Tiny Ghosts

Picnik collage, originally uploaded by Oooty.

My Ghosty ceramics earrings are made from white earthenware clay, impressed with a tiny tiny ghosty design and glazed in a clear glaze. I promise you that theses sweet ghosts are very friendly ones =0) and means no harm, but hanging out on human’s ears =D

The process of making these earrings is a long but very

satisfying one:

First, I formed the shape and stamped the wet clay, and let it try slowly in the room temperature.

After drying totally, I place it in the kiln for 1st fire.

After cooling from fire, I glaze it and let it dry again. And then, it goes to the kiln for 2nd fire.

12 karat Gold is applied over the cooled glaze and back again for 3rd fire!!!!!

So it is a long process, minimum 2 weeks for it to be made.

But, as I mentioned, very pleasant one!!!

Much Love

Oops when open the kiln....=D

Why don’t I ever read the label???

I had a bittersweet surprise when I finally had the time to open the kiln last night…..

Green porcelain turns into beautiful antique Blue =D

Oh well, Most of what I made does not fit the blue color, but, I manages to save some and make some sweet “vintage look” earrings.

 

Now I know, I must read the label on my clays before use =p

And of course new places to travel =0) (ohhh ….” if I was a rich man …”)

The earrings making are new thing for me – so I am very pleased to do something new!!
