Hey guys… I can’t quite believe I’m typing this…
I’ve got a kiln opening on YouTube tonight 🥹💛 Honestly… it felt SO strange filming it. I was stood there thinking “how do I even do this again?!” 😅 I felt really anxious beforehand, completely rusty, and at times my words just would not come out how they normally do. There are definitely moments where I’m like… who is this woman and what is she trying to say 😂 So yes… presentation-wise it might be my most “rusty Jeanette” video to date… BUT thankfully I was really happy with what came out of the kiln, which is the main thing! I genuinely have no idea what the algorithm is going to do with it after being away for so long — it might just quietly disappear into the YouTube abyss — but I wanted to share it with you all because you’ve been such a huge part of this journey. Being on the other side of everything now still feels surreal. It’s definitely shifted my mindset, and I’m just so, so grateful — for my family, for this community, and for being able to be back in the studio doing what I love again 💛 The video will be available to watch at 6pm UK time — I’ll pop a link below that should show it in your own timezone (thank you Gwen for that little gem!) Hope it works! <t:1776272400:F> And… if you do fancy giving the algorithm a little nudge for me, a like/comment on the video would mean the world 💛And if anyone happens to have any Hypes left and feels like using one… I think it helps?! 😂 (still figuring that one out!) ** Have any of you ever had that “first time back” feeling after a break? It really threw me! ** Big love to you all https://youtu.be/yttFNeltXRU?si=ENTGUDlAeZsLuuYQ

That’s brilliant Jeanette 😊 We have missed your kiln loads and getting back into the swing of YouTube…
Does Obsidian break on texture?
I have a request for a black sweater mug and I'm wondering if anyone here can show me obsidian on texture. I'm wondering if it breaks nicely. also if you have another black glaze that breaks nicely please leave the name of the glaze and a picture. Thank you for any help you can give me.

@Mary Carolyn ooh yes I watched that, for some reason I thought it was cosmic tea dust !! 😊 and I think @Linda Robertson uses black Aventurine 😊

@Linda Robertson wonderful Linda, have you used it on any texture, as I was suggesting to @Janice Harmon it might be much better than obsidian? xx

Lovely Linda 💕 Having that belief in yourself keeps you strong and your determination to master this amazing hobby that we all have makes everyday special. I have type 1 diabetes which is a struggle, but I can’t let that fold me back, staying positive is a real healing mechanism. ❤️

@Hollysan Roques thank you 🙏 the first combo is Mayco muddy waters and Mayco light flux and the second is Mayco winter wood and light flux with Amaco ancient copper on Instagram, both combos were both from Kim & Todd Undseth 😊 They are so clever with all their colour combinations.
My first ever lustre fire!!!
Join me for the big reveal! I just posted the video a few minutes ago. https://youtu.be/QVQ65n5l_G0 It's a short video, just one kiln shelf, but overall I'm happy. Some things did not work as intended though.

Wow Pat that’s incredible 😍 The plant’s look amazing, I haven’t tried a lustre firing but that has inspired me to do so 😊
