new spools

Well I finally managed to get my new moulds finished at the end of last week, and I popped in to open them up yesterday and most of them are looking very good! There was one however, where the plaster didnt come away cleanly from the thread on the spool, so at some point Ill be trying to seal the thread a bit more and then re-pour the plaster.

I have also been after a high-firing clear matt glaze (for both the brooches and the spools) but the only commercially available is to Earthenware temperatures. I mixed up some test glazes from recipies I found on the net last week, but am yet to test them - no idea how they will turn out!

I hope you had a great weekend!

Cass.
