Vase 2 testing...

this one keeps drawing me back to it
quiet,worn, nearly polished by time
I love the fact that it's origin is unclear...
what exactly is it made of?

Ancient Vase

today's tests brought this beautiful surprise...
the adventure continues with many more twists

Rock Caddy w/ Lichen...

from today's test kiln...
I'm thinking these are really beginning to have the surface quality of the thermal vents
which inspired all this raw volcanic work of mine
or perhaps a geyser's  mineral encrustation surrounding it's vent...
they're awfully close if not there already...
celebration is in order!

the Rastas

the Rastas, here in morning mist, are on full display now
I love these guys,
but there seem to be no double decker ones this year
how curious...

Plates

from the first load in a larger kiln...
this test has left me with more questions than answers...
I wanted the pouring of the glaze to be visible beneath the lines, forming a field of linear variation in density over glaze variation of different density... think that's here... but still wondering about this?????? and of course there are those pesky smudges...
more tests...
