Here's the fruit of the kiln from Monday's bisque firing. I used underglazes on some of the pieces. I've got a lot of glazing to do.
I cut some lilacs from a tree out front of Chris and Sara's new apartment. I'd been jonesing for some lilacs and the minute I saw their tree, knew I'd found a way to satisfy my craving. I love lilacs! We planted a couple of bushes last summer but only one flowered and I wasn't sure if I should cut the flowers yet as the bushes are still so small. However, when I got home today I noticed one of the major branches of the bush had broken off - probably during the hail storm we'd had earlier, so I finished the break and cut the flowers and added them to my bouquet I'd gotten last night. Our lilacs are a much brighter purple than the typical lilacs. They are so beautiful and they smell so great when you walk into the house!

We need to plant some more lilacs out there - maybe where a couple of the current bushes have died?
