Newly made puppy buttons, getting their first firing at about 1987 degrees Fahrenheit. They will take 8.5 hours to fire, and one full day after that to cool down. Then they will be glazed in white and black glazes, and be shiny and beautiful, awaiting exciting applications on joyful creations.

In the same kiln load are red clay buttons. Textured hearts and apples shown on the right. Red clay is rare for me;it is gorgeous but brittle and delicate, dries so quickly it warps easily. But they are so pretty.

The plan is to get them glazed in time to get some sets in the on-line store, and to take many with us to Long Beach IQF.

Click on images to see a larger photo. They will look much different when they have been glazed and fired again. I’ll attempt to do side by side comparisons to post in a couple days.
