I painted a slip (a suspension of clay and pigment) on these new masks before I bisqued fired them...like an under-painting. Today I painted a combination of an ultra flat blue green matt glaze with a blue shiny glaze. Not sure how it will turn out, but that's part of the excitement. I'll have to wait a couple of days to find out. Now it's all up to the kiln gods...
I started this blog while living in Portland, Oregon. I had learned how to crochet hats and found the process creative and meditative. One sunny afternoon while crocheting in a park downtown, a kid on a skateboard asked me, “Is that one of your passions?” His comment made me realize that I wanted promote that idea. I decided to start this blog to explore creative passions. For me, its all about color, shape and texture.
