Another Choice! This one an extra. Meh.
This is a small wheel-thrown plate, 3/4" tall and 4 1/2" wide. It has no foot, and the rim is raised from the inner floor a little less than half an inch. It is glazed with Mystery, which in this piece has turned out a dark, shadowy green, thin and pale along the rim's edge. The simple glaze goes well with the equally simple form. Blasted iPod... *Starts looking under r

Is, it. Say what I, know I not. Do what I, unknown. This is a wheel-thrown Bowl 2" tall by 5" wide. With a short, steep slope to the base, which sports a neat, shallow footring, the shape of this bowl draws the eye, with the rim pulled out at seven points to make an almost petal-like hexagon. The glaze is Turquoise mixed with what I believe is Sand, which has resulted in a largely blue-tinted forest green interspersed with patches and streaks of a grainy multi-hued blue. It sits highly unevenly on the piece, with the clay below easily showing through the common thin spots. The semi-complex final glaze shows off the elegantly simple shape of the piece. Thought you write I paragraph the whole this like, you not did? Was and thought, silly I...   I'm so creative with my titles, aren't I?
This is a wheel-thrown plate 1/2" tall by 8 1/2" wide. Though evenly round about the rim, it dips down before bulging up at the center; a slight outer lip and lack of a footring complete this piece. The glaze is Turquoise and I believe Sand, which has created a swirled greenish-blue matt finish, and is predominantly thick with a few spots in the center where the glaze popped to leave holes. A handful of spots along the rim are bald of glaze, and the coat halts halfway between the rim and the base down the sides. The dark glaze, with its alternating green and blue hues swirled together, accentuates the otherwise simple shape, and makes what might be an unattractively-shaped piece interesting. Yet again, pictures to come. Here, iPod. Heeee Aaaaand here we go! Second Theme!
This is my second Theme Choice, a wheel-thrown bowl measuring 2" tall by 5" wide. It slopes steeply to a very narrow base, with a footring that remains completely flat on the bottom; the lip was bumped while the piece was still wet, making the body and rim slightly flat and raised on one side. The glaze is Shadow Green, with both the inner and outer surfaces fading from thin and pale at the rim to thick and dark down towards the base. A spot of white shows through in one spot above the footring, the glaze otherwise pooling along the edge of the foot and in one place dripped to almost touch the floor. The dynamics of the glaze complement the simple form, to create a simple yet elegant look. Other than that bump on the side, I'm really happy with how this one turned out! ~Another one bites the dust, YEAH!~ I know I'm strange. Don't judge me. Presenting my first Theme Choice!
This is my first Theme Choice, a tall wheel-thrown cylinder measuring 3 1/2" tall by 3" wide. It is mildly lopsided, with an uneven rim marred by two shallow cracks and a narrowed base that flares out slightly into a short, wide-based footring. The glaze is Shadow Green with thicker, darker drips and splotches on the outer surface that bleed onto the footring, while the inside fades quickly from thin and pale at the rim to thick and almost black in the bottom. The light-dark contrast on the outside prompts a closer look, while the transition from pale to dark accentuates the inner depth of the piece. I hope to get some good use out of this guy. The mouth's too uneven to cover for tea, but oh well. Next time I'll make sure it's even, AND that I add a handle before bisquing >.> Pictures to come once I find my iPod. | Kelsie G.Nothing fancy. Right. Can-do. One thing to know about thine author? I suck at consistent blogging. Or journaling. Whatever you want to call it, I've never been good at it. Le sigh. ArchivesJanuary 2011 Categories |
