Holiday Sale!
Before I get to the (hopefully) resolution of my element dilemma, I wanted to share that from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, you can get 10% off anything in my Etsy shop! Just use the coupon code Turkey10 during checkout!
Okay, on to business. So in lieu of spending $60 per element, when I know that my other elements will probably be failing soon, as well, my wonderful (and handy) hubby and I learned how to heat, twist, and connect pieces of my existing elements together to create a (for now) working element. It took a few hours longer than I had wanted, but in the end, if it saves me $240 for a little while, then it'll work for now.
Eventually (maybe in the summer?) I'd like to convert the kiln to gas, which will not only save money in the long haul, but will allow for experiments in reduction firing, raku, and possibly soda/salt firings.
I also have narrowed down some ideas for both my shop, as well as the medieval faire, so now all I need is some free time - HA!
