But, I figure one bad photo is better than none at all when explaining what I've been working on. So... here is my cookie jar. You'll see the Chartreuse sprigs on it and these are the color clay I've been experimenting with. I made up a chartreuse batch along with a sort of orange peach color and it seems that on some of the finials, it looks kind of burned. I guess I have to ask myself if there if to much mason stain in the clay body or is the mason stain I'm using not enjoying being a body stain. I've often cautioned my students with the use of stains and weather you can put them in a glaze or not. I've seen mason stains that are to be used in only a clay body bubble up when added to a liquid base. I guess I didn't take my own advise and I need to consult my chart. ( I love my mason stain chart!)
We had a very busy weekend and this week will be the same. This weekend is also the Clay work Spring sale. If your out and about in Charlotte please come by and see what the students have been up to!

Oh, I like the chartreuse, especially with the turquoise. I need one of those charts. I have been experimenting willy nilly with mason stains and oxides, but trying to apply a little logic into the mix, even it it is faulty logic.
I love mason stains..so much you can do with them!Jen
As i said earlier i love the aqua collection and the cookie jar is really cute... but when u take a pic make sure that their is a well lit background and try to avoid flash as it makes the pic look really bad..Since their is no proper lighting the pic lacks depth and the image is not whtt u wanted it to look like...
