There are actually quite a few colors on this stacked form which is drying. I've used aqua, coral, and two browns but my photos doesn't show them well. I add many layers of color and blend the colors with various brushes and sometimes use rubber tools or my fingers. Once the form is fired the colors should darken, we shall see. I found I'm out of practice making these forms where I overlap strips of clay.
Here's the first one I made with two different colors of brown slip. I've left the seams visible on this one. Next time I think I'll make the handle with overlapped strips of clay. Both forms are about ten to twelve inches tall.
The other day our cat Butter showed up at the back door with blood dripping from his mouth. He had a large scratch across his nose and could barely walk. We noticed he had several toe nails missing on a front and back foot. At first we thought Barney might have fought with him, but now we're not so sure, since he doesn't seem to be afraid of Barney. We think he might have been attacked by another animal and fought them off or he may have fallen from the deck or a tree. I've been carrying him to his food and kitty litter and today he seems to be better but is still limping. If only cats could talk. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
