These came out of the kiln



Hello dear readers,

These are from the batch I left for Nilly to fire with her own work in her kiln. 
I made them during my visit to her studio.   Just played with the clay, created
a ball, stuck a short piece of a wooden skewer in its middle and moved the
ball around it to make an opening.  While the pieces were still wet,
I stuck on clay leaves which I market with a needle.  Pinched the opening of
one of the vases and it looks as if its borders are almost being torn out.

The pieces are not glazed or painted. I rather like them the way they are as if
carved out of stone.


They were still wet when I left and therefore not sanded.  My second batch
will look better because I made it at home with no hurry and sanded it after it
was dry.  Since I have no plans to give them away, they'll serve as examples for
my future work with clay.





Nilly and husband are flying to Europe tomorrow and will not be back before mid-June, so
the little houses and other items will have to wait until then.

I wish you all a wonderfully creative week ahead with blessings.

  6. Quedan realmente bonitos, Drora, y me hacen pensar ¿sabes en qué? En teteras! Quedarían encantadoras unas teteras con esa tecnica cuando ya tengas jarrones suficientes. ¿Te gusta la idea? Tienes que enseñarnos alguno de esos jarrones con flores :) Un beso

  12. Only talented people like you will find beautiful vases and pots with stunning decors in a lump of clay! These don't look like firsties at all! Somehow sad that you have to interrupt your clay working flow now - but I have no doubt you will continue it as soon as Nilly is back from a hopefully nice trip to Europe.

    Hugs

  15. I love seeing your mini work with clay, Drora! I've previously worked with ceramic clay and found it quite difficult. I also don't like the fact that it's such a time consuming process, I'm much too impatient!
