One a Day in May - Day 11 - Planning

I was already in bed last night before I stopped long enough to do anything creative.  The electrician hooked up the plug for my kiln yesterday so I did some planning in my sketchbook for some small projects. 

Sketches for slab built soap dish and tea light candle holder.
To start with I'm going to create some pieces to compliment some of what I already do - soap dishes for my handmade soaps and candle holders for my pure beeswax candles.  I don't have a wheel yet so I'll be hand building all my pottery.

Woohoo! I have my kiln!

My new kiln has arrived along with a scrumptious array of clay and glazes!  I'm so excited but I have to wait until I can get an electrician to wire a new breaker and plug for it on my back porch.  The other option is to get rid of my kitchen stove and use that one since I don't like to cook much anyway.  But just in case, does anyone have a clue what cone I would fire a roast to?
