Glaze load kiln opening

So I promised to post more and here you go!  This was my glaze load opening.  It's always like Christmas when I open that glaze kiln.  Sometimes good, sometimes bad or so so.  I'll have to say this one was good.  I had 2 commissions and other stuff that came out great and only a couple things that will have to touched up and reglazed.  And I was so proud of myself that I remembered to take pictures!  

My husband just replaced the elements and thermocouples so my kiln fired like new.  A perfect cone 6.  It had been struggling to get to temp all summer and I finally just bit the bullet and ordered new elements.  It's so nice to have a handy husband!


Top level

Second level

3rd level

I didn't get the bottom level photoed.  So the commissions were a noodle bowl and spoon rest.





YAY, I feel like I'm on a role now!  I've got 2 more commissions waiting to bisqued but that will probably be next week.  Trying to make up for lost time.  I don't really do down time well.  I think about all the things I need to be doing!! 

So I'm not goofing off this Labor Day weekend.  I hope you are doing what you want to do!!
