It's been lovely and warm the last few days..still a bit chilly first thing in the morning but I can't complain. Don't you find a good dose of sunshine really increases one's creativity and energy no end? I had a sudden creative spurt this week and I put it down to the sun causing endorphins to swirl around in my brain. Well, that's my theory, anyway.
A few of the things I'm working on at the moment:
 |
| Large tea bowl in pink stoneware. |
 |
| A bit of fun: "tortoise" coffee bowl |
 |
| Texture experiment on two inch tall vase |
 |
| Texture experiment on 4 inch vase |
 |
| Yunomi 4.5 inches tall |
I like your experiments on textures. They look like rocks. Some Japanese use very coarse clay to get rough textures. Your tortoise bowl made me smile! : )
ReplyDeleteHi, thank you for your kind comment. I would like to fire these rough textured pots in a wood kiln, with plenty of wood ash. :)
DeleteThe pink stoneware tea bowl is a very lovely piece!
ReplyDeleteHi Maria, thank you so much! I hope I can fire it nicely.
DeleteI love the look of natural clay, sweet turtle.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda, the turtle was one of those things that just happened on the spur of the moment. :) Me too, I often wish I could keep that look after firing.
Deletethe tortoise coffee bowl---yes!
ReplyDeleteand the pink stoneware tea bowl elegant, but earthy.....nice....
Thanks so much, Charlene. I had so many nice comments today, must be the sunshine effect. :)
