This is a pitcher I made, each panel is different and you can't see them all in these two pictures. My favorite is the back panel with the handle, the green and blue worked well together. The chaotic panel was an experiment, I had a plain white underglaze on it then a clear overglaze and then spilled some green on it so I added some green slashes which mixed with the white and clears in the kiln to create an interesting melting design. The sides you can't see are black with a fish-scale texture, and dark green with a curved line pattern.
This cup was origionally just a random quickly put together pinch cup but the glazing on it turned it into a piece I am kinda fond of. I can't quite place why it looks good. It is charcoal grey on the inside, and there are thin layers of the same grey sprayed over the outside and then midnight blue slashes along the scratches made with a spork. Spork art!
This bowl was the first piece I made this year. It's okay ... there are four different glazes in six different places, and you can't of course see them all with this picture. The outside is dipped partly in the same celadon color as the swirls on the inside, partly in the blue also from the inside, and then the rest painted with a glaze called waterfall which was a bit unpredictable and not uniform but it is interesting. The rim was gone over with a bronze glaze so the piece would at least have one solid color as a kind of organization.
This piece was my final last quarter, a "vase." I spent a lot of time on this piece, throwing the bottom on the wheel and then coiling up to form the neck. There is a very solid ice catcher at the bottom of the neck. Interior is light celadon with blue marks on the top rim, the base is a very thin coat of white which lends it a very earthy, sandy feel, with some redwood brown around the tree roots that didn't turn out as I wanted it to but is still nice. The lizard is an orangey-red color with a thin black coat added over his back and black claws. The tree is spearmint green with a little bit of redwood brown on it but you can't really tell, I wanted it to be darker but the brown didn't really show up over the green. The sky is three different shades of blue. I really like how this turned out, and damn it hits fat! ;)
There are much better pieces coming this quarter, as well as about half the ones from last quarter I didn't take pictures of (my favorite of those is a sculpted crown royal bag piggy bank).
