This week's odds and ends

I'm decorating and glazing Karen's Jar this week...

I decided to paint iron oxide (the brown stuff) on the surface of the figure so that the glaze will have some life to it and show off the textures. I'll treat the flowers in the same way.

Here's a successful cup and saucer. I'm still not thrilled with the "green shino" glaze, but this cup is better than the first attempts. Incidentally, my reglazing plan didn't work out... The brown cups were unchanged, but at least I didn't ruin them. I'll make more.

And lastly, here's a butter dish in progress. I think Mr. Crayfish will make an appearance on it. The big question is: inside or outside?
