I will spare you the glaze test photos because...honestly...they won't mean anything to you ...
I am trying to figure out layering of glazes that will add some depth and dimension to the work and it's a bit of a struggle but...I will press on...also...trying to move into to some darker tones without losing the movement/sculptural quality/detail of the piece... For instance... I am afraid glossy black just looks like a big blob of glossy black...working with mattes...and glossies...Colors that blend...not real harsh color changes on the pieces... I tend to feel that subtle color changes are the ways to go with my pieces. I don't want a block of color, big changes...big contrast or you lose a lot of what i feel is the "essence" of my forms... now I'm just rambling...
but here are a couple of the pieces....
(The darker purple was a request...)

OFF TOPIC... AGAIN...
I know this is off topic...
AGAIN.
BUT...
I spent the day making glazes...
AND
I finally got some great photos back from the Bar Mitzvah...
SO...
I thought I would share...
BEFORE...
I deal with more glazes...
TOMORROW.
Here we are all dressed up for the ceremony:
Me and Mike
Me and the Boys.
And then the evening...
A sample of the floral arrangements...
Here's the four of us...
And a girl deserves a dance if I can get my dad to NJ...
And I love to swing with my little guy...
And Jake and The Band Rocked out..
(I would tell you the name of the band but it has changed SEVERAL times...)
And Dad even picked up one of the give-aways to brave the snow storm!!!

happy ♥ day!!!!
I don't have MUCH to say... we have been away snowboarding for a week and had a great time...
Ready to dig back into my clay and make some glazes but I've been up to my ears in laundry.
Still dealing with Dad stuff... just another part of my life now...
Heading down to Baltimore for the day on Wednesday...
Praying there won't be new snow issues.
Loved seeing Apollo Ono ...that speed skating is CRRRRRAZY!
I will eventually get back into posing more pottery/ceramic stuff...
Check out this article about the Harvey Meadows Gallery that I thought was cool!
