Bowls etc. and Celadon Recipes

Here was part of dinner earlier this week.  Those cheese puffs are the ones from Earth Fare.  Did a bunch of etching on bowls out on my screened in porch.  The teabowl of mine is one that I can't imagine parting with.  
 Made some deeper bowls today.  These are two 1 3/4 to 2 pound ones, I think that's the weight of them.  I'm liking the deeper and rounder shape.  Will see what the design ends up on these.
Here was one of my early attempts at a birdfeeder.  Simple- shino-covered.  The squirrels still like to crawl up the wire pole to get the birdseed.  They're relentless.  Some cooking oil deters them for awhile.

Tomorrow I'm headed to Durham for coffee with a friend and then will stop by Claymakers.  Will pick up a couple dry glaze materials.  While I've been putting it off, this weekend- this weekend, I will definitely mix some dry glazes.  It's just tough and exhausting with the humidity.  Don't have much energy to do anything in the heat.  Yet, 90 is better than 100 and it's only supposed to be 90 this weekend.  :)

Oh, and celadons.  Any cone 6 celadon recipes to share or even blue ones?  ?  I'm definitely interested...
Thanks for reading!
