Moving along nicely on my latest batch of berry bowls. Stamping a ring of texture around each of them using my own handmade stamps! Now to dry to leatherhard before I can trim the footring and punch some drainage holes!!!
Just adding a few accents of colored flashing slips on this latest batch of stamped mugs. The slip colors will change dramatically when fired in the soda kiln… more colorful with flashing effects from the flames!
Handles attached… another batch of mugs made! I’m planning on soda-firing these in the future, so I think they might still need some colored flashing slips before I call them done & let them start drying.
Loving Kelly’s stamped & soda-fired wall pocket vase… perfect for remnants of a floral arrangement when the “fussy flowers” died off and left this textural assortment. Just another fun Floral Friday!
A single rose in a stamped & soda-fired ikebana vase to brighten your Friday…
it doesn’t take a lot to share a smile!
Looks like Kristy is showing off her collection of sweet little soda-fired bowls! Stamps look good… but those SPIRALS!!! You know how I love a good spiral!!!
And when one falls off while replanting… mini cutie-patootie vase to the rescue!
Tiny textured nuggets… now in fun colors!!!
Can’t wait for “my plan” to come together later this summer…
While I’m in the middle of making my “normal” stamped mugs for a future soda-firing… I need to remind myself that it’s time to make more of these “hybrid” mugs too!!! My collection of carved handrollers from MKM Pottery Tools has recently “doubled” & I can’t wait to try out some of their newest patterns while making more of these wheelthrown & handbuilt combo “hybrid” mugs!
