I let the pots rest today...I am fearful that they aren't as good as I hope. A bit of doubt in myself. So I worked on the tiles for other projects. I plan three or four panels (ceramic tiles, 27mm x 30mm) for the Insomnia series. I finished two of that size. I also want two panels for the Optical Illusion series and made one. I made one tile of an odd size which I will use for a commission for a 'bugs and flowers' piece.
I contacted a photographer to take the pictures for submission to the "Flow and Control" show at the Encaustic Conference in Mass. so I feel really good about that. I
must have the work ready by Saturday or Sunday lest I run out of time. That means hit it every day!
This is one of the pieces I feel is finished...this is not the final piece but close. It is about 5" tall, raku fired with encaustics flowed over and allowed to drip off the top edge. Obviously, I fused it upside-down so the wax would run 'up'. It is small but quite interesting. I hope to use the same techinque on a larger vessel...we'll see.
