Description This is the pot I made in ceramics this year. Raku fired it with white crackle and low fire glazes. I won a blue ribbon for it in a recent art contest. Hope you enjoy it too!

Beautifully crafted! Your choice of raku glazes really enhances the elegance of the cut-out shapes.

Thanks so much!!! The blue isn't even a raku glaze. Its a low-fire glaze undercoat. Neat trick I learned.

Is it really? I love that about ceramics; just as there's unlimited ways of sculpting the clay, there are multitudes of combinations of glazes, washes and stains one can use to colour the piece.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that's good! I SUCK at ceramics--drawing and painting is more my thing--and how in the HELL did you keep it from falling apart in the kiln? It looks like it woulda drooped from all the empty space!

Really nice, I can see why you got a blue ribbon. IT'S SO PRETTY. Nice choice with the fabric for the photo too. AUGH THE COMMENTS JUST KEEP ROLLIN NOOOO

Hahaha Thanks so much I let the clay get leather hard before even thinking about cutting into it. I was more worried about the raku fire I put it in. But it survived so YAY! You're the first to notice the fabric, I barely noticed myself. XD

I'm glad to see other types of art as oppose to drawing and music. Unforunitly, most people call it clay scluptures and it comes out badly. This, I actually mean, is good.

You're welcome.

What sucks about being better at sculptures is that you can't apply for many art scholarships with them. They want the original version only! (which means if it ain't on paper, it won't work)

Matthordika In reply to Frubafan3 [2009-04-24 21:34:45 +0000 UTC]

Then its a bad scholarship. Art is anything you create.

There I go trying to sound smart again.

And it impresses the ladies... I hope... But I really do know what I'm talking about.

Frubafan3 In reply to Matthordika [2009-04-24 22:04:18 +0000 UTC]

Sorry, I'm naturally sarcastic.

The lines have a little meaning. It represents this design I made that starts as a center (circle) and flows into something more complicated and beautiful. If I can find the design I made on paper, I'll show you! (thanks again though)

Well THAT'S a stupid thing to say. Michael Jackson is a MAN (believe it or not) and therefore doesn't have the capability to be a LESBIAN! You are actually more likely to fit into this category... but I must confess, you do remind me of Tingle from LOZ!
