The fusion tests from cone 6 fire have come back.  I am impressed to see that Potassium
Dichromate did not continue its previous fusion voracity-it just seems to have
stopped-hmmm?  However, its distant
cousin, Red Copper Oxide, had no trouble in proving that it could do better
fusing (it fused to the patty below!). 
OOHH! Take a look at Cryolite, it is scary looking, especially since it
looks like something one would find on a car battery!
My first bowls went into bisque this week as well as my line
blends test ‘tiles.’  I cannot wait to
see what they look like when I get to campus tomorrow J
On the home front, I have been ‘Spring Cleaning,’ so to
speak.  I have many art inspired projects
underway for the homestead and studio. 
Right now, my throwing and pushing more clay has been put on a minor
hiatus to allow for the homestead art projects. 
I feel by getting the homestead artfully redesigned, I will be more open
to much more inspired clay work J  I am so completely looking forward to
it!  I really love being able to let my
hair down and let all potential art influence me!!
Photo Gallery this week includes the Cone 6 fusion results and
some snapshots of just one of the artful homestead projects I have been working
on. Enjoy.
