It's still snowing today in my little forest in Quebec, but we can feel that spring is almost here.

I've glazed one of the little jars to see how it came out and I'm quite happy with it!
J'ai émaillé une des boites pour tester, et j'aime bien le résultat!

I told myself in January; Julie, no painting on your pottery for this batch.
It seems I just can't resist the urge to cover my stuff with creatures.

I'm soooo very slow, but I'm doing this mostly to keep relatively sane ;-).

Last Autumn, I tried my hand at #butterdishes, with three different types of gallery. In terms of function, I prefer the one on the right. I will try this shape again, with some #sgraffito! What's your favorite way of building these?

You can apply damp paper shapes on to a greenware and paint over it with engobe, underglaze, etc. The parts with paper are protected from that coat. You remove the paper when you’re done applying your coats. There are a lot of possibilities with this technique!
