So this throw I decided to start working on a new item.  On the full moon in May, I celebrate the Rite of Her Sacred Fires.  I thought what a great way to celebrate but with my own handmade oil lamp.

Here are a few of my latest creations.

I had a small bit of clay left so I thought I'd try to make a jar out of it.

Weeks of Throwing and drying and still here I am with more pots to throw.  Thus far the goddess I threw about two weeks ago is nearly dry.  I have about two - three more weeks and we should be ready to bisque.

So I ended up losing 2 of the pots that I made yesterday.  Here they are cut off the bats and drying. Once they are bone dry we'll get started on the bisque fire.

I'm still working on my pots, pigs and plates.  I saw a bird feeder in a store a few days ago so I thought I'd try that too.  Those are the Hershey Kiss shaped pots below.

Sometimes when I think something is going really really well, it ends up being the opposite.  I did manage to salvage a few of these pieces but this is what happens sometimes.

This week I spent a bit of time working with clay molds and presses.  Some turned out ok, others, not so much.  Here's what I ended up with.
