Revived and ready for action!

Thank you, everyone, for all your very encouraging comments after my bout with the workaholic blues yesterday. It was fleeting, thankfully. This morning I woke up so anxious to get to the studio and pop open the kiln, I couldn't get out of the house fast enough. It was still pretty hot but I slipped on the leather gloves and melted my finger tips off just to get my little pile of pieces. It never ceases to amaze me how seven hours of glazing can fit neatly into a Chinese take-out container with ease.

There are a lot of beautiful pieces in this batch and I can't wait to turn them into jewelry (Headless Marie is in the house!). There are also a lot of new pieces for the Extra shop so look for an update sometime this week. :)

In between drooling over my goodies I worked on this week's batch of molds. I have so many new designs these days that I seriously wonder if they will all see the light of day. I usually try to make several pieces from each new mold, just to see how it looks, but then I tend to pick my favorites and focus on them. I need to show my love equally to each and every mold and give each of them their chance to shine... And then I need to check myself into the mental hospital so that I will stop talking about molds as though they were actual living entities with feelings.
(That's nothing. You should hear me talk to my rabbits...c-r-a-z-y)
