Overlapping Glazes

These are the last of the previous kiln load with some overlapping glazes. This pieces is about 4 x 5 x 3 inches.
Here's the inside. I didn't like this one that much but Gary said someone will like it. Often my least favorite is the one that sells first.

 My business card holders sell well.

 These next two I made too small to hold a business card.

I'll have to measure next time. Ha. But they were good for testing overlapping glazes. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

Glaze Bloopers

With a painting if you don't like it you can paint over it. With pottery glaze bloopers that's not always possible. This glaze experiment didn't turn out like I wanted. The two glazes didn't react as I thought. But I will put him for sale and it will probably surprise me and be the first item that sells. That happens to me a lot. How about you?

Overlapping glazes on a flat plate without much hope for movement might not be the best idea especially with a pattern on the plate. Now if I had brushed the whole plate with the second glaze it would have been ok, but I learn something each time. Not every glaze experiment is a winner.

This plate has a piece of what I think is from the pyrometer - that little raised black speck. Do you think I can grind it off with my diamond bit dremmel? Luckily I have one more of these from a previous firing so I can make a set of four.

Looks like Saturday's market is going to be a rainout but we'll go anyway because we may get lucky with less rain than predicted. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
