Greenish mug with texture and metallic highlights.

I made this on my basement wheel and glazed it with Seaweed (color) over Iron Lustre. The bumps are made from tk-1 texturizer. I fired this in my kiln to cone 5 but I had some pinhole bubbles in the glaze... So I had my pottery teacher fire it to cone 6 in our classroom kiln. The shiny quality of the glaze was mellowed in to a satin finish that I really like.

I gave this to my friend Tracy because:
a: She's awesome.
b. She turned me on to Weeds and then lent me all the seasons on DVD.

Protip: get to know tracy.

Four blue mugs for Bart

I made this set for my friend Bart in exchange for a brilliant bottle of pinot noir. They are made from ckk6 porcelain with grog and feature blue float over Chun plum glazes. These are homemade from wheel to kiln.

Glow in the dark waves hat.

I made this from slate-blue Rowan All-seasons cotton and Bernat Glow-in-the-dark yarn. This was part of Googleserve 2010 and the hats went to chemo patients. I made 2 hats and collaborated on a third and then I volunteered at the Marra Farm.

Chris models this hat in between fighting fires and handing out foos-shamings.

Two red mugs.

Two tall red mugs.

Two porcelain mugs made from Seattle Pottery's CKK6 with grog. The glaze is UmberFloat over FireBrick fired to cone 5 in my basement kiln.

Coffee-brown leather Man-Bag.

After a long hiatus I am back to making. My newest hobby is leatherwork.

I cut this from a whole 6oz (thick) veg-tanned cow hide. It has internal pockets made of lining leather. I colored it with "Dark Cocoa Brown" water-based stain using my airbrush and I applied a color-fast sheen by hand. I hand stitched and hand riveted it in my basement while watching a season of Dr Who. The aged-looking brass findings are from Joann Fabric. This is a skills-building prototype for a larger laptop case for my macbook (that I plan to start after a holiday craft sprint.)
