The before and after of my Portuguese inspired tiles. I’ve got a recipe for the black wax resist to try out next (thanks to Geri).
The silver sharpie works as a resist but leaves the bare tile… would be nice to end up with black lines

I’m playing around testing tile techniques. Trying out stroke and coat glaze for the colour. Used a silver pilot marker as the resist. Trying a couple options for how to transfer an image/pattern and wondering if I should buy a Cricut??
What I really want to figure out is how to make a black resist that deposits colour when it burns off. I think it’s called cuerda seca. Anyone have a recipe they want to share?

I’ve got my baby/pet camera pointed at the kiln to keep an eye on things. Will he ready to unload tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a good firing since it’s the first time I’ve fired since replacing a part and re-calibrating the sitter.

The BlackBerry Winter Market opened for business tonight. I’ve got mugs, trees, fern dishes and ornaments mixed into the displays.
There is all sorts of amazing work from paintings to woodwork, jewelry and glasswork.
A great place to get some holiday shopping done
