Update on last load...

So here are a few close ups and tests from my last kiln opening.

This is a handbuilt vase with Iron Red on the exterior that was wiped down. So the surface has an unfinished feel to it. Gun Metal Green was brushed close to the rim on the inside. Then Shino was poured in and out of the interior. The rim was dipped in Shino. Lastly Standard Ceramic Creme was brushed along he rim. The vase is pretty tall, close to 18".



The pitcher had Mayco's Black Walnut on the handle and pinched part on top. The rim was brushed with Gun Metal Green. Wax resist was applied on the Black Walnut. Then the whole piece was finished with Shino.


Here is a new combination I tried on a garlic grater. It's Coyote's Key Lime, with Mayco's Black Walnut. I've had Key Lime for awhile and wasn't quite sure about it.... But now I think it's pretty cool! It has a nice result overlapped with the Black Walnut. I will be trying this combo again. It's a nice summer colour, bright and cheerful... Like me! ( just kidding.... Kinda)




Ok... Here is a Test tile.... It is heavenly! Top was dipped in Iron Red, then brushed with Gun Metal Green, then dipped in Creme. Boy it runs, but the movement in colours is to die for! Love it!
