Interesting new glazes

Soap dishes

Ev and I have been trying out some new glaze combinations.We think some of them turned out pretty cool....we did have a few that did not work out so well.Trial and error...

Karen has been away at her painting class and we hope to see her out at the studio soon.

Living birdhouses and more Bears

Wow...back to back glaze firings....the frogs have been busy.
Here are some more of our birdhouses and some that we call our living birdhouses.
The top of the birdhouse is planted with plants and surrounded by moss.With all the rain we have been getting they should do well.We have also been busy making more bear bowls ,platters and soap dishes.

Retired???

Ev has said she is retired from Log Home Building?? I don't think so ...she has just changed the material.Her attention to detail and contruction is worthy of any handcrafted Ram Creek Log home.

The white vase is for our most loyal follower..our sister Dagmar,who always leaves us such nice comments.

Karen our other frog has been busy at her other job and hasn't had time for a lot of glazing..

Don't worry Karen summer will be here soon and you will have lots of potting time....Yipee!!

The frog is a yarn bowl just to keep you company when you are knitting or crocheting.He just makes me smile.

The Studio is humming

The studio has been really busy....back to back glaze firings and  Ev loaded the kiln for a bisque firing today.Lots of birdhouses and feeders,we are getting everything ready for our Mother's day sale on May 12th at Log Cabin Studio.The bowls are from a teacher Don who came out last week to learn about glazing.I think he will be really happy with the results.I love the way the big bowl turned out.
I hope you are having a wonderful sunny spring.

Bisque firing

This is what came out of the kiln yesterday,I can no longer call Ev a lazy frog,since she has come home from her winter holiday she has been really busy organizing the studio.The studio has all new shelving ,new lights and the kiln has been moved .Thanks also to Richard for all his hard work.Ev has also been busy creating birdhouses,feeders and trays.Her and Karen loaded the kiln on sunday with all of our creations.I on the other hand was off camping and quadding for the weekend,so I guess it is my turn to be called the lazy frog.Today we will start glazing.We have a few new glazes to try so I will keep you posted.
