Layers of Earth

Layers of earth I've seen on the sides of mountains inspired me to brush underglazes and red clay slip on this curved tower. The lightest colors are a sandy rose and pale gray underglaze. I can't wait to see how this one fires. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  1. I love it...very similiar to some pieces I've done of about the same shape, with geological type finish. I think earth should sometimes look earthy!

  6. Very nice, erosion can be very inspiring. That's what has helped to influence Nick Joerling's latest works so why not you too?

  11. Hello Linda-I am catching up on your posts. Have you been to Death Valley or Coral Reef? I just love the pink sands one finds in both places. Your towers look very much like those bluffs.

  12. Hi Charlene, thanks, yes I have been to Death Valley many times and lots of other deserts too. Don't know about Coral Reef, another desert I like is the Anza Borrego desert.
