Aw thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that! I try to be quick and be prepared so you don’t have to watch me fumble 😂 ❤️

Yay!!!!!! Omg so glad u loved it!!!! I can’t wait to try the rainbow on plates and bowls 😍 oh and guess what? Matt made me these amazing molds for plates and bowls that I can use a slab with and then put on the wheel to throw a foot or refine it quickly! I will do a demo video…haven’t used them yet but I’m about to!

Yes!! Grateful to be 💗

Right?! She has a knack for it - I’m all about color and fun 🤩 😂 like punky brewster 😂 remember her?!

Aw thank you so much!!!! 😘

Awwww 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 - this makes it all worth it! Thank you!

Oooommmggg meeeeeee toooooo!!! It looked so wonky after the flux design but when it came out of the kiln I was like WOW 🤩

Kelly!!!! Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️‼️

Thank you so much Veronica! 😘

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you remembered!!!!! Yea!!!!! 😘

@@thehappyhomesteadnh thank you for another great video!!

@@ClaraWsfreedom awwwww you’re welcome!!! And thank YOU for all the love ❤️ 🙌

Marcie! Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️!!!!

My girl!!! Feels good to be back! Can’t wait to catch up on your videos!! Oooooooo the reactive red and soft red with the flux would probably be gorgeous! Might be a little softer than my LOUD bowl 😂😂😂 without a stroke and coat? Yes! Mason stain duh - I had a brain fart 💨 been dealing with poison ivy all over me 😔 but I mix a little mason stain powder in water …shake it up or mix well w brush. It will be very watery ..then a light wipe back. Sometimes I don’t even wipe it back because it’s so faint and I go over it 5x 😂 depending on the color! I’m thrilled w this kiln!!! Love you girl 😘

Awwwww thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️‼️

Aw thank you so much Tricia! I really appreciate that 😍💕!!

Thank you so much!!! 😍

Thank you! 😊

Thank YOU for your appreciation ♥️!! I find it challenging to stick to one glaze combination 😂 which is why we never have a matching set of anything 😂

Thank you so much!!

Awwww thank you!!!

Awwwwww!!!! Thank you so much 😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Thank you so much!!!

Right? Matt loved the honey flux on the speckled too!

Awww so happy it helps you! Glazing is an art by itself 😂

Thanks!!!! I made the handles super thick and dukey this time 😂 I kinda like thick handles

😂😂😂😂 I love YOU CAHLA!!!! you were a huge part of my inspiration for glazing this load!!!! I had the van in mind and your adorable style - I mean, I’m still looking for your van out my window every morning 😂

Awwwww thank you!!!! The love on here is amazing 😍🙌!! I know right? It’s okay…I can make more 😂 I’m excited to try different colors for the rainbow effect! And thank you - it was a great month..I’m so grateful! 😘

@@thehappyhomesteadnh you totally made my day!!

@@MugwortsArtcraft love that 💗

Awwwwwww thank you so much!!!

How easy is it to throw with the Laguna speckle buff?

I love that clay! I am new to pottery!

@@freidabauer5444 aw thanks! Which clay? I use 3 or 4 different ones 😂 ya know to keep it simple 😂

@@freidabauer5444 sometimes I like it better than bmix because it seems more forgiving. It’s super soft tho so I have to go easier and lighter with my hand pressure - and it’s rough on the hands in like a exfoliating type of way. But after a few minutes I don’t even notice it. For me, it takes a little time to adjust between the different clay bodies if I’m using one for like a month and then switch to another. I do love the variety tho!

Thank you!!!!!!! It was so fun to make!! Soooo, I used to get pinholes with a lot of glazes on the speckled buff until I started using the Camille Hoffman slow cool schedule - NO MORE PINHOLES! But I am noticing a little crazing on some of the PW on the speckled buff..I think it may be that I need a slower cool down on the pieces where the outside is raw. Doesn’t seem to happen when I layer on top of the PW tho. And it hasn’t happened on all those pieces so idk 🤷🏻‍♀️. I may try just 2 coats inside rather than 3 as well. I would love to see how it works out for you in your new kiln 😍!! Cannot wait to see what you come up with too for the peacock glazes!!

