Card tiles

First job today was to get to the post office. I had a couple of Papa Stour orders to send out to the states. It always takes much longer than you would like even though I managed to hit the post office with no queue!

I loaded up the big kiln with all my greenware, tidying up and sanding as I went. Another job that takes longer than it should! It is always worth it at this stage though as it's much easier to clean up BEFORE it's fired! I have spent many hours with the stilt stone and sandpaper having loaded my kiln in a hurry!

In the afternoon I was sorting out hundreds of card tiles. They are quite mischievous, No matter how careful I am counting when I make them I always end up with one short....a bit like the spoon in the bottom of the sink thing! What's that all about?

Finally when my head was sore from contemplating the various colour combinations a wee laddie can wear I left them to dry. I will make them up tomorrow!
