You've reminded me of the delphiniums that grew in many folks gardens when I lived near Mt. Lassen, they are so delicate looking yet so hardy of a flower.<br /><br />Hi Suzi, thanks, I have made the terra sig before the same way but the Florida clay doesn't adhere to the pots very well, too sandy, maybe there isn't enough clay in it. It fires a nice orange color without glaze over it, I think I'll do some test tiles to see what come up with, maybe some test bowls in case it runs. Ha.<br /><br />Hi Barbara, thanks, check out the next post. I decided to use some other clay I had for the slip deco.<br /><br />HiLinda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-45538490364691663302012-08-12T09:21:54.561-04:002012-08-12T09:21:54.561-04:00Another interesting pot!

Once it is slaked I beat the crap out of it with a clay dedicated immersion blender. I then set it aside until it separates into three distinct layers. The top is clear water; the middle is fine particulates; the bottom is all the other stuff. You want the middle layer. I draw the water off with a sponge and turkey baster and carefully scoop the middle part into a container. I generally sieve it before using. This is what works for me. I know there are some good terra sig recipes out in the world.<br /><br />Congratulations on sales....<i>always</i> a good thing!smartcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430370214403895826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-81380729756996865392012-08-12T08:31:43.249-04:002012-08-12T08:31:43.249-04:00It's so fun to see and hear about your process...It's so fun to see and hear about your process of creation...and the questions you consider.
