The Dragon Wreath I talked about here is finished! Amazingly, it made it through both firings-- I had been worried because the slip casting was difficult to remove from the mold, I had to repair some tearing, and because of all the applied scales and horns. But here it is, ready to breathe fire on someone's wall!

There is one more Dragon Wreath to complete for the show. I will be finishing it in a similar manner, though I am trying a glaze combination I tested during the last firing that will give the fire some orange highlights. I have definitely learned my lesson with testing glaze combinations before using them on finished work, and try to include a few tests with every firing.
