Sgraffito Eastern Dragon Bowl

This bowl was a process, to say the least. I threw it with whiteware clay, messed with the rim, and covered it completely with black slip. Then, I carved the dragon. I bisqued it, and since carving all those scales took away all of my sanity, I underglazed color onto the bisque, and re-bisqued it. Covered in shiny clear and fired to ^04. Dang thing had little crawl spots, grrr...re-fired to ^03 after adding a bit more glaze to the bald spots. Voíla! Sold it a few years ago for a stupidly low $150... *facepalm* I'dve charged four times that if I was thinking straight. Live and learn!

Thank you! ^_^ I was super happy with the yellow-green gradient I made in the scales. Though it took forever, I felt leaving it black and white wouldn`t do this beauty justice. ^_^

That's a terrific piece!

 

Slips are the bees knees for getting a rich surface, and surprisingly controllable for control freaks like me.
