The Joy of being Bloated.


 So this is from the last glaze firing. My pasta bowls did not fit, only one was fired. It is not listed here as it had a glaze issue.  I will retire that one and fixed the other four before they were fired. So that was a good thing.


I think this bowl, GP size, is my favorite.  It was done in Rutile. I really need to dry it out so the green comes out better and take some out to keep it this milk consistency. I really do like it like this, but I don't think anyone else will be happy with it as it won't be what they expect. This has an iron oxide design.



Another bowl but with waterfall brown glaze and a splash of blue


This again has rutile green  There is a splash of blue.  Under the glaze is a white slip stripe.  You can see the rutile in effect real strong when this glaze is done so thin.


This is glazed similarly. I did three pix because I was trying to show the flaw, but it is hard to see with these pix so I kept taking them.



Look here carefully, it is a "bump". That kids is called bloating. I think there was an air bubble and it screwed up the pot. I really really like this pot, so was pretty sad as it is now unsellable. I will keep it and use it for the doggz cookies.
