August 07 (Part DEUX)

Just got some more stuff back from the glaze kiln (yaaaaay) - two lidded jars and 3 plates. Here is one of the jars (i need better light than this cloudy fall sky will provide to photograph the other.) The 3 plates are of a set of 4, so pics will wait until I have them all










Pink Bird Matte Lidded Jar; white/red mix clay, rasberry glaze layered over bird matte orange; 4" wide by 5" tall
This was the first lidded item I made. Lids are hard! This one is actually a little too small for the piece, but it does the job well enough considering all I'm putting in it are cotton balls. I really like the effect of these glazes... the first layer is a matte orange color and then I layered a really intense pink on it, so I love that it came out all spotty and only a little pink. For some reason the lid part got what looks like a thinner layer of the pink, so I'll have to be more careful next time. I just glazed a vase in a similar combination so maybe that will come out more clean
