Okay! This week I got back some of my glazed pieces! Here they are. Some great, some so-so – leave comments on what you like/don’t like if you wish.

This is my favorite. It is a slabbed bottle with a notch in the lip. The line decoration was incised, and the circular “bis” impressed with washers. I dipped the piece in Blue Hare’s Fur, wiped it off the circles, and painted them with Yellow Ochre with Specks:

The “boat” that transformed into a candle holder. This slab piece was incised on the back and fluted up the sides (with a fork). I dipped the back and insided in Matt Black/Gunmetal and then the front in Matt Blue Green:

The highly textured feathery candle holder. This slab piece was carved while leatherhard and dipped in Matt Blue Green:

Two semi-successful tea bowls. Both were thrown on the wheel. The small one (left) I faceted on the bottom. Both were dipped in Matt Black/Gunmetal on the bottom and Licorice/Gloss Black on the top:
