a sort of watery effect....
Right, so I say it so often: I had a dream January 1 to make flowers on pots and have experimented with it ever since. One thing I have noticed in old celadon pots from east Asia is that if you look closely, they may have a subtle pattern, like flowers, under the light green glaze. Sometimes not subtle at all, either way, I love it. Blue flowers under a spring green celadon being the latest version, very nice effect, those colors together--they melt together in delightful ways. I am not accustomed to sitting there all afternoon painting flowers but find it very....meditative? Yes, meditative, the opposite of my usual hectic running around....
They are very pretty. I find painting on my pots very meditative also, it’ puts us in this zen space. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a lovely pattern going there. That reminds me how I found out that too much cobalt made a flux in the glaze...and it became very runny indeed. You've apparently got just the right mix!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Very springy!
ReplyDeleteVery relaxing. I'm back into my card making after a long absence. So I will be doing a bit of colouring also. I can't draw though. Thank you to those talented people who design the rubber stamps.
