I decided to try something a little different with my pottery. I painted these plates thinking of the woodcut yarn ball on the cover of Mason-Dixon Knitting. I'm going to keep working on this design - thin the cobalt a little, take more care when painting. For the cups, I'm going to cut the yarn design into the bottoms. My goal now is to make a tea pot resembling an old stove-top "fat keeper" I saw in a book at the library. It was all slap dash and wire - with an orphaned tin cap for a lid.
What a great idea! I love these pieces.
ReplyDeleteoh how lovely! i see the ball of yarn, but to me these also look like caligraphy, roses, onions, and somehow those old glass insulators from telephone poles.
ReplyDeleteI like these better than the Potter Craft yarn ball--you can "read" them so many ways.
ReplyDeleteAnd the yellow glaze is to die.
How do you get the plates so round?
