I made this little wall pillow tile/thing or whatever from porcelain. After it was bisqued, I brushed it with black underglaze, wiped it off and glazed it in gloss green.
There is a little hole for hanging on the back. Of course the back is nicer than the front, isn't that always the way?! I am going to start using the underglaze on some larger porcelain pieces, now that I know what it looks like. Jeff asked me the other day if I was going all black and white on him. Maybe black and white with a little green mixed in!
If you are celebrating Easter, I wish you a happy one. Jeff and I are taking it easy today and moving slowly. I may get my hands in some clay this afternoon, I think it's about time.
Happy Easter to you and Jeff, those are both lovelies, your leaves are super and that pitcher, yummy.
ReplyDeletevery nice wash results on your wall pillow. At first glance it looked like sgraffito. Your ginkgo carvings are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've been experimenting with underglaze wash too. I like the colored translucent glaze finish much more than just clear.
Happy Easter!
I mixed a black slip for sgraffito but it wasn't black enough when I tested it. I have a short attention span, and never adjusted it to test again. I really should because wiping off the underglaze is time consuming. On the other hand, I like the variation you can create by not washing all of it off.
ReplyDeleteSo many decisions to make and things to try!
mmmmm mmmm, celadon and black OH YES :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you all. Love the black with the translucent green...am going to be doing more of it myself!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better, I hope you enjoyed your slow Easter.
ReplyDeleteThe pillow front looks great, no worries.
