Hello there; I love your work! What a cool idea. Is the pot leathery hard? Are the bottles filled with different colored slip? What did you add to the red colored one? The first bottle is filled with a thicker solution and the second thinner and the third thinner still? I think your work is beautiful!
I love it! I have never seen anything like this before! Is the pot newly thrown or is it leatherhard? What do you have in the bottles? Coloured slip? Is the first "slip" thicker than the next etc? Or is it just the thickness of the spout of your different bottles that makes the "lines" look thinner? Thank you so much for sharing!
You will find a broom bristle(get one from your studio broom)works better to drag the feather line along.your needle works ok,but there's more drag with a bristle ,or indeed a real feather stripped to leave only the end feathered bit,like a writing quill,using the other end..you get a longer drag ,less scratch.
Wow! That feathering! Never seen it done on the vertical. I wonder what that will look like pushed out with a throwing stick...bwah, hah, hah, hah, he said.
Beautiful. I saw similar Ukrainian decoration on a bowl; but I liked how you used the needle tool to jazz things up. Wonderful! PS: if someone wants to see the RU-vid Ukrainian video just search on: Flendrivka-rareUkrainian pottery decoration style
