My ceramic pieces - 2 bowls

I have tried to make a similar bowl to the plate made by A Plate A Week .

I love the simplicity of it, although I must say that I am not happy with my results, so this bowl is a test piece. I have resprayed it hoping for clearer lines. If this will work, I think i will make a series of bowls like this, with bananas, apples, kiwi, etc. Another bowl turned to test piece. One of these days I will make something that I am happy with. The decorating technique worked this time, but I am not happy with the texture. It is way to "rough" and prominent in the areas where stems were thick and strong. Not too keen on it, although S seems to like it. I have resprayed it with four different semitranslucent glazes, to see what effect may be achieved. I will definitely redo this bowl, as the effect is brilliant.

My first ceramic pieces

Pod - earthenware, mould form and hand formed, cobalt and copper oxides and clear glass. I wanted a bit more contrast between the glass and clay, I think I should have painted copper oxide, not just sprinkle it. Next time ;)

Shell - earthenware, mould form, sprayed with blue-pink and white glazes. I was hoping for better gradient and more pink, but I cannot compain, I was told that blue-pink glaze is quite temperamental, could be worse.

Test piece - just playing with some sludge. I want to create some more organic form. I noticed one has to be very, very patiant with this technique, as rush work just goes haywire. I think next time, I will try more dense sludge though.
