Wedge Fan Tray

Wedge Fan Tray
the test kiln broke down yesterday...
the switch terminal wires fried...
constant use probably didn't help
age contributed a lot also
everything I have is old...
so... replaced all the connectors and it's back in business... I'm lucky... testing continues...
now fired properly I have this small tray...
again... stark, old looking and perfect to show you how life indeed can be a bowl of cherries...

peonies...

some peonies before the rains...

Tumbler

progress! seems I'm getting somewhere...
or as an old friend used to say
" now you're suckin' diesel, Rob"
keep moving along
one step at a time
what happened to the white pots?

so would you drink your morning coffee from this?

testing, testing...

that's right, it's a mug folks...

testing continues...
a stark,varied and irregularly applied white
multiple layers with the textured clay showing through
a wonderful soft feeling in the hands
fingermarks around foot
very nice and smooth on the lips...
pretty much, the list...
so why is decoration in my head????

Pickle/Olive Server...

Making Progress
Pickle/Olive Server
1.75in.H x 8in.W x 4in.D
I'm liking this
it has what I'm looking for...
fat, semi-translucent white,
minimal quasi oribe style decoration
feels good in the hand...
prices will be posted once I've successfully managed to produce
more and a variety of objects...
cups, mugs, plates and other servers, etc... in something beside the test kiln... then I can get bigger!

something old, something new...

well look at that...
sometimes change takes you places you wouldn't have expected
sometimes looking back is looking forward
better living through chemistry perhaps...
should be able to have some fun with this
a version of Scott Goldberg"s " recession blue"... lichen style...
