Last day of the month Animals!

Not having very many animals in my life these days, this meme is limited to just once a month.

This month I'll introduce to you a couple of my grand-cats, who live with my grandson Michael.

 Teeny is the house-alarm cat, who sits in the sun most of the day, and if anyone approaches the house, she moves out of the blinds, which make a slight rattling sound.

 Michael can pick her up, but she does the hiss thing.

 Other cat (I can't remember her name) is shy, and looked at me a few times, but wouldn't come close.

Today's quote:

If we open our hearts, we will also find open hearts - it is always mutual.

Abbot Leo von Rudlof

 

Barbara's Critters get glazed

Whether these bisqued critters are chicken, fish, kitten or blue bird, this is how they look before glazing.

All the glaze work is done in Mayco's Stroke and Coat, which matures fine in our cone 6 glaze kilns.

What you've never seen a robin that fat?  How about the blue bird?

 At the same time, I get to walk by these lovely petals that sweep through the room smelling so wonderful.  (This was the rose that was supposed to be yellow)  

My work space is a bit of a clutter, eh?  My magnifying clip-on glasses are at the bottom on the bat next to cat.  I clip them on my close-up glasses and get another 1X magnification.  These old eyes need that.

More glazes will be applied at the BMCA studio tomorrow...like a nice blue for Mr. Fish, and white on the white areas that actually have no glaze at this time.

And now I finally get to tell you, this is posted as part of the Mud Colony meme...come over to see what other potters are doing these days!
