Reminds me of the angel fish I had as a teen. Interesting textures: moon-scape. First two years I started messing with clay, threw more than I could count back into the bowl. It is part of the learning curve: write it down as a lesson that leads to success.

Still trying to figure out who influenced you artistically? I see abstract in some and impressionist in others. There is more technical skills required here than meets the eye. What size tile do you typically use? Have you done or considered doing murals? I could easily see mural work with this technique. You have a highly individualized voice and expression: which I do find appealing.

YOU FOUND YOUR VOICE!!!!!!!!!! Marvelous, excellent, perfecto, magnificent, wonderful, beautiful, stunning, mesmerizing, and really cool. In the years to come people will be saying... that is a marko piece.

Babs: I stumbled upon a little secret years ago while doing crystalline glazes. There are two rare earth oxides; if added in the proper portions causes other oxides to separate. in lieu of their usual blending.
-
by the way- the glaze is not uneven on the pot: just has that appearance. The neck is the only uneven glazed area.
-
Brushing, not spraying. The base glaze is blended well, sieved. Then I come back and add oxides and some other elements that causes the oxides to separate. The variegation is chemically induced.. in easy terms.

John:
This recognition is well deserved. Congrats!

Why TY Cavy,,,oh wait.. you meant James.

Hey look---it's me 40 years ago. Long hair is white now.

Celia: must say you have a very artful eye. I like the idea that you used articular lines to further define a round bowl. Excellent work, executed very well. Nerd

Have fun did we?

Perhaps one of the most detailed pieces I have seen in some time.
-
Interesting the directions you can go, with just the smallest of change. Even the clay body changes the outcome. The reason I looked at your forms: large enough profile changes to change flow.

I like the design and the carving. I am trying to place "her" however. I have seen her before sometime in history- perhaps 17-18th century Europe. Not sure.

I am working on a cinnamon, breaking black. and after that a red in oxidation (no stains)

Good to see you back at it.
-
Perfecto!!

It is the titanium in the clay producing the purple band. Where high iron is, titanium is sure to follow

I use a 0.25 CF primarily: it holds 2 of these test tiles. I also use a 1.75CF Paragon that has 6500 watts. I use that for multiple tests, small pieces, and small batches of crystalline liner tiles. The 1.75 is my favorite, it has 3800 watts per CF: twice that of ordinary kilns.

Much nicer finish- uniform in clarity and sheen. No pinholes, no craters: looks like your over the hump. Great piece.
-
Ty sir. Need to dial down the alumina molarity in the clay: caused some pitting.
-
Cut the mag. carb to 0.30%,. After I saw the forms you were making, had to share one of my private glaze recipes. Turned out very well, Go very easy on the cobalt carb...just a pinch.
-
Some talc, some dolomite , perhaps a pinch of cobalt carb to make it break purple? Interesting indeed. Enough lithium to make it flow; but not too much.

I thought Mark put this up: apologies. Dazed and confused I am.

Being creative as usual I see. I definitely want to see the pics of the final product: I can already see beauty here without glaze.
