Throwback Thursday

A lidded tall jar in stoneware.  Mexico glaze, wiped thin for burnishing marks. 13"

Simple serving dishes

A pair of serving dishes. 

A home made loaf of bread fits just right on this one.

I thought of cookies, cupcakes, candy...???

I showed some zucchini-cranberry bread at two functions this weekend on the low piece.  I love how the turquoise sets off the colors of food.

The glaze?  Our studio's selections of Mexico with Celadon over it.  Just poured over, or dipped in, not sure which way they were done.

Isn't it nice how the lace imprints have the breaking color from the glaze?  I was pleasantly surprised that something this simple could look so elegant.

And the best part of this is that beginners can make it.  A clay camp had lots of folks copying my idea a few weeks ago. Always glad to share.

What's orange and turquoise?

Plate is 10 inches, sponged Mexico glaze and sponged Eggshell, on raku clay.  The iron really turns it orange (also eggshell glaze when it's thin is orange)

Platter is 12 inches.

I've been thinking about new things to make.  In the middle of the night whenever I can't sleep, I think, what about making computer faced people, calling them screen heads?  Then I think, it's probably been done, how about iPhone faced people?

Well, I let most of these forms of inspiration go right back to wherever they came from.  I don't make very good figures.  But I will make some more shrines.  I cut out five more trees today, and the little bases and backs for more tree honoring shrines.
