New pieces fired and not.

Got this one back last week and liked the texture and colors, First I used a crackle glaze and with oxides. 2" slabs (4) of clay cut away to create the form. Cone 5
















This one is slab built using my great new mallet by David Ulschmid with www.wispwoods.blogspot.com.  Not fired yet, very thin side walls.
Porcelain cone 5 clay and banding wheel hand turned with rib to give very soft surface treatment (unusual for me.)

    wow, that first one looks like cone 10 and I mean that as a complement and love the surface treatment of the lower vase, great work.

    Wow! It came out great! I like the second one too, but definitely a departure for you. I find it's nice to punctuate work with something different.
