Here's a peek at the bisque before more deco to add the black in some of the incised areas. These puppies are sure labor-intensive, but the work is flowing nicely. The "indigenous and endangered" theme is a great conversation starter when studio visitors ask what I'm working on now.

beauty pots... looking forward to seeing them fired. previous post, i do like that greenish yellow
Hi Patricia, these are really great too. I like the multiple colors and layers and overlapping you are achieving. It truly must take a long time to hand draw (scribe) each one. So you add the black (glaze or underglaze?) after you bisque and then put a transparent over that? I can't quite figure out the process. Do you wipe the black on and then wipe it off and it stays in the crevices? I am always so curious about techniques since my classroom information was so limited. I wish someone would give a surface treatment workshop nearby.
looking good again, be good to see the next colour combos..
Linda - Yes, that's the process I use. The black is underglaze. Time intensive but I enjoy it. Lately I've been alternating this work with less detailed pieces so that I can feel like I'm accomplishing more -- and get some more work on the shelves.
Hi Patricia, thanks so much. That's how I like to work too - make something time consuming and then some easier to accomplish pieces so I can see some "results" more quickly. I do get a great personal satisfaction on the work I really like even if it is detailed and time consuming.
