A Slumped Bowl

My middle son gave me a slumped bottle mold for Christmas and I just love the way it came out. I use it as an olive bowl and I just love it. I hope to have a bunch of them made by our next craft show in May. 

The new kiln is wonderful

This is my old kiln, my mother bought it back in the early 80's and it is still a great little kiln. I just wanted to slump larger bottles.  

Here is the wonderful new kiln my husband found for me. He checked craigslist every day and found this one for $200.00!!! When we went to see it I didn't have much faith that it would work but thought I would give it a try. The nice lady sold it to us for $125.00 because it needed a new lid and she didn't know if it would work either.

Well a new lid $160.00 and a kiln sitter $40.00 and it works great.
