Today, or possibly tonight (it's still cooled only to around 550 F), I'll be opening another mixed kiln load, but I'm moving in the right direction: almost all of this load is bisque, and only a handful of glazed pieces. I think by the next firing, I can have solid one or the other loads.
The kiln yesterday before I started firing. Only these few pieces on top are glazed. It's not a very full kiln, but I have a lot of oddly shaped pieces that are going to need their own kiln when I have enough of them.
Later (next day) Oops! I forgot to photograph the kiln when I opened it, but all came out well, and I have a lot of underglaze painting to do now!!
Included in the few glazed pieces are some really cute ones, in my humble opinion. I've been doing a few smaller pieces as I think I've already mentioned, and among them are some smaller wall-hanging fish that can be hung either vertically or horizontally. I can imagine how nice a grouping of them on a wall would be. And, of course, as usual, each piece is unique.
Remember, if you ever have any questions about any part of my technique or materials (such as clay, underglazes, etc.) that I use, I'll be happy to answer them. Just drop a comment in the posting.
And if you ever want to see any of my works, they're all at Etsy (except for the two galleries below).

My works are also available at Fine Lines Gallery in Sister Bay, WI, and at Nash Gallery in Hilton Head, SC.
And, one final thing: I no longer do paintings, but prints of my paintings are still available at FineArtAmerica, https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/dottie-dracos/shop. I get a small commission when one sells.
