Ceramics -- Birdhouse
This birdhouse was thrown on the wheel and then the surface was incised with a bamboo tool and paddled. The glaze was Rod's Green when tends to be quite transparent and to show off any design. I finished it by gluing in a little branch that birds can land on, along with four strands of string to keep it from falling out of the tree. It is 5 inches high.
Ceramics -- Covered Jar
This covered jar was thrown on the wheel. It is 3 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. The glaze is Million Dollar Yellow brushed over Utah Red. I especially like the randomness of the drips and pools of glaze.
Ceramics -- Teacup
This teacup is wheel thrown using "Rod's Bod" clay. The speckles in glaze are from the specks of iron oxide in the clay. The glaze was Utah Red over Zeller White. It is 3 inches high and 3 1/2 inches wide. I especially like the accidental smudges and pools of glaze. I wouldn't want it to look completely uniform.
