Hi Everybody!
Pics from latest firing... As things progress with this series, I'm working with dark/light... "reversing" the line out of the dark color blocks and filling in the etched line with black in the light color blocks.
All of the pieces in this series feature "indigenous and endangered" plants of the central coast of California.
I love the etching/drawing on pots and am working on a new batch now. Should bisque today.
My goal is to do a bunch of these and continue to refine, holding the work for a future show. In the meantime, I have a tile commission to do and need to restock the shelves at the studio gallery.
Fun! Am looking forward to all of it!

its so pefect!
This is a wonderful series! Great drawings & colors. And thanks for letting me know about the underglaze - straw. Is that Amaco?
oooh, those are lovely! I agree, drawing on pots is the best. And I love the idea of highlighting endangered plants on your cups. What a great place to remind us to treat our environment with respect... I'm looking forward to the next round.
looking really good, I do like the panels in reverse and great contrasting colours..
beautiful pots... i'm wondering if the color is more accurate on this post or the previous post or is the green/yellow color a different glaze on each? lovely sgraffito
Patricia these are so crisp and fresh looking. I love the color combo of chartreuse and black and your drawings are beautiful.
Thanks for the feedback everybody!
Judy - Yep, Amaco velvets
Jim - The pot on the previous post had a color called straw, plus yellow... The more recent has yellow underglaze but it sure went to the greenish yellow side, in the photos and in reality. I wasn't too sure about it, but I'm finding gallery visitors who (voluntarily) say they like it... Jury is out...
Hey Gary, Kip, Ang and Linda - Thanks for visiting and commenting. It sure is nice of you all. Keeps me motivated to keep on keepin' on.