I missed you too!!! Yea! Getting back at it and it feels so good! Love you 😘

@@thehappyhomesteadnh yeah i am at it too. And indeed feels great. I tried a new clay and i love it. And new style of mugs. Will be back on it tomorow.

@@sylviefeys744 so awesome!! What kind of clay?!

@@thehappyhomesteadnh it's local one here, it's pinkisch red clay with 0.2 grog. I thought i didn't like grog but i can actually work well with this one. Before it's fired it's like yellow 😅

@@sylviefeys744 oh wow!!! I’m going to buy some red clay soon! The grog seems to make it easier to throw with! It’s way more forgiving than like bmix!

I WANT them!!!!! I might buy a few for my birthday 😂 and a large Extruder and a mini test kiln 😂

@@thehappyhomesteadnh There are so many fun goodies I want. To bad money isn't unlimited. 😂I do love my Advancer shelves.

@@katlady5000 I wonder if I should just order like 4 to start - so tell me more. Like if a pot sticks pretty bad, it doesn’t stick to the shelf at all?! How about grinding a runny pot?

@@thehappyhomesteadnh It doesn't stick at all. However the glaze can boil and have bubbles it in. To Grind I use 8 inch grinding discs on my wheel to wet sand it. I start with 80 grit to get the glaze off then switch to 120 and 240 to get the bottom smooth. I used a chamois towel that I cut in a circle and got wet to attach the grinding disc to my bat without gluing to my bat. It works well for me. I would suggest one or two to try out and see if you like it. Unplug your kiln before putting in or removing the shelves this is a safety issue. I hope that helps.

@@katlady5000 oh interesting! How come? I’m curious - why the turn off and then on

Thank you!!!!! So nice to hear..appreciate you! So 3x honey flux all over and then 3x iron lustre just from the rim to the top of the handle, like where it’s attached! I like to leave room for the iron lustre to run down ‼️

Omg I’m freezing my ass off 😂 in my studio waiting for the wood stove to heat up! I’ll ask him when he gets home and get back to you 😘 promise!

Crack me up! We heated a 14 room Colonial with central heat but had that extra wonderful wood stove in the kitchen. It was always the warmest room in the house! Now live in Fl. Studio is on my patio---ahem, today was 83! Re the discs...I'm thinking 150 grit might be a nice middle of the road as I rarely have drip-age. I've learned to control the fluxes--but every once in a while, shit happens!@@thehappyhomesteadnh

Lol 😂 hiiii! So I think you are referring to the discs that I use on my wheel right? Because I have another video with Matt using a tile sander. But for the discs - it depends. For clay with lots of grog like speckled buff, I will use the 240 and then I will hit it with an 800 or even a 1500 to make it super soft! That’s for making a soft feel on the hands. For grinding chunks of glaze off, I use the 60 grit because it’s coarse. I got my discs here: diamondcoretools.com/products/8-diamond-grinding-discs-12-bat

@@thehappyhomesteadnh Thanks Miss Molly. Get that stove cranking---keep warm. Sheesh, it was 84 today.... We're still waiting for sweater weather--- 50dgs!

@@PamelaRoss-qh6jh hahahaha omg so lucky!! Where are you located?

@@thehappyhomesteadnh I'm in Palm Bch Gardens. You? Rainy today and 78 with the promise of intermittent showers ALL damn day! Won't be able to play with clay on the patio studio today....inside shit coming up! Stay in touch, girl! Pam

@@PamelaRoss-qh6jh lol at least it’s warm! We are in Salisbury NH ❄️😍…have a great day!

Correct!!!! I was so itchy in that video 😂…I got poison ivy all over me 😩 but it’s healing now thank god!

@@thehappyhomesteadnh That sounds awful. I have shingles on my inner elbow and that was horrible.

@@katlady5000 oh no!!! My mom had shingles and it was so awful. I’m sorry! Hope you feel better soon!

@@thehappyhomesteadnh It's gone now and I'm glad I had it about 2 weeks it was horrible.

@@katlady5000 I’ve heard it’s the worst! Glad you are all better! I’m almost out of the woods but so itchy still everywhere 😆 😫
