So fun to see all the jungle gems! I love your method to fire to 5 with stoneware inside, then 04 for the effects! I like the super bold ones you did, the firecracker, the monet with red, the jazz notes with blue, such good juicy combos! Great opening!
Hi Nat 👋 so great to see you and to hear Trace too, hope she gets well soon❤ well what can I say you blew my mind with your coordination colours, I would never have thought that I would like those brights but I absolutely love them😊 you really picked out such gorgeous colours. They look so warm and vibrant especially the ones with marigold liners and oh the tangent, I thought I was moving away from celedons now I want them again😅 The one you dis with the power turquoise and the purple ( sorry I don't know jungle jems names) I have just done almost the exact same but with the mayco passionflower on a piece at my community kiln, I love yours but think mine may not be great as I honeydew fluxes the top of it, think it might be a mess😂 yours looks great without the run. Thankyou so much for the shout outs, yes those butterflies are so thin but amazing when they work. What a great start to my day finding your video, I want to go play clay now😊 lots of love to you, Julia xx
Hey Julia!!! Oh how I love turquoise n purple! If you love it try smokey Merlot over power turquoise it’s Devine! Thankyou for the silicone mold idea I have many more to come! Flowers too. Can’t wait to see yr next unload. Loads of love from down under xx
@@mudmagic407 isn’t that strange how things do that! Especially in the jillion. Maybe you accidentally put an extra coat on somewhere? It’s 70 here in Iowa today and I was able to get kiln wash on all of my new FLAT kiln shelves! This will be so much easier to stack the kiln now! Hahaha
oh my gosh, I love the blooming blue and poppy fields mugs, those are so pretty! That was so much fun :)...thanks for sharing the "how to" process and results!!
I’m soo sorry for taking so long to leave a comment I saw this last week! Sooo many beauties in here! I love the idea of doing the jungle hems after the fact! What a great idea. I’ve never used them before but have seen a few of your videos with them and I’m very interested, but knowing they really melt at ^6 I was a little deterred. So thanks for this!! Hey Trace!! You really are like Charlie in this vide🤭hope you feel better soon!! Sending healing vibes your way! 😘
I can’t believe Tracy is in the hospital!! Prayers your way Tracy!! Nat I can’t believe this is an entire kiln load of jungle gems!! And the way you fire the JG is so amazing!! After the pots were glaze fired was it hard to get the JG to dry since it was already vitrified?
Hey Michele! Not too bad I think because the clay was bare so it was rough for the glaze to attach to. Still took longer for the first coat to dry but nothing like when u reglaze over a glazed surface.
@@mudmagic407 Awsome. I haven’t been able to finish watching the video because ClayShare con is going on and I’ve been watching that the past several days but I’ll finish soon.
that was a great opening...i luvv jungle gems....the seafoam was the first i bought...soo pretty....and the chip and dip might not be as you invisioned it but it still looks great😉
Oh! I loved every one of these. I will be glazing today, so I need to check out which jungle gems I have. Am I correct, you glazed only the inside of the mugs for the 5.5 fire, and then only the outside for the third fire at 04/05? How many coats does it take of the jungle gems to get such pretty blooms? You have inspired me!
Thankyou so much! I used to use hair spray until I saw a vid by Cara at Amaco saying it’s all old wives tales n just apply glaze straight onto the glazed piece. The layers take ages to dry so you have to allow literally days to do it xx
Love your results! Such a nice way to make JG functional. So just to clarify, when you fired it to vitrify the clay, they only had stoneware glaze as the liners? The outsides were left bare? So the JGs were applied onto bare, vitrified clay? Thanks for sharing!
Hi therese thankyou for watching! I explain the process at the beginning but basically it’s a bisque then a glaze 5.5 then bisque again w jg on at 04 xx

Thanks Amanda yes I’m sooo happy with them! Will def be repeating them!
Get well soon Trace ❤❤❤❤
Thank you. I’m really missing being with Nat and you all for the kiln unloads.
You and Trace are very fun. I enjoy your videos. ❤

Wrightwood! How ironic, we are practically neighbors, (Valyermo). And we both are watching a magical kiln opening from the other side of the world. 😊
I'd know Monet's Pond anywhere. It's my favorite!
And sending good vibes to Trace!
Thanks for sending the good vibes. 😘

The butterfly cup is my favourite. Love it. 🥰
I’m so glad I could be remotely there for this amazing unload. Can’t wait to see them in person.
I can’t wait to show u n hug u!!! Xxxx
So great to see these examples of Jungle Gems at bisque cone. Thank you for sharing!
Wow!! Took a few days to finish watching. Amazing Pots! The blooming blues and poppy fields are my absolute favorites. So odd how that one really ran!
Hey Michele yeah very weird. Maybe because 4 coats the rest were 3 but the other 2 didn’t 🤷♀️

Hey star thanks for watching xx
You should be so proud! What a lovely kiln load! 🤤Now I need to find room in my glaze cabinet. 😏
Thankyou so much!! Yes the downside to watching kiln unloads hahaha. U won’t regret it tho xx

Hey Sarah Thankyou! Yes they r super fun n soooo pretty. They do tend to craze a bit at cone 5 too xx

Oh how addictive is clayshare con?? Love it!!
Thanks Michelle, I am definitely missing my pottery fix but grateful that I can still be involved through Nat.
ClayShare con couldn’t have come at a better time for me to watch. I have been so bored.
that was a great opening...i luvv jungle gems....the seafoam was the first i bought...soo pretty....and the chip and dip might not be as you invisioned it but it still looks great😉
Oh Thankyou so much that gives me hope for it xx

Oh Thankyou so much! Yes u r correct on the firing. 3 costs of each xx
Love your videos, they always make me smile.
Could I ask how you reglaze/refire? I find it hard to reglaze as it doesn’t adhere well after a firing.
Thankyou so much! I used to use hair spray until I saw a vid by Cara at Amaco saying it’s all old wives tales n just apply glaze straight onto the glazed piece. The layers take ages to dry so you have to allow literally days to do it xx

Hey Rachel Thankyou so much! Yes u r totally correct. Then back thru bisque once JG applied xx
Helicopter flyby during recording?
Are these jungle gems glazes fired at cone 5 or 05?
Hi therese thankyou for watching! I explain the process at the beginning but basically it’s a bisque then a glaze 5.5 then bisque again w jg on at 04 xx
