Not bad for my first go... I would like for the lid on this to fit better.
It's cool to see the way the different glazes layered on top of each other settled into the texture.
This is probably the nicest bowl I've made yet. I love it's roundness; and unlike my first 25 bowls, this one doesn't weigh a hundred pounds! Hahaha!
| I have to keep this bowl because Oakley decorated the inside of it. He used a ton of under glazes on it, and then we put the green on top. So Cool! |
I had some fun with texture. I love holding a warm mug with some texture!
This is the back of the same mug....
This was a surprise for me. The clear glaze was SO chunky going on, and I was told it didn't look good over this color of clay.... I really didn't know what to expect.
More fun with texture!
The other nice surprise, was that the clay turned a nice deep red! It started out chocolate brown, and I was shocked when it turned Orange after the bisque fire, (and not in a good way). Phew! Now it's beautiful!
Hope you enjoyed checking out some pics from my first batch!
Congratz on your first kiln load Megz! I can't wait to see all of your future work too! Love yah!
