Fun with Jars

     I wanted to practice making lidded vessels, and here is what came out of it!  Also, I love these two glazes and how they play with the slip.


Short and Wide



Weight towards the bottom



Little more girth at the top


          I am very happy with how they finished.  No lids stuck or anything!

Time

     I seem to be very good at avoiding blogging.  It is helpful for me to look at my pieces and try to decide what could make them better.  Just keep trying!

Small lidded box before and after.  I wanted to test using different glazes between the slip trailing, though I am not in love with the outcome. 


Another box, I have been enjoying exploring them.  I like the color combination here but I wish it had a handle.


















New kind of box!  Here I was testing out a different and it came out very... Aztec feeling.

A nice form for a medium bowl.  It allows for slip trailing on the inside.



     Christmas ornaments!  I just finished these 6.  The smallest ones are just under 2 inches, while the larger ones are around 5 inches.  They each have a trimmed foot and instead of drilling a hole in them to hang from, I am looking for a complimentary wire or string to wrap around the neck.  Can't wait to see how they come out!
