AEDM day 6

Today was just beautiful outside! TOTALLY unusual for here this time of year.
That isn't the reason I didn't get very far in my painting though.

I kinda experienced some issues with it and thought about ditching it...then I began fixing on it...so I don't really want to show it until tomorrow after I might have a chance to go further on it...sooo

Here is a hankie bowl in pastel...
Same techniques as in the previous bowl. Using powders and frits and vitreous stains and enamels with the kiln heat become permanent
to the design.


The top pictures gives an idea of the height and the bottom picture shows more of the detail...I don't think i brought it to the viewers attention, as with the other bowl both sides view the same.
Each of these bowls began on clear glass.

So I hope you had a wonderful day ...
Thank you for dropping in
:)

AEDM day 3

This is day three of AEDM. I was not in my studio today so I finished a sag in the kiln as my piece of art to post. The kiln can for the most part operate alone. If i had a kiln sitter i could program the kiln the schedule of ramps of heat up and it would also go through the cool and anneal stage all through the program...but

i don't have a kiln sitter...it is just me...but i KNOW my kiln and how long everything takes

and i am not fearful leaving it for small periods of time.

This bowl is part of my "splat" series. I call it this because to me it looks as if a drop of molten glass dropped to the floor...splat!

The bowl measure 9 inch diameter with a 1 1/2 inch drop to the scoop of the bowl. It is a taupe color with a light gray mix and black frits...the PERFECT size bowl to serve brie...just saying..

:)

Thanks for dropping in to see what was done today and I hope if you haven't joined in you consider doing so. Art is your friend...you will feel better for playing and creating....go on ya know ya want to..
