Welcome to my blogspot! I have a included a series of pictures that show the steps I use in making my Royal Sonic Chicken Family. In this series the first slide shows the RSC Bodies, tail sections, heads and stands.

Slide 1-Royal Sonic Chicken bodies, tail sections, heads and stands.

The second slide shows 2 RSC  bodies with head and tail sections attached. Also shown are additional bodies, heads, tail sections and stands that will be shown assembled in later photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slide 3 shows four RSC bodies, tail sections and heads attached to their stands. At this stage the the RSChickens are ready for the addition of wings, feathers, crowns and face features.

The fourth slide shows the fully assembled RSC King, Queen, Princess and Prince. 

The next step is to bisque fire the Royal Family. Then complete the process with glazing and glaze firing! Hope you enjoyed the series of slides on the process used to assemble the Sonic Chicken Royal Family.  Come back toward the end of June to see the finished Royal Fowls!!!

 

Hi All-I did a small kiln glaze firing over the week-end. See the photo above. The group photo shows 4 teacups I used to test a new glaze that I like. The glaze is Fracasa ash glaze. It gives a blue or green color depending on the colorants added to the base glaze. Let me know what you think?  There are three small 3"X4" (HxW) bowls in the back row along with a small oval thrown and re-shaped dish 1.5"X4"X7" (HxWxL) with blue glass filled center.You can see the pyrometric cones used on this shelf. Cone 4,5,6 are down and cone 7 is soft.

Above is a wall hanging planter. A customer ordered 6 of these planters. I made 8 but could only get 4 in the kiln at one time. I will fire the others this weekend. The cones on this shelf are all down. Meaning that this area of the kiln fired to cone 7.
