Here's the ruffle bowl, doesn't it look nice?
Now take a closer look. I was checking on the drying. What did I see? A crack, no lots of cracks - at every ruffle. I know what happened. Last night I took a tool to impress a little design around the outside of the bowl. The bowl was a little too dry, but I did it any way. Shame on me, that's what I get. Boo Hoo!
I love the seashell plates! What are you thinking for glaze?
ReplyDeleteAnd my mother said the same thing about the gas vs. wood fireplace.
I guess I'll have to think about it.

Welcome Cheryl, it's easy for me to know how to spell your name since my sister spells her's the same way.
ReplyDeleteI responded here once, not sure what happened to it, lost in cyberspace.
Thanks about the shell bowls. Often times I think shell motifs are overdone, but I like them. I can just see shrimp salad on a bed of lettuce in these. I'm thinking of a peachy pink color for the shell bowls. I have an orange shino for the Cone 10 reduction firing at the college, I'd like to try on them - won't even do a test firing as I'd have to wait for another whole firing to get them done which could be a while. For my Cone 5/6 kiln here I was thinking of a pink pearlescent - if I can find anything like that I can make up.
I had some fresh scallops served with their shells years ago when my husband and I were dating and I have never forgotten the beauty of the shells. If I could duplicate that color, I'd be happy as a "clam" oops I mean scallop
Here's a link to the color I am thinking of:
