▶️ 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 - 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟮 ◀️ In my last video I show ▶️ 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 - 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟮 ◀️

In my last video I showed how I prepared a new round of test tiles. Now the kiln has cooled and it’s time for the next step.

As I mentioned before, I work with different clay bodies and fire to different temperatures. Glazes can change a lot depending on both the clay and the firing temperature.

For this round, the tiles were fired to hot cone 7, with a hold at the top temperature, because I wanted to see how the glazes behave when they are pushed a bit higher.

Once the tiles are cool enough, I start documenting everything. Using a permanent marker:

➡️ I first mark the side that had the raised area so I always know the orientation of the tile.

Then I write down all the important information: • which glaze I used

➡️ the clay body
➡️ the firing temperature
➡️ and whether there was a hold at peak temperature

This makes it so much easier to understand later what I actually did and to keep the tiles organized.

During firing, the tiles were placed two and two together, leaning against each other, so they supported one another. This way I didn’t need any extra supports to keep them upright.

I hope this video helps 💕

One thing I really miss about Austria, now that I’m living in Norway, is the original Mozartkugeln 😂

😬 So I couldn’t believe my eyes when I recently found them on sale in a shop here in Norway 🥳

Of course, I had to put some into my Easter egg 🐰And I’m so happy about it - every time I open it 😇

💞 Today was one of those happy kiln opening days you always hope for 😬😍

I can’t stop looking at these funny Easter bunnies and their little or rather big sheep friends 🤣

They were so much work to produce, especially painting all the tiny details and making the sheeps fur, but I’m so happy they all survived the kiln 🥳

Only one little bee decided to land on an ear 🐝

The others stayed upright thanks to the wire, and they turned out even better than I had hoped 💞

I hope they make you smile a little too 😬

😬 I had an idea for my Easter bunnies collection and I wasn’t sure if it would work 😅

I wanted tiny bees 🐝 to look like they are flying above the bunnies’ noses 😱 To do that, I connected each bee with a special wire and will fire them to a higher temperature 🥵

🔥But firing with wire is always a bit risky — it can melt, weaken, or collapse and ruin the whole piece 👀

So I’m keeping my fingers crossed that everything will survive the kiln just as I imagined 😬
