2014-04-24 - Thursday - Tree cleanup and butter bells

When I left on Thursday morning a crew was already removing the fallen tree from yesterday.





When I came home, it was all cleared away and the wood was neatly stacked.  Now, it's time to get a fence estimate.





That night I decided to make some functional items for a change and threw some butter bells.  These pots allow you to keep your butter outside the refrigerator so it's more spreadable.  Just press a stick of butter up into the "bell" on the inside of the lid and put some water in the bottom half.  When the lid is put on the base, the water keeps the air away from the butter and room temperature keeps the butter spreadable.

Glaze choices await.

2010-07-03 Saturday - Studio time

I went to Clayworks on Saturday to make some small oil lamps.  They will have a ball wick holder and wicks and they remind me of candles.  I also made some yunomi and took a try at a butter bell.


Oil lamps, cups, and butter bell.
