Raspberry and Variegated Slate Blue
Sep
This is my Raspberry Glaze with variegated Slate Blue (MC6G) over the Top. It’s on that Calico Clay and I have a chop mark on the Foot of the Raspberry.
The really interesting thing is that this Raspberry turns WHITE at the bottom and in the stamp chop mark? Hummmm I’ve never seen that before on my brown clay?
Interesting……..

Sep
Can you SMELL IT? Hummmmm well let me tell you , I seriously am no cook, I’m just sayin but I drool over Tom Gray’s Pizza. He’s a potter as well but a Pizza Snob ( and I mean that in a good way GRIN!).
He is always posting pictures of his PIZZA and making me hungry every time I visit his Blog http://tgraypots.blogspot.com/ If you search his blog, he even shares his pizza dough recipe.
It seems alot of potters in BLOG land are very good cooks and bakers….me well not so much. However, I was hungry. Dough from scratch? Not likely for me so I found….my favorite Pillsbury Dough boy, you know the white rather plump one….
TADA Pizza dough, plus already made Pesto ( I grow raspberries but that is about it…well I’m an URBAN POTTER.

Hi mary,
I like the clarified butter sauceboat that says clarified butter on it. I also, like the shiny graphic of the brownish, tan serving dish, I like the shiny affect. And I like the greenish blue platter for the triple crown, not the runny glaze. And as far as horses, no, but how would flowers twinkle with the whole name “butter”?
Appreciation,
A. darlene

Cup a Joe or Soup?
Sep
I do wonder why they call coffee a “cupa Joe” never really understood that?
I was thinkin maybe even Soup and salad or Soup and Sandwich? These would do double duty as a small plate and Soup Bowl.
Hummmmm? Added value seems to be big right now and so….
Not sure if these will sell? There are new for me….I’ll make a few groups of 2 and we’ll see on Saturday at OCKTOBERFEST in Castle Rock (Oct 3,2009 8am-12:00 for me).
Pie Plates with or without “Frilly” edges.
I guess they could double as serving platters,Quiche, or a baked casserole?
Hand building butter dishes. I had some folks ask for butter dishes with handles. SO I will be playing around with these and adding feet,handles,designs,etc. I like the slumped lid as well so I think I’ll keep that too?

Calico Clay and Glazes Cone 6 Oxidation
Sep
Bright Sky Blue (MC6G)works well, covers well and is smooth to the touch on Calico Clay by Laguna. On the rim and slanted is Licorice and they work well together on this clay. It takes wax resist well and I used an under glaze for the stamping design and letters. Not too bad.
Pretty consistent weather on top, bottom or in the middle firing.
Field Mouse Brown (MC6G) and waterfall brown on the top again slanted a bit for more flow.
Covers well and Field Mouse brown alone can be a bit matt but smooth.
Val Turquoise glaze is a keeper as well! Quite nice.

Hiding Among the Fallen
Sep
I’m not exactly sure what I mean with this recently finished mask: chalk it up to my own frailties and insecurities. Hiding seems to be the central theme behind my work (at least as I see it) and I’ve spent a lot of time interpreting this theme in as many ways as possible. And, I’m not finished yet…
Currently, I feel as if I’m on auto pilot - plugging away in the studio and “Birdgirl” is emerging wishing for an out. I definitely have “got the urge for going” and I’ll have to let it go…… (for now)
