Last Ceramics of the year!

... And for some reason, my iPod won't register on my computer. Which means no pictures. Darn it anyway >.<
I'll try again in a bit, and if it's still not working, I'll work on it tomorrow. Darn electronics...

By the way, the gibberish down there are measurements for a lidded mug I did. Just ignore it for now =P

4" W @ B, 5" 1/2 @ Handle, 3" T @ Lip, 3 1/2" @ Lid

{EDIT} Well, the iPod's connecting. It's just not registering the pictures, now. Wonderful, eh? I'd try it with another computer, but with it wigging out like this I'd rather not risk it being crazy and syncing without permission, and not being able to restore it again. So I'll get the pictures up when I can, but it might not be for a while >.<

Darn technology!

Three bowls, here. I'll have to get the pictures up when I get back from a fieldtrip on Saturday; they're on Mom's camera, and I can't access them at the moment, and the real things have been turned into the Art Show. I'll also add details later.

The first, and largest, wheel-thrown bowl is 6 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" tall. It has a wide bell shape with a lightly-flared lip, a pinch between body and base and a groove below that, forming a footring that leaves the base as flat as when it detached from the wheel. The base glaze is a thin coat of light powder-blue that emphasizes the natural texture from using fingers to pull the clay up while wet. A darker, more navy-blue was painted in a spiral shape on the inside, the ends meeting in the base's center; they continue down the outside of the bowl, more streaks branches off and winding down to the base in a pattern reminiscent of tiger-stripes.

The smallest wheel-thrown bowl is a mere 4 1/2" wide and just under 2" tall. The body is very well-rounded, with a slight flare in the lip and a pinched-in base and partial foot that leaves the bottom flat. The glaze is a light powder blue, with a darker forest-y green dripping heavily from the rim halfway down the walls, inside and out.

The last is a distinct bell-shape with a light flare at the lip and narrow base; it measures 4 1/2" wide by 3 1/4" tall. The glaze is, again, a light powder blue, this time with droplet-splatters of white and green that smear and drip down both the inner and outer walls.

A bowl... Thing.

Thrown on the wheel, this 9" wide by 1 /2" tall bowl has a drooped rim that creates a rippling effect around the body. A shallow footring adorning the curtained base is the only other structural feature of interest. The interior and part of the 'outer' drooped rim was brushed with several layers of Shadow Green, though it's difficult to tell with the smooth transition between watery rim and the dark bottom. The outer edge was brushed with Mystery, which resulted in a dark, greenish bark-brown; the underside entire was brushed lightly with Turquoise and came out watery-thin and patchy, contrasting sharply with the dark upper surfaces.
There is no real mistakes in art, and experimentation is the key of the day

A planterpot-bowl, thrown on the wheel and measuring about 6" wide by 4 1/2" tall, that comes up at a slight outward angle before flaring sharply into a wide-ledged lip. A shallow, scalloped footring that continues to carve out even sections of the base; four have been cut deeper to allow water to run out from under the pot after draining from the over-large hole in the central base. A crack formed within the kiln, adjacent to the area where the matt Turquoise glaze ran off one large and several smaller patches of the side; a large drop of glaze went far enough that it fused to the kiln shelf, and will require grinding.
As matt Turquoise rarely runs unless combined with another glaze, such just proves that glaze is unpredictable no matter how long you've worked with it and clay.

A large wheel-thrown planterpot-bowl, at a little over 7" wide and 4" tall. It has a fat bell shape that bellows out from a narrower base, with a slightly pulled-in neck that flares out again at the lip. A deep-set choke defines the footring from the body before it angles out and down again, with a scalloped edge that continues into uneven blade-shaped indentations in the base. Four are further carved out to serve as outflow channels for the water that would drain out of the over-large hole in the center of the base. The glaze is matt Turquoise, with two darker patches where the dippings overlapped; the footring and inner lip of the hold are clear, with a small splash of shadow-green from another project latched onto the side and bottom of the footring.

A wheel-thrown planterpot-bowl 7 1/2" wide by 4 1/2" tall, with an overlarge central hole in the base for drainage and a shallow footring with a scalloped edge, which continues on the bottom into spear-shaped indents; three have been further carved out to allow the water to flow out from under the pot. The glaze is a fairly even coat of matt Turquoise, with a couple dark streaks where dipping layers overlapped; the footring and inner lip of the hole are clear of glaze.
