I made some test tiles to see what happened when I mixed glazes. Here's my favorite concoction. The middle is a combination of 'seaweed' and 'textured blue'. I LOVE IT.

Custom Order Updates:
Below you'll find three different custom sculptures I've been working on. None of have them been glazed fired, but are as I type. All the colors will be darker, the grey on Doc is actually a beige color after firing. All will have a glossy glaze.

Finally getting to WORK!
I've been putting it off, but today's my day! I'm making the sculptures for the give away, a couple of orders, some for stock...... I don't like to have greenware sitting around for too long because it's fragile and then there's the cats! So I wait close to firing time to make most of my things.
I took two pictures to show you the porcelain cubes (love that wet porcelain smell!) and my list!

I really love painting these sculptures in realistic colorings, it's challenging and fun~

Happy Special PurrrDay!
Here is a Tuna Can for my friend WHSKR - she thought about the best thing to write on it and it was LOADS of fun to make.

New Endeavors
I've been working hard on getting new projects going and this is my latest. Porcelain sculptures hand painted to look like 'real' cats. Of course they still have the whimsy to them, but they have the potential to be much closer to real life than the polymer ones:

What does your bathroom smell like?
I bet it doesn't smell like drying porcelain!
Because I have one cat that will eat any thing and another cat that is like a kangaroo in a china shop I have to dry my porcelain things behind close doors.
Here is what is currently drying in my bathroom notice the difference between the wet clay and the dry clay.

Which do you prefer
Now you've seen both my polymer work and my porcelain work - and I'd like to know, which do you prefer. What medium do you think is better?

Works in progress!
Here are my two current works in progress!
1. Pedestal plate...
2. 'Tuna' Novelty Cat Dish...
Both plates are elevated so as to aid in digestion. I believe that I'll just be glazing the inside of that particular dish and leaving the outside unglazed. Read more...

Porcelain
I'd love to have feedback from all of you if you can spare a second. I have fired my first clay sculptures and lots of them have cracks on the belly and I'm doing some research and trials to try to figure out if it was a firing thing, a me thing or a structural thing. But I'd still love some feed back on the overall look of them:

Happy New Year everyone!
I have four (currently) porcelain sculptures drying and almost ready to bisque fire. After I'll glaze them - I'm thinking Black, White, Red, and Textured Brown. Probably Black and White first....what do you think?

25lbs of Porcelain later. . . . .
I splurged and bought a 25# block of porcelain clay today! I made my first frolic sculpture out of porcelain. All the teachers I've spoken with LOVE the ceramic version better than the polymer ones, as do I. I'll post some pictures soon. I don't have a kiln as of yet - I'm using a friends to fire.
Oh My GOD, it's like butter - I love porcelain!
