Very cool stuff.<BR/><BR/>I know nothing about glazing and colors and all, so I'm learning a ton from your posts.

They are lovely. I totally agree with you about the mug. No matter how beautiful it is, it has to "feel right" or it simply takes up space in the cabinet.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-56149449206512323822009-01-24T15:52:00.000-05:002009-01-24T15:52:00.000-05:00Wow, I've been reading books and looking at pic's ...Wow, I've been reading books and looking at pic's on the net and I just learned more from your one posting than I have from 15 others. Your "marbled" pieces look great. I tend to overwork the clay and get very fine streaking. Your blue glaze goes brown when, as you say it is applied to thin. Either take some water out or stir really well, then dip and hold for a count of 5-8. If you pour the glaze, hold the bowl by the rim, piece up side down and start pouring from the bottom so that it runs down to the top of the bowl. You can get interesting result because the glaze settles thicker at the rim and is nice and thin at the bottom and therefore will not run off the bowl onto the kiln shelf.<BR/>Will keep watching to see what else I can learn.<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Andrea HoisethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
