The first load of gallery teacups are in the kiln today for a bisque, along with some Robots and sundry tiles. I am able to fill the big kiln with three weeks’ work! Woohoo!
Now that I’ve taken a breather from the break-neck pace of teacup creation, I have come across a few little points of dissatisfaction with my work. I wish my idea for the Sandman cups was stronger (though there is still time to change them, so *that’s* okay). I wish I had thought to make Bonk my 69th cup, and the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy should have been the 42nd. I wish I had put more test tiles in the last few months’ glaze firings; my existing glazes and underglazes are nice and all, but half the cups will need something different if they are to turn out the way I want them to.
Ah well. Another three hundred-something teacups to go. Plenty of time to get it all right…
