chubby checkmate...
(new vases by Gary Rith)
Sure, like I said yesterday with that plate: trying out some checkerboard patterns on pieces, wicked fun! I don't know why it might surprise me or seem obvious: I love checkerboards...well, I love patterns of a sort (which is why I am doing so many pots with leaves this winter). Generally I am also surprised to find that both leaf and checkerboard patterns that I prefer are the more subtle ones, like on the right in those tiles, where you can only just see the color patterns....plus the red and blue is cool :)
Have a great Saturday!
I think checkerboards have high contrast usually, so am enjoying your low contrast ideas. I especially like the puffy characteristic of the variegated areas of glaze. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteDidn't I notice in your photos that you have some checkerboard flooring in your home?
ReplyDeleteThat makes for a fun effect.
