Projects on My Mind…
Finishing the wedding gift for a friend! Made a mini mixing bowl and painted + carved their wedding flowers on it. Will upload a picture of the final product but am very excited about this one but trying to manage my expectations…so many things can go wrong during glazing T_T - currently bisque fired (made 2 pieces just in case) and need to figure out what glaze I want to use + how to cover the design effectively, maybe liquid latex? I don’t have liquid latex but I hope the studio does…
I also made two blates recently and painted one with small flowers and one with tomatoes that ended up looking like oranges. Excited to see how these turn out! For the ones with brown flowers I think a simple clear glaze will look nice, or wax resist the outside flowers and use “Leather” on the outside + clear on the inside.
Saw these onion savers the other day and thought it would be cute to make this! An onion version and maybe a lemon one for fun. I also saw this air dry clay trinket box [gazoo studio] on YouTube and want to see if I can make something similar! Maybe a a fruit tart would be cute!!
I made the salt jars to practice repetitive forms a while ago (more than a month?) and I need to glaze them and gift them before September! Not sure what kind of glaze combos I want to use but I did bring these bisqued ones back home in case I did want to use underglaze but not sure… The two glazes I have at home are 2 Laguna glazes (a baby pinkish one and baby blue one) so maybe will use those? Still need to think about it.
