White clay for vases with flowers

Make shapes that suggest something else is happening, not just a cylinder.  Then add some painted flowers.





I don't mind the splash of uncontrolled glaze drizzling down over the very controlled flowers.  What do you think?

Today's quote:


“Who would deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?” ― D.T. Suzuki

That upside down bowl

Remember when I mentioned a bowl almost collapsed, but by hanging it upside down for a couple of hours, it was able to survive? (See my blog HERE)

I finished it this week.  And it's smaller sister.

The bee on blue flower theme is one I'm playing with these days.


And since size is also what I'm working on, here they are with the ruller.



Then again another attempt also had to hang upside down.  It's still hanging as of this writing.  I'm not using enough clay, one friend has told me.  Yep. Center down another pound and see what happens!  It's all a learning experience!

Today's Quote:

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
