So the showcase is really what is on my mind. I have been doing a ton of ceramics lately trying to get ready. I'm still worried though because there is so much to do before the showcase, but I know I'll be ready! I am going to sit down and plan everything out that I need to do. I know that by Thursday I need all of my projects to be either finished or at the glaze ware stage.

OK so I finished two projects and I have one one the way. I am done with the three small shells and the three small sand dollar plates. I threw a pot on the wheel and on Friday I made a lid....the lid is going to be trimmed to follow the curve of the pot so that it is almost a ball shape. Then I will cover the pot with dots of slurry to look like the shell to the left. I know what my next project is and hopefully I can start that tomorrow. I am going to make a bunch of small dishes similar to the one I just made...like little miniatures of the shell on the left.

So I finished the three little shell dishes I have been working on and I wanted to put a picture up of them, but it wasn't working. So here is a picture of a sand dollar, because I am now working on three small sand dollar plates. They are going to be fairly simple so I am excited. I'm going to carve in a design and then fill it with black under-glaze and put a thin clear glaze over it.
