Euphorbia guiengola Transplanted

One of the regulars at the pottery studio I go to gave this plant to me. She didn't know the name so I told her I'd take it to the CSS meeting and find out what it was. The verdict was a unanimous Euphorbia guiengola. The common name is "String of Stars" Getting the load of pots back from the kiln, I had a bunch of transplanting coming my way - here is the plant in it's new pot. They are supposed to drop their leaves in the winter, so I'll likely transplant it again in late Spring once it has had a chance to develop more roots.

Kalanchoe luciae Getting Big

This was one of the first succulents I bought. It's been less than a year and this one has gotten pretty big. This has been a pleasure to grow - it is bug resistant, doesn't need much attention and grows pretty prolifically.

Repotted Fenestraria rhopalophylla

I've been holding off on repotting these two Baby Toes plants - waiting for the right pot. Here they are! I'll take some pictures of the second one and update the post - and here they are! (deja vu...)

Huernia zebrina Not a Six Petal

I transplanted the Huernia zebrina plant that has huge flowers in the new long pot. Oddly enough, the new flowers no longer have six petals (check the post from last week).

Glazed with Tan Matte

Here are the Tan Matte pots.

Glazed with Janet's Clear

On earthy colored clays, Janet's Clear doesn't show the blue hue it takes on in a good reduction. I still like it. Yes - that is an elephant

Glazed with Red 25

This glaze has a strong copper component and in a good reduction process, the red comes out fantastic. I had a coiled planter fired in Red 25 previously that turned out mostly gray - probably in a more central part of the kiln (where it did not go through the reduction). This was the single piece I glazed with Red 25 this go around. La just purchased a darn near translucent Haworthia this past week at our Cactus and Succulent Society meeting - this was the first of the new pots used. I'll take a better picture tomorrow in the sunlight.

Glazed with Bufo Satin Matte

These pieces were glazed with Bufo Satin Matte. This one piece also had a rim dip of Toshiko Orange - I didn't mix the accent glaze too well before dipping, so this doesn't show the characteristic running. This is the Banana Pot. This wider pot had the glaze pool towards the bottom - and with the reduction it took on the really nice blue hue. And some more pots. These were thinner layers that were painted on the clay body. And lastly - the small pot my wife calls the "Chicken Butt". The glaze clumped into an 'almost' fourth leg.

Pots with Mackenzie Celedon

Here are the pots glazed with Mackenzie Celedon. This one is made with slab formed Rod's Bod clay. I really like the look of the higher iron content of this clay. The other thing with this firing is there was a great reduction process and a high temperature spike (the instructor ran out of the wheel room because he forgot the kiln temperature was being driven up). I think the results were fantastic!!! Here is another. The other pieces glazed in celedon were teacups (and this is a succulent and pottery blog so no pics).
