Oh my, these testers have turned out so beautifully I’ll be doing them over and over. 🥰

Making a pottery shaping rib from scraps in the shed 😍

My travel mugs inspired by our iconic homes here in Queensland, Australia! The Queenslander Mug in Forest Green!

Kind of obsessed with the way this turned out 😍 2x Micro Cerulean over 2x Black Engobe on white stoneware, fired to cone 6.

This guy turned out so stinking cute out of the glaze firing! 😍 Those colours really came through. 🧡

Thank you so much Alan 😊

Well, that’s the general consensus. But I do see people keeping them and using them for themselves with a good clean after each use. I couldn’t sell it as a food safe item. So it’s gone to its new home as a decorative item :)

The Crocodile Mug fresh out of firing!

The glaze crazed 🙁 This is a gift for a friend of mine, he is not fussed about it and is very happy with the outcome …and aware it’s for decorative use only.

I kinda love it though, right?

In light of -that- wombat video that had us all fuming, I needed to channel some positive energy so I underglazed The Wombat Mug!

This sweet travel mug was modelled around a very prominent architectural design in my area called the Queenslander. More to come in many more colours/styles I think!

Haha brothers 😂 They are also a thing and are very similar that is for sure!

Close! But it’s an Australian Native Lizard called the Thorny Devil ☺️

The Thorny Devil Mug is very much coming to life now 😍😍

Both! Depending on what I’m doing, the type of clay or the effect that I want to achieve ☺️

Kilns loaded up with some precious cargo for underglaze bisque! 🤞🏻

I’m such a sucker for a good green!! The two in the middle at the bottom are right up there, they are all stunning!

I definitely agree! I think I’m going to have to make a few more of these 🥰🐍

The journey of the Green Tree Python mug started nearly a year ago, and what a ride it's been. Many setbacks but here we are! Follow along to see how it turns out!
