New focus photos for the week

Clay abstract kiln fired

My clay abstract tile has been fire.  I have a combination of indigenous red clays and iron and copper oxides and a small clear glaze over the green(cooper oxide) "river" in the vertical area. Fired cone 6. See the before final firing .

On the coast.

A few pictures from the early morning walks. Absracts and early morning sun in the clouds.

Friday notes

Yesterday i had 19 items come out of bisk ...a record for me. The one I have photoed here is a wall plaque (it cracked in loading but...) that will go directly to cone 6 fire with minor changes. and the leaf photo is same leaf as the Monday 27th leaf after drying. Great color and texture.  The last photo is just a B/W shot of a simple 3 leaf composition.

New fire and stuff

A new firing of the platter shown on May 23rd as letterhard clay. Amazing what a little heat will do to clays, no glaze here.

And a little storm debris (sycamore bark) trying to figure out how it is to become art???
