ceramic.. as in they WILL be fired after glazing ...

The route I am going they fire the greenware first, which then makes the item into Bisque. then you put on your glaze, and it is fired a second time to melt it in and flow over the Bisque.

I think I have that right.. I know they always talk about firing to a certain CONE but I really don't claim to have that much knowledge on what that exactly means.

I understand it as I own 2 kilns and you explained it real good.

I've always liked your rock markers, and these will show up nicely, too. When I first started gardening I made a few rock markers, but I have to rake so I quickly learned that they're impractical for me. I also don't know how yours don't get buried in mulch. But I picture you have a neat and tidy garden, unlike mine, which is a bit more on the wild side. ...Now I know what you meant in your other post about taking a break from glazing. :)

Your 'Powder Blue' is great, LW!

Don, I have a feeling its finally going to jump this year, It went from two to four eyes last year, and the leaves were bigger as well. with the long easy fall, lots of moisture all year.. it should be NICE this year.

Well I have them back from the firing, They aren't quite perfect but I am happy with them.. It will be interesting to see how they do in the garden..

Those look really nice, Leafwatcher! by the way, I am ordering a Brother Stefan too :-)

I resisted the Brother Stephan plant for a few years... But every time you see a picture of an adult one you think "Why don't I have that?"

Just remember that it will be slow to start. Mine had just one stem for THREE YEARS!! I do like it now though.

Do the markers have enough weight to them to stay put?

I think they weigh about half a pound each....
