Well, the kilns are back in operation at LibertyTown. The bizarreness of these bowls was not caused by the misfire, rather it came from somewhere in my head.
I've made this odd type of bowl before and have had a request from a friend to revive the design!
They all have two faces. With assorted choices for your yarn to feed through, noses.....
mouths....
or the more traditional hook, or ear, whichever you prefer.
For those of you who are not knitters or crocheters, the hook allows you to easily remove your project before you finish.
The holes require you to cut your yarn to move on to something else.
This one is the only bowl that shows issues with the refire. These are all LibertyTown glazes and I am not familiar with their best application. The glaze blistered....and while that is not a preferred result, it does add a warty appearance to this bizarre "blue man" don't you think?
I am debating loading up a few of these into my Etsy Shop....if you see one you are interested in let me know and I will do just that!

These are just plain fun, very creative.
that is just what I was thinking- fun!
Thanks Linda and Meredith! Who says faces only belong on jugs. :)
These are so great! I would be looking for some local yarn shops to sell those in. You could also leave them unglazed and use stains, so many possibilities!
Thanks Tracey! I actually have a line of yarn bowls in the local yarn shop....I LOVE working with stains. But the glaze is so nice and smooth. No snagging. :)
Sorry to hear about kiln woes but thrilled to hear about new house and see pics of the front porch and a calm-ish Layla!! We are so much happier when the kids are calm , aren't we?
Your face yarn bowls are hysterical and you had better have a bunch ready for Fiber Festival!!! I know that you will be so happy to have your very own studio again and control of your own kiln!! Soon I hope!! Say hi to Beth S and Aileen for me - I miss them!
I love these! I cherish my yarn bowl from you and I think everyone should have one, but right now I have too much other stuff in my apartment to add to the pile of stuff....One day I'll get a "face" yarn bowl!
