finishing up for farmer's market

Here are the finished versions of the mugs I posted about last time (gosh its been a while, but I haven't really been doing any pottery, just massively re-arranging the studio and recycling a butt-load of clay--thanks to my brother GABE!)

 These are all MAC 6 Porcelain with a Basalt/Mottled Blue/Purple/Rutile Tan combo.

 This is Studio Brown Clay with Ketchup/Nutmeg and Rutile Tan

Mi favorito new glaze combo--Ketchup, Nutmeg, Mottled Blue and Rutile Tan. Reminds me of the desert. (Also on Studio brown clay)

And a few other fun pretties for the farmer's market:

 soap bottle dispensers

 These are all the same glaze combos mentioned on the mugs.

 my first attempt at a yarn bowl.  (mottled blue & rutile tan on studio brown clay)

Tree of life serving bowl (Blue Rutile from the Potter's Choice Glaze series: Mac 6)

a pretty little pie dish just in time for blueberry pie (Ketchup, Nutmeg with rutile tan and mottled blue detail--studio brown clay)

A funny little french butter dish (with the word butter written in English, of course:) Stroke and Coat glazes on mac 6 (sour apple, moody blue)

And a little experiment. 

Porcelain buttons and pendants with carved underglazed details.  These didn't really turn out how I envisioned them, but I cant say I dislike them either:

Maybe we'll see you at the Farmer's Market at Bearing Song!

(maybe it wont rain tomorrow!)

Spring Pots: Batch 1

"Sunshine & Roses" Mugs and Tray

^6 porcelain, hand-built using textured slabs

Glaze: Tacoma Clay Art P-Series "Papaya" & TCA "Basalt"

"Winter Sun" Mugs

^6 porcelain, wheel-thrown, carved

Glaze*: Inside--Iridescent Blue (TCA) Outside--Iridescent blue sponged over Ivory (TCA)

*I would call this a "use at your own risk" glaze combo.  This used to be a set of 4 mugs, but one bubbled really bad, and the other ran down and stuck to the kiln shelf. So obviously there is some unpredictability at work here.

Colander Fun!

"Rose Coral" Colander and Dish Set

^6 porcelain, wheel-thrown, altered

Glaze: I did all kinds of weird things to this one!  I started by sponging on an irregular layer of Melon Underglaze from SPS. Then I layered on 3 coats of Ivory from TCA.  To top it off, I sponged on another thin application of "Chun Plum" from the Amaco Potters Choice Glazes. 

"Apple a Day" Colander

^6 porcelain, wheel-thrown, altered

This one is for givaway over at my other blog

Glaze: Light application of SPS Blue-Green Underglaze, 2 coats TCA Ivory over that, and flecked with TCA iridescent blue.

L: "Blue Lagoon" Collander, R: "Beluga Bubbles" Colander and Dish
