Glazed these pieces today. All are glazed with Ron's creme and then the accents (swirls, dots, edge of some plates) are the tahitian glaze. Greg also was making brushes with his class yet again! He told me a story about visiting roadkill and saying a native american prayer for the roadkill, blessing the spirits and then taking the squirrel hair or whatever kind of animal it is to make a brush. He always has good stories.
And while this pic is a bit blurry, the cup is not. :) This is the top view of a teacup for my friend, Ashley. I asked her if she wanted something written on the outside and she gave me this beautiful quote by Julian of Norwich. The inside is glazed in Ron's green glaze; the outside in Ron's creme. Outside has slip that was poued on and the inside has slip that was put on using a bulb. Words are sgrafittoed around it. It's a short yunomi teacup. Earthen red clay.Also trimmed a plate today. Trimming plates is not easy. Teacups are much easier. I have so much to learn.

I have a skinny chip brush I got very inexpensively and I just love it. It says it is made of goat hair. I use it for applying slip and glazes. Amy your slip ware is looking so great. There are so many things to try with clay and it is so much fun.
goat hair? Haven't heard of that one yet. Thanks for your kind words. Hey, maybe someday we'll meet each other! Glad we're keeping in touch through blogging.
