Newish works



I love how the glazes flowed on this one:

The landscape plates are fun.  In this one, I imagine we are looking landward from a boat in the water:

This squared bowl is currently most favored pot - closer to the more elegant and more voluptuous  look I crave - everything about it just worked - from the shape of the bowl to how the glaze flowed in the kiln:

And here are some - not elegant but pretty - fruit/serving bowls in the same series:


I also did a bowl using some brown clay rather than the white stoneware that I typically use - the glazes are the same, but you can see how the manganese in the brown clay reacted with the glazes, which gave the pot a beautiful speckled look - the dark blue (either Croc blue or Pam's blue) kind of lost it's mojo on the brown clay - not as successful as it is on the white stoneware:

So, that's it - more coming soon...
