Tiny Bowls Tuesday



 These tiny bowls are actually tests. I had two bags of medium dark brown clay and could not tell whether they were brown or a speckled buff.  Only after a glaze firing could I tell that both of the smallest bowls were of speckled buff clay. The other two bowls are a clay blend that I've been experimenting with to achieve a grainy looking elephant gray color. The blend uses Laguna b-mix and clay/dirt from my yard. I can have bands of the lighter clay show through if my blending is not thorough enough, as the mark on the middle left bowl shows. That could be a cool look for a bigger test on another day.
