I decided to take some newer pottery to the market yesterday. Had a lot of nice compliments. And someone bought a yarn bowl! I love this yellow. I've never used it before. I bought some half and half clay this time, so all the glazes will look totally different, without the specks. A more shiny smooth finish.
I really like doing these flowers. This is another yarn bowl. (Sorry it came up twice.)
And some taller mugs finally. I have 4 of these. And a little mixing bowl with a handle and spout.
These are all for sale, if anyone is interested.

Dyeing wool with comfrey leaves.
Today, I dyed some of Annabelle's wool. It was about 200 grams. A friend gave me some comfrey leaves Tuesday and I picked a bunch from my own. I simmered them for several hours while I went to town. Got back and got the wool ready.
And this is the result. It looks yellow here, but it's not. It's a dull green color. I am not very impressed with it. I might be later after it's dried. Or after it's spun. We'll see.
(I put some of the white alpaca fiber next to the wool so you can see how it's not white any more. But it's not yellow.)
