My lantern came out! I think it looks pretty cool, with all the different colors and animals. Right now, I'm working on glazing my pitchers. The first pitcher (above) was alright, since I threw it in one piece. I had a hard time throwing the second one, though. I wanted to do it in two halves, so I threw a bowl and a top part for it. It was pretty difficult making the shape that I imagined for the top half, and since I have a tendency to make the rims of my bowls very thin, it was difficult to attach the pieces together later on.
My violin teapot piece came out of the kiln, too... But I'm still not sure whether to keep it or not. It'll probably look better once I glaze it, but it's already cracked multiple times where the neck connects to the body of the instrument. I'm kind of starting to think it's more trouble than it's worth, but I worked so hard on it at the beginning of the year that I feel like I should keep it. Maybe I'll set it aside for now and work on it when I'm not so hungry. I gotta be in a better mood for this stuff.
