This is quite a small jar and stands with it’s lid at 25 cm in the raw, so it is going to be even smaller when finished. Cream slip over the dark red clay for the background and coloured decorating slips with all the plants cut in to reveal the dark clay body. This is so far from lump of clay beginning just 23 hours, I guess another 5 hours to finish the decoration and glaze. I have used a lot of colours, everything from yellow to green and gray, but no blue at all. It is drying out far too much so I have to finish tomorrow but here it is at this stage.

Another beauty from your studio, how wonderful and again time consuming, but you must love it. Reading your blog I will have to start learning centimeters and celsius, soon you will have me ambidextrous.
Thanks for the explanation of the copper slip from the previous post. I now think I recall a previous post where you had one of your gray colors on another ray - strange how it is blue and turns gray after firing.
I wish I didn't have such a large garden to take care of here I could make so much more in clay, hopefully we will sell one of these days soon and then I will have more time for clay than gardens, can't wait.
Looking forward to your next firing.
Fantastic imagery! Cant wait to see it finished!
