Set of Retro Prep Bowls, Yellow Engobe on B Mix
GiselleNo5 posted a gallery image in Browse Member Galleries
From the album: Wheel Thrown Work, 2015
This is a fun set of stacking prep bowls in white with yellow engobe inside and a vintage-looking design on the outside. I covered each bowl with clear and they came out really nicely.© Copyright Giselle Massey 2015 All Rights Reserved

I don't even want to talk about how long this took to make ... more a work of art than a production piece. But I enjoyed making it so much and this is the first piece I've ever made that came out even better than I imagined. I love everything about it (this never happens to me). I used white slip on the inside of the bowl and white engobe on the flowers so the colors would show true. It worked very well, but some of the little speckles showed through anyway, which I found completely charming.© Copyright Giselle Massey 2015 All Rights Reserved

Busily photographing 75 items so I can list them online. It's hard to resist the deep pull to make more new work especially now that I can handle the finished pieces and see each thing I want to change. I'll post more works-in-progress and also pictures of my finished pieces today and tomorrow.

I use Picasa 3 which is a free download from Google. I really like it. All I use is lightness, shadow, and occasionally straighten or crop. I did about 50 photos in 15 minutes last night.
That being said I DID do wedding photography years ago which involved viewing and editing 1,000-2,000 photos per event so anything compared to THAT is a piece of cake.

Not listing my work is my biggest weakness. I just hate taking pictures and writing up descriptions.
-
I love doing the photos, HATE listing the items. What is your Etsy shop, Rebekah? I'm thinking I've visited before.

Today we unloaded a huge glaze kiln containing three months' work. Some of the pieces are better than I thought ... but the kiln overfired on the lower shelves and caused pits and blisters. Will regroup tomorrow when I'm less upset and figure out what's salvageable.

I had a talk with my one friend who is an experienced potter and her advice matches yours exactly. At this point it's an unusable item so I'm not risking anything. Really I had lots of good results and lots of items that came out beautifully and this is only my third kiln load ever. I'm just being a perfectionist.
-
Wow. 3rd load with successful pots is fantastic. Congratulations. Im on my like 50th firing and I still toss away 99% of everything.
-
Oh my word I would die. I'm using commercial glazes so I'm sure that makes a difference. This load I would say 1/2 were wonderful, no flaws, the othe 1/2 had tiny flaws mostly and a few were really messed up. The kiln we used is huge, its so big I have to stand on a 2 ft stepladder and bend upside down to load the bottom shelf.I fired around 75 items. I'll post photos tomorrow.

I love these!! -
I sent you a private message. How on earth could I say no? -
I think I like the raku slug better. I think it's because the yellow turned out more vibrant. -
You are welcome to make one for your own use. When you form the cube, let it rest a bit till firm before making the design or else the sides you're not working on will "goosh". -
GEP? Otis is finished now, he's blue. I'll share photos of him in a "finished" album soon. -
lol Well thanks! You should try making them. I made these for my sister, she adores guinea pigs *almost* as much as you do.
-
I really love this one. Just ... everything about it is wonderful. -

This one will be glazed a vibrant lime green on the inside to contrast with the reddish brown this will be when fired at ^5.© Giselle Massey, Giselle No. 5 Handmade, all rights reserved

Slip cast place setting with added beadwork

This set was slip cast from my set of vintage molds from the 1970s. But I love texture so I added all the little details dot by dot and line by line. So relaxing.© Giselle Massey, Giselle No. 5 Handmade, all rights reserved

Don't tell anybody, but the allover slip trailing design hides quite a few little flaws. I haven't mastered slab building yet.© Giselle Massey, Giselle No. 5 Handmade, all rights reserved

I threw this mug for my dad. He sketched out the basic shape and I tried it in both 1 lb., shown here, and 1.5 lb, shown above. He wants it in 2 lb. Maybe to bathe in.© Giselle Massey, Giselle No. 5 Handmade, all rights reserved

My dad and I are both learning to throw on the wheel. I find smaller forms like mugs to be easier while he makes 5 lb. bowls without breaking a sweat. I made this mug at his request with 1.5 lbs. of clay. He liked it but wants it bigger.© Giselle Massey, Giselle No. 5 Handmade, all rights reserved

I based this set of mugs on my set of four season tree stamps. Each will be glazed in two contrasting colors that reflect the season.© Giselle Massey, Giselle No. 5 Handmade, all rights reserved
