Peppermint Tree

Yesterday I took a break from my “bread and butter” line and threw some pieces for my wildflower project. Today I embossed the flowers onto them...

This looks really interesting. Can't wait to see the finished item

@seacreature it won’t be til next year Desi! Fire bans from October to April 😕

It must be hard to have to wait so long before you can fire it. Is there a reason for not firing these in an electric or gas powered kiln?

[Diana]

That looks so amazing, what a great idea. I am interested in the answer to the above as well ;-)

lovely pattern

@merrelyn @ludwigsdiana I will do the first (bisque) firing in an electric kiln, but the final firing will be a pit firing. It will be hard to wait!!

@anniesue thanks Justina

@narayani Why is firing banned till next year Narayani, it seems so unfair ;-)

@ludwigsdiana the “pitfiring” is an open firing (that I do in a barrel) as in a proper outdoor, wood fuelled fire. With our hot, dry summers, there is too much risk of flying embers.
