New Toy!

Right before I go back to Taiwan, I bought a used slab roller for myself.

I always wanted a slab roller. And now...I got one!!

It have been sitting in my studio waiting for me to get back from Taiwan.

Since I got back I have not been working, because of the jet-lag, classes and other excuses. 

But this whole week I told my self it's time to get back to work, 

so I try to figure out the best way I can fit the slab roller and other equipment.

Today...I finally use it for the first time in my studio:-)

I have to say, I kind of miss using my good old rolling pin.

But I think I will get use to this awesome addition to my equipment list very soon.

And beside the slab roller I also got something from Jason... I will post later on.

My studio now is getting better and better, yay!!! 

thinking of holiday...

I have been working in my studio little bit more now after the crazy summer camp is over.

I have been thinking about my pricing.

all my work are about $30+

so many people don't want to spend that much money all at once .

 and I don't want to lower my price either because I put in so much time into each pieces.

so I decided to make a line that is smaller so people can afford my work.

anyway, I am still testing out my idea and see how they will come out.

and these are the "shot cups" hope people will like them :-)

Ahaaa......nightmare....

Yesterday I was so grumpy...
because my kiln didn't fire off, which means all my glaze are HALF way fired
and this is what it looks like


I know what you think..."oh, it doesn't looks too bad!"
But I think my camera didn't do the justice on this one.
so I got my best-worst example


Check out this one!!

It's so bad that I really like it, I think I will keep this one the way it is


and maybe make a sculpture out of it


anyway, now I need to pack up all the pots and re-fire them in San Francisco
oh...wish me luck, because you never know if the second firing going to save them or kill them..
keep your finger cross for me.

New batch form the kiln!!

I finaly got my first batch of new work fired!!

and the turn out not to bad!!



I also learn from this batch about the color with my new work

(me and Jason alway have critique when we have new work)

anyway, I just appy for this year's Bazaar bazaar with my new batch...

so, wish me luck!!

New Slipper, New way

Today I wake up in a different kind of mood,

I think is a good mood, anyway...

I just realize that my slipper is really beat up and dirty

so I guess is good time to change my slipper



I got this cute slipper last Christmas from Laurie

I didn't want to use it, because it is so cute.

Anyway, I think today will be a good day to start use this slipper

because it just gave me a little inspiration for my work

okay, time to work in studio :-)

Something that I am working on :-)

I know I haven't post anything for awhile...
I really wants to post more often,
but my old computer just don't want to work with me sometimes

anyway, couple weeks ago I made these for jewlery



they are pretty small, but they are jewelery!

I fired them last week to cone 5 without glaze
they doesn't come out as good as I want them to be
but I was expecting them like that (because this is a test)

and I just bought some new slip for this, I think it would looks nicer in the new slip

Also, I cast some mold that Tiffany gave me, I turn them into salt and pepper shaker
and these molds are so cute!!

anyway, I have been working in my studio a lot more now
also I have working with wheel too,

can't wait to post some of my wheel work :-)

You learn something new everyday...
