I'm an archaeologist mom living in Iowa and apparently I love to make pottery.
My snow lady is finally done. She looks very pleased with herself.

So, these two mugs have the same glazes and fired to same temp in same kiln load. I can see that the mid-fire speckled clay body really showed through the eggplant. The other mug is Bmix-C6-10 and the glazes look more opaque.
