I haven't posted any of my newer creations lately, so here are some of my favorites.
This large mixing or serving bowl is She's a Bleeder Red with a layer of my Fabulous Yellow on top. This glaze mixture is definately my favorite. I did most of my work last year in these colors.
This is a smaller mixing or serving bowl with Stary Night on top of the red instead of yellow, it's a more subtle effect and it brings out certain shades of purple and green in the red that I really like. The only bad thing about She's a Bleeder Red, is that sometimes, if the oxygen levels in the kiln aren't perfect, it can turn things blue, gray, or green.
This is a set of dishes that I made on a Jigger (that's a tool that attaches to the wheel head and when you pull down the arm it squishes out the clay onto a plaster mold so everything is exactly the same). I think it's cheating, so I only made these dishes for me to use at home. Not to sell. The dishes turned out great and they're thin enough to where we could even glaze the bottoms. The one on the bottom right is one that, even though they were all run through the kiln at the same time, on the same shelf as one of the other ones, turned green and blue. It's the outcast plate, but I love it just the same.
This is a Whistle that I made while helping Blaine teach a pottery class last summer to a group of high school kids deciding on what they wanted to do in college. Just a plain whistle would be boring, so we made them into elephants. We also made Hairy Mammoth banks for the Museum's Mammoth Days Fair last summer, however mine sold before I got a picture of him. :(
These are a couple of Toothbrush/Toothpaste Holders. Kids love them, and it keeps the toothbrushes off the yucky cupboard and floors. The one on the left is Violent Blue with Stary Night and the red is, of course, She's a Bleeder with Fabulous Yellow.
This basic water pitcher is just a thin layer of She's a Bleeder. The glaze was thin enough that the natural color of the clay shines through from underneath the glaze.
These are the cups I made to go with my set of plates. I decided not to make them identical, since the plates aren't all the same either. Each cup has a raised Bumble Bee on it, and are glazed in She's a Bleeder and Fabulous Yellow.
This is one of my large turkey platters. It's approximately 16 inches across and glazed in different thicknesses of Fabulous Yellow. When this glaze is thinner, it goes a natural brown which I love.
I have a few more pieces at my parent's house I haven't gotten pictures of yet, so I'll take pictures while I'm down this weekend and post them soon.
Until then,
Pinky
