IT'S THE TIME OF THE SEASON

As I have mentioned before, because I work in three distinct temperature ranges, I normally work in cycles specific to each though there are times I make stuff and slip it in a bisque and set it aside for another time. In this case, here is a group of "Falling Leaves" decorated pieces that are part of a group that will make their way to southern Connecticut in November along with a similar group of plum blossom pieces  as well. In each case I made a group of bowls and a square tray form that go together which lets me bring a cohesive group that works together and for the larger group it will include tebori, abstrakt resist, plum blossoms, falling leaves and winter berry designs. This illustrated group is freshly decorated and was loaded in to a bisque kiln which I will fire tomorrow. I am trying to keep on top of things to prevent the enviable backlog as long as possible and while firing the kiln tomorrow I will throw in the morning and decorate pots in the afternoon, it is time to plan out my time to its best measure, a skill I am still not all that fond of or good at.
