Raku Buttons

We finally had a warm day yesterday in central OH.  Warm enough to raku!  I discovered this winter that cold temps dull the glaze colors, just in the short trip from the raku kiln to the smoking pot.

Here are some beautiful buttons that I glazed and raku fired yesterday afternoon.

    Those turned out great. Really beautiful raku! The flowers are my favorites. Stunning combination of color and design.
