and more practice

I forgot why I started talking about practice.
I made 21 tiny pots off the hump...well several humps actually.
And what I finally was able to do (almost) is cut the pot off the hump with a smooth even bottom.

When I started, it was lopsided, and needed a lot of trimming.  What!  As much work as making a full size vase, center and trim each little darling.  And you can't sell anything less than 2 inches high for anywhere more than $10.

Then I found even those with skinny necks were hard to trim, unless I threw a chuck that it would stand inside.  So I figured out a short cut...using the rasp that leaves a bit of texture, but is quick enough to take that extra clay off the bottom sides.

Glaze to left is a combo with first being dipped in Floating Blue, then in Raspberry.  The one to the right starts with Floating Blue, then Clear to get a mottled blue effect.  Green in front is Matt Bronze Green on the right, and Glossy Green on the left.  All of these tiny pots were with Little Loafer's clay.

Another favorite glaze combo...these three greenish vases were first dipped in Glossy Green, then into Satin White.  Love the runny mottled mix that comes out!
