The photos don't show it, but the contrast between the black clay and the white slip or white craters is really great.<br /><br />Hi Mary, lunar eclipse, there are so many ways I can go with this technique.<br /><br />Hi Peter, thanks, yes every time I experiment, I get something great, I tried a previous experiment though and it didn't work, that will be up next. I think the trick is - can the experiments be repeated. I heard the saying about shino, "shino first or suffer the curse". I think glazes over shino are ok, but under not so sure.<br /><br />Hi Kitty, thanks, that must be why the place where I got them fired was asking how I did it, they must have wanted to do it too. I'm actually thinking of getting some more of this clay and making a few things just to try it.<br /><br />Hi Tracey, thanks I am a bit of a rebel from way back so I guess it comes out in my clay, and I suspect you are too, He He, but something good may come of it as you say.<br /><br />Hi Jewels, thanks, I like that one too, wouldn't it be neat on the front of a large wall tile? I have several ideas in mind.<br /><br />Hi Patti, thanks you can't appreciate the smoothness of this black clay in the photos, but it is very rich looking and lots of folks like it. I just love the richness of it especially with the white slip contrasting to emphasize it.<br /><br />Hi Lori, thanks, I really have to start cataloging all these ideas. I pride myself with a good memory, but I can see over time with so many pieces I may forget this littlel tidbits. The L with the star I had made up into a star and that is how I sign my pots, sometimes just with the stamp and sometimes with my name too. In post coming up I will show the back of a piece to show the stamp. I meant to do that some time ago but forgot. thanks for reminding me.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-7286763118749401772009-11-21T09:16:08.165-05:002009-11-21T09:16:08.165-05:00Love your little L* logo.

The first example looks just like what happened to a small glaze test I did with shino glaze over tenmoko, That blew white bubbles too!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-30260172648685400112009-11-21T03:50:32.161-05:002009-11-21T03:50:32.161-05:00Lunar eclispe of the MOON hehehehLunar eclispe of the MOON hehehehAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-14433056405029896552009-11-21T03:40:29.402-05:002009-11-21T03:40:29.402-05:00wow thats just freekie...hope it happens again...wow thats just freekie...hope it happens again...ang designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818952156682990100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-23230202538918834022009-11-20T22:45:24.284-05:002009-11-20T22:45:24.284-05:00I remember what I did with these I poured the glaz...I remember what I did with these I poured the glaze on the inside and let it sit a bit - that's the ticket it has to absorb a little and then it will heat up and want to pop back out, yippee I might be able to do it again.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-80107994254122320172009-11-20T22:35:05.630-05:002009-11-20T22:35:05.630-05:00Hi Jim, thanks so much.

I hope I can repeat the effect on a sculpture. they really do look like hollow craters, so much so that Gary said are they solid? will they stay that way? You can almost see through them. Oh Gee I just thought of something. It may not be possible to do on the outside, because I glazed a bowl and it was smooth, but the bowl was very thin, maybe the glaze did this because the clay was thicker on these pieces or because it was hotter inside the piece. It may be one of those happy mishaps that I can never repeat again. Boo hoo. We shall see.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-65702576092899580122009-11-20T22:12:39.965-05:002009-11-20T22:12:39.965-05:00linda, those are totally wild and very cool... it ...linda, those are totally wild and very cool... it does no good to try and figure out if someone might like them because someone will, you just probably don't know who. i had a severe problem with a glaze once and was distraught at the outcome and moved on and some people came over to look at pots and there were two of these failures on the floor under the table and sure enough, those were the ones they wanted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
