Zentangle hibiscus bowl

Experimenting with a zentangle design,

just having fun doodling on a greenware bowl 

using Duncan Cobalt Crystal Black cover coat underglaze.

Followed by a clear glaze and final firing.

Just thought I'd share the finished product with the friends who watched the process.

Color wheels

I love color wheels and lots of color choices!

I also enjoy experimenting and making my own colors.

So I pulled out all my Stroke and Coat glazes

 and created this cool dish so I could see what I had,

 and to see what I could get with combining colors.

FUN, FUN, FUN!

This makes me so happy, I ate dinner off of it last night.

Daisy chains and wet clay designs

I am always curious 

and enjoy experimenting and creating new designs.

 I've been playing with vintage lace 

pressed into wet clay dish shapes

just because I can.

I especially like the tiny detail created on the edge of the leaves 

with a seam tracing wheel typically used for sewing.

Pretty cool, right?
