A ruffled edged bowl in 6 colors

I threw this wide based cylinder too thin and drew the walls out at too steep an increase, instead of letting the walls flop over, I created several undulations that strengthened the walls. This had to be trimmed by hand except for the base which I trimmed on the bat. The colors are purple, speckled ivory, shadow green, burgundy and speckled rust. There is also texturizer. Karen and I gave this to her cousin and husband Vanessa and Todd.

Small funnel shaped flower vase


This pleasant object is purple, peacock green, and something like speckled rust with texturizer. I accidentally left a small piece unglazed that actually looks kind of cool. Karen and I gave this to her wacky uncle Ron.

Multi-hued soup bowl


This multi-hued soup bowl has purple, speckled ivory, hazelnut, and texturizers. I think it is porcelain.

A new batch (part2)


This is the underside of that last bowl showing the shape and exterior glaze. I think the brown is hazelnut with TX-2 applied as an overglaze. I applied TX-1 to the interior of most of the pieces in this batch and TX-2 to the exterior. Unfortunately the TX-2 peeled away in places leaving very sharp ribbons of knife-edged glass. After chipping off the larger slivers, I will need to dremel smooth the rest. I would also like to dremel down the feet of my pieces.

Tri-colored black-stroked bowl


This is a wide almost plate-like bowl made from alpine white (I think.) The colors are speckled Ivory and some kind of red... there is a purple highlight and everything is dipped in shadow green I think. There are black or brown accent strokes made with a long floppy thin brush.
This is a picture of my kittie bix and the light lopsided bowl. This is a picture of my wonderful life.

Lopsided orange and purple bowl.


This is a wonderfully light lopsided bowl I threw from alpine white. This was the first thing I threw thin with almost no trimming (except the foot.) The lower half is purple and the inside is orange. The orange glaze smells like amonia and rotten eggs.

Purple bowl


This is the first bowl I made after instruction. the base (not shown) is a thick pedestal with a shallow ring for a foot. The glaze is simply purple. I love the glossy uneven quality that gives this one glaze so much texture. This is made from alpine white (a heavily grogged white clay.)
