Rainbow Belly MugRed/white clay mix; noxema blue glaze on upper outer part and some inner areas, overlayed with Randy's Red glaze over entire piece; 4" diameter and 6" tall
Gift to the collection of Mr. J Mullally of Seattle
This was a mug I made hoping to add a lot of texture. before I cut it off the wheel I used a small ridged wood tool to make the ridges on the belly of the mug. I like how that effect came out, will definitely do again.


With the glazing, I had done a little experiment on a flat test plate where I put this blue in certain parts and then covered

the whole thing in red - it formed mostly red with some yellow and faint blue. I tried that effect here and got something even MORE interesting. Looks like the blue is retained on a vertical surface and the red forms yellow crystals at the intersection. The red also got VERY red on the interior of the piece since less oxygen got to that part and the red becomes redder under reduction circumstances.
