    rr, your pieces are so lovely. looking at them makes me feel as though part of the artist is in them, that they are not just objects, but objects that offer connection. I don't think I'm describing that well... sorry, sometimes I lack words for feelings.

    how do you create the color in the plant impressions? They don’t leave their color, do they? Do you make the physical impression and then paint the color in? Or maybe they do leave their color? How does that work?

    IL: I make the physical impression, then the piece is bisque fired. Then I paint the color with underglaze. Then I glaze the piece in clear, and it is fired again.

    Thanks, everyone!

    Here are some of the curvy little vases I've been making. They are fun! I'm still a bit too heavy and my walls aren't consistent or smooth enough, but progress is being made. The designs are underglaze transfers, which go on like temporary tattoos before glazing. My next 2-month session starts today, and will be almost all wheel-throwing. That's good, because that's where I really need the practice.

    I would absolutely be your first sale with that middle one with the birds. I love the color and I love birds.
