Lost in the land of glaze...

Huh. I guess I have been away from the old blog longer than I thought. I'm not sure how that happened. I've been lost in the land of glaze for a while - guess I lost all track of time.

First up I wanted to highlight the new issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry. As usual, it is a gorgeous issue! There is a little for everyone, no matter what media or style you may work in. My friend, Shannon LeVart, has TWO excellent articles, there is a great interview with Stephanie Lee (someone whose work has been very inspiring to me) and Carla Reiter (whose knitted metal jewelry is astounding!) and a new section called From the Boutique which is a gallery of work with quick, simple instructions at the end. And there is my article, Winter Wedding. This is the article that got bumped from the Winter issue (thus the Winter Wedding name) but has now landed in the Spring issue. My article that was supposed to be in the Spring issue got bumped to the Summer issue, so I may have two articles in that one, but we shall see.

Anyway, I'm rambling. On to the glazing! We did a firing in the gas kiln this past weekend and I am very pleased with my pieces. I really had fun glazing. I worked completely randomly, not paying attention to what I was mixing with what. I put zero thought into the placement and color combinations. Just for the hell of it. Seeing the results was so exciting! Below are a few of my favorites. (These are large pieces that will be made into pendants - they measure 2 1/2" in width by 2 1/4" long.)

You are the queen of creative glazes Miss Nancy! Love them! I haven't had a moment to sit down to enjoy my Belle Armoire Jewelry issue, but you sure made me want to find it and read it! Enjoy the day! Erin

You know I loved your Winter Wedding. I could see that piece being handed down the generations from mother to daughter as a cherished family heirloom.

I have now made my fandom(?) public and official with your fan page.
