I've had some glazing ideas rattling around in my head for a while and was really itching to get them out and into the world, so I took advantage of a window of good weather to get a raku firing in. Of course, the final piece is never the same as the picture in my mind, but that's part of what draws me to raku. The ideas themselves worked out, and I'm very happy with the results. I'm looking forward to developing these ideas further in future works. Mixing a few underglaze colors together to create a specialized palette was especially successful this time around, and you can bet I'll be doing more of that.
