Artwork


My work lately has been very original. I made a pinch pot and splatter painted light blue and yellow all around it. However, when I brought it out of the kiln for the second time, It was all dripped in a certain way and it looked so awesome! I finished my flower, and that came out the exact color I wanted it to. I found my "character is your destiny" mug and painted it a deep blue. I also attempted making a blue-purple glaze. After it came out on my test pieces, I took other glazes like sargasso, indigo, black, and others, and painted them over the glaze. They came out all looking so different. I still need to put the clear glaze over it also. I am currently working on my chia pet, which I made as a running shoe. Due to technical problems, I cannot upload those pictures at the time. But, as a little preview, I made it as an "old-school" running shoe. It should work out pretty well. I'm excited for Raku week, and I still need to throw on the wheel. What I would really like to do this year, is make something that I can put glass at the bottom of.

  2. I really liked the piece at the top, it's really nice to see kind of a paint splatter instead of just painted. I think that the colors match very well together and it looks great.
