Got some glaze test pieces out of the kiln this morning. They are mini vases of HANETSUBO series. Not too bad texture but I realised the wings weren’t even! Oh well, preatice and more practice. After back from work tonight, I was making some more but really bad gale was shaking my gazebo like crazy so I got really frightened of trapping underneath in case it’s blown! Quickly finished turning and evacuated inside the house. I think I’ll really need to get back to the studio at college soon... xm
These are gorgeous Maki! And your photo displays them beautifully too. I like the wings, they are imperfect, just like people. It gives them more personality!
ReplyDeletegosh Maki - it has been so windy today - you brave lady :o) personally i prefer my wings a little wonky so these look perfect to me ;o)
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the above...who needs perfect wings? All the better for a bit of wonkiness! ;)
ReplyDeleteHello Maki, thanks for post on my blog - look forward to meeting you at Origin. Love your studio with the reclaimed glass!
ReplyDeleteDearest Maki, i love these vesas and i always love the way you display them and then photographs them! I guess there is a little perfectionist in us somewhere. Have a lovely merry happy week and love to you!
