When I unloaded my cups all looked good until closer inspection.

A bit more work to do on the glaze yet but I'm happy with the colour .

Here is another one with a sun inside. Again AI generated so it has smoothe out the finger marks yet again but it should still come out of the kiln like this but I may end up with a different colour.

Ai, projection of some small bowls I'm working on there are a few more small finger marks on the outside than what it shows but you get the idea. Will be firing some bigger ones than this in a few days but they have flowers on the outside instead of ladybugs. These little ones will be in the next load.

Keeping it real with all the finger marks. They all take on their own shape and I can't wait to see how these ones come out

One cup fired and finished. At last it's round tidy and clean. Yay

Had another go . The lid is straight at the moment i hope it stays that way. Everything thing is out of square even though I measured it scrupulously mitred the edges but still can't see how to join them without making a mess obviously my cut isn't straight one side is higher than the other but I'm letting it all go and I guess I don't want them to look like they are off an assembly line🙂
