wave Jar

How in the heck do you do that? Incised lids? Omg. Pleeeez tell! This piece is brilliant! ♥

Thanks! You just throw a fully closed off shape, then take a paint key or some other similar shaped object and create a groove which will become the lip the lid sits over. Cut apart when leather hard then trim lid and jar until they fit.

and also cut a hole for air to release so your pretty pot don't crack open while drying... I been practicing this style, hmmm whats his name Van Gilder or something like that?

 

I love this one, my Fav... Very good job, how much practice did it take you before it happened?

 

I have tried 2 times so far, both after work and dead tired. hey I tried though LOL, went a tad to deep on 1 and pop goes the weasel... on the second I had it but forgot to make a release hole and slept for 12 hrs and it cracked lol... 

I got the hang of it after just a few. I do put in an air hole. The hardest part for me is just closing it off right.
