This is my Set of Three. All are wheel-thrown bowls, measuring, from smallest to largest: 1" 1/4 tall by 4" 3/4 wide; 2" 1/2 tall by 4" 1/2 wide; and 1" 3/4 tall by 5" wide. The bodies spread quickly outwards from the inner bottoms, overshadowing the shallow, straight-cut footrings and smoothed-flat bases. Each were dipped in matte Turquoise glaze, with light Sand hand-brushed overtop on the inner surfaces, the rims, and down to just below the mouths. The result is reminiscent of drying oil or other liquid, with the Sand giving the Turquoise a shine and more blue-green hue than would otherwise be achieved at the inner bottom and 'drying', or changing to matte, as it moves up the sides towards the rim. In the bottoms, the glazes combined to create a deep blue with liberal lighter flecks throughout, creating an illusion of starry deep-space nebulae.
Here now is also an extra Choice project. Thrown on the wheel, it measures 1" 3/4 tall by 5" 1/2 wide. Flaring in a straight diagonal from the base, as would be seen in a wide cone, the rim is flattened at an angle rather than rounded, emphasizing the straight angles of the body in general. The base has a slight outer footring, rounding to a flat base with shallow blade-shaped indents around the edge pointing inwards towards the center. It was dipped in matte Turquoise and brushed over with light Sand on the inner surface, the rim and slightly down the outer body. resulting in a graduating matte-to-shiny from the rim down to the inner base. The bottom is a deep blue with much lighter 'dust' thickly clustered within it, creating the illusion of a star-strewn nebulae; the Sand glaze has given a more blue-green hue to much of the inner body.
