This is a commissioned ceramic pumpkin bean pot Mom (aka – tt) painted and I thought it came out great so I wanted to show it off.

custom color Snoware mugs

Getting ready to do some glazing and saw these mugs my mom (tt) just painted. Custom Green Bay packer color mugs. Very cool. Only thing better would be Broncos colors and a better season of coarse.

Ultra high tech anti-flash ceramic photo setup

photo setup

Since it is only about 100 degrees today I decided to turn on 6 additional light in our already hot photo area and make the high tech photo setup so I can take less time retaking photos. Most times I take around 10 to 20 just to get a half way decent photo of each ceramic piece . The problem is the glare from shiny glaze and the camera flash. I hope I can get some decent photos with this setup. Used plenty of zip ties but I went easy on the duct tape and bubble gum.

pre-glazed ceramic pieces

Thought I would take a before photo of this cute personalized cookie jar and bean pot tureen. They may seem a bit pastely (new word?) now but when they come out of the kiln they are really going to be colorful.

BTW I have not forgot about the “other” bean pots that the girls are going to be painting for those who had inquired about them.
