I tried Medieval Seran wrap for the first time. What fun. I have been experimenting with maiolica on tiny apothecary jars which are going to be largess. They are about 2 tbsp. capacity. However, I am filling them with whole spices or sesame salt rather than the Medieval spice mixes like the talented ayeshadream does.




I first decided the firing was a disappointment, then I decided it was a success. Now I think it was primarily promising, I tried a lot of different color combinations and I am going to know a little more of what to do next time. Many pieces in this firing went to the show I'm in at a local winery.


My most recent firing. The red is a commercial glaze but the rest of the glazes are my own. If you look carefully you can see the carving under the glaze.


and the nesting set.


Winery show, so there has to be goblets.


LJ isn't letting me upload any more photos, oh well.

sigh. You always leave me in the dust...lovely.

How do you make the medieval saran wrap?

*taps toe impatiently* I do not leave you in the dust. We just have different styles.

Dip linen in beeswax. It is amazing. I've shook them upside down with dry contents and they didn't move, and shook one with water in it and it didn't leak.
Plus it can be re-used.

I am *so* stealing that idea!

I think I got the information on it from Anne Marie.

"wax cloth" is indeed Deh Bomb. it works great for keeping bugs and dust out and I love that you cna just hold it over the fire to reshape it...I've got some pieces that are probably almost 20 years old!
