewelry at the kitchen sink where I take off my rings before washing.

Ceramics: Plate

Materials:  Cassius Basaltic, Texture Roller, Cone 6 Rutile, Cone 6 Clear

This plate came out of the kiln recently.  It may be a bit too large in diameter for new dinnerware, but I do love the texture and finish....so much that I ate my sashimi lunch on it today.  More to come.

Sewing: Mermaid Doll w/accoutrements

Ceramics: Small Plates

Materials:  Black Mountain clay, Cone 10 glazes

 

I made these plates last year using Chinet paper plates as a mold and after they were fired in the ceramics class at the high school I work at, I started using them in the kitchen at my workplace.  Because they're Cone 10, they're incredibly sturdy despite my having rolled the clay thin.
