More Pottery

Here are a few more pieces of pottery that I made, this time I tried carving out designs into the clay before firing it.  This first piece is now being used as a pencil holder.

The carving effect didn’t turn out as nicely as I would have liked… so, I will have to try another technique with the glazing when I attempt this again.  You can see only a faint shadow of the henna pattern that I attempted to carve into this piece.  I want the carvings to show up more clearly.

I use this blue piece to hold some of my makeup brushes.  I am going to try and attempt to make larger pieces now because everything that I’ve made so far basically fits in the palm of my hand.
