From the Sale... Part 4: Set of Four Electricity Bowls

Set of 4 Electricity Bowls

One saturday I decided I wanted to make a set of bowls that actually MATCHED. A terrific feat, to be sure. In the morning, I threw the bowls. I moved on to something else while they hardened, and then I trimmed them at the end of the day. I think these are the only things I've ever really made completely in one day! They came out SO similar, I was very proud of them. They stacked alright, though next time I would make the curve more severe so that they stacked more closely.

I used a favorite combination - mocha brown glaze with some hobbit hazel. I dipped each bowl's rim about 0.5 to 1.5" deep in the hobbit glaze, doing each quarter of the rim so that it would be slightly uneven. I call these my "electricity" bowls because the hobbit formed these neat electric-blue squiggles around the rim inside and out.

Of course, these were the first things to sell at the sale. Yay for selling stuff!
