Re-do for big blue

I picked up my newly fired cookie jar from the center today but I will have to hold off on the cookies. For some reason the glaze on the lid came out smooth and the body of the jar did not. The blue speckles on the body gives it a nice depth and so do the pin holes and blisters. Pin holes and blister....not exactly the "depth" I had in mind!  I used Amaco's paintable Indigo Float glaze which is usually so reliable. This pot is not one of my minis; reaching almost 9 inches with its lid on. So I am really hoping a re-fire will help.

Come on baby, let's do the twist!

 Glazed with Coyote's shino and accented with Amaco's Indigo float.

As you can tell by now, I am all over the place as far as discovering a style for my pots or even sticking to a color scheme. But how do you know unless you try things out. So as I was throwing this vase, it developed a twist at the neck. I probably overworked the clay but managed to stop short of it's collapse. The other two vases, I twisted deliberately. At least I have a set of similar pots. A little bit of  homage to George Ohr.  The mad potter of Biloxi who made crazy twisted pottery.    www.justartpottery.com/collectors_pottery/ohr_pottery_history.htm  That was fun, but my style search continues. I am hoping I'll know it when I see it.
