These would probably sell well at and craft market. If you leave the ends open you could put a tiny note in them and give them as gifts of encouragement. I’m going to make some of these for gifts. Thanks for sharing your tips that you learned while making these.
Absolutely love this idea :D, I know a ceramic artist who makes romantic pieces for weddings, where the couples write notes and she puts them inside the ceramic envelope, so now have their words almost symbolically burnt into the piece :0, something like that could be cool with these, but amazing work none the less!!
You can use the fortune cookies for test tiles for your glaze testing and glaze combinations. You can paint on the one half like you stated you liked, then write on the bottom with an underglaze pencil of what it is or a number to match to a chart of what the glaze is.
I made some today in my porcelain class and oh dear - it was difficult, so so difficult. I really home mine aren't going to crack. My mission was also to really have a hole in the centre to be able to put a piece of paper in there. Not sure if it will work or not. But hopefully I will at least have enough for Christmas 🙈
@@burntclay I saw them yesterday after the first bisque firing - so cute and all of them made it. And the paper was also a success - as in: I am able to put in a tiny note. I painted and clear-glazed the top. I'm super nervous they will get stuck to the kiln, but I am hopeful that at least half of them will make it ☺️. Note: I did end up with cracks in the bone drying process. It was a lot of work to fix those.
@@lianevoelker9845 That’s great! I only did top half glazed and didn’t have any issues with any sticking to the kiln (ok fine, one did but it was cause I didn’t carefully check that the part it rested on didn’t have glaze on it, and i just sanded that part off). The cracking issue is my least favorite part, and yes, so much work which is why I haven’t been able to produce a whole lot more. It felt like it required constant babying to address the cracks.
It’s all chemistry which I don’t fully understand. But yea, the firing changes the chemical composition, including driving out all of the water from the clay. The lack of water may be a big part of it but don’t quote me on that.
I know they’re ceramic but they look really delicious

These are gorgeous! I love the half golden ones 😍 Definitely a lovely avant-garde art piece for the living room 🥰
Haha! Thank you!

Amazing! How did you glaze them to be shiny with out them sticking to the kiln? So inspired hoping to try this project out!
I only glazed the top half, leaving the bottom half unglazed. This made it look a little unique, and also avoided any of them sticking to the kiln!
Hi! I absolutely love how the cookies turned out... would you be able to sell them? Or could you make a 50-quantity order?
Hi there. I do plan on selling some new tests I just made on my website and I’m trying to gear up to be able to make larger quantities.
this is super cool! how did they turn so white after being fired?
It’s all chemistry which I don’t fully understand. But yea, the firing changes the chemical composition, including driving out all of the water from the clay. The lack of water may be a big part of it but don’t quote me on that.
how you fire ones with glaze on both sides?
I only glazed on one side. not only did I like the half dipped look, but it also prevented sticking to the shelf.
Can I have one? :)
Maybe I ought to just sell them ;)
