Divine Vine


Well, I am liking the results, but this will still be one-of-its-kind. The overall technique is too tedious but the carving, however, has already been repeated on a vase. Free-style carving on leather hard clay is just too much fun.

Almost

Glazed but not fired yet. I painted a very dark glaze into the carved vine design then wiped away the excess with a damp sponge. Then, I painted a white glaze all around and about the vine design. Seemed like a great idea at the time, but soooo tedious and time consuming. Music helped. Definitely a one-of-a-kind unless I figure out a quicker way. Hope it was worth it....always an experiment.
