2 more vases torn and reassembled

The glaze breaks delightfully over the torn construction

Side 2 of round vase where 2 red beads show at bottom

The glaze is a comination of glossy green first, then satin white appllied over it.

Those little vases

Remember my nuevo primitive vases?  (See this blog post for another example)
Here are a couple from the latest batch.

The red is Mayco Stroke and Coat. Which is then waxed when I wax the bottom of the vase.  Dipped once in celadon (studio glaze).  The very top edge is then dipped into plum (studio glaze).

Clay is a recycled mix, primarily speckled brownstone.  All fired cone 5-6.  These today are completely hand crafted without using the extruder for any parts...though I do admit to rolling the pieces of slab through a slab roller!  I make a slab and then tear pieces off of it, and then adhere them to the base, building up of course until the desired height is reached.

A vase is needed

When you pick a pretty flower...

...you need a nice little bud vase to put it in.

This is one of my Nuevo Primitive vases.  They are made with components which were made in a clay extruder.  Fired to cone 5-6, with Mayco stroke and coat glazes, and the bare clay was given a bit of red iron oxide wash before firing.  They are glazed inside and have little furniture protection pads on the bottoms.  To see the whole collection, just email me, blackmtnbarb@gmail.com
