I have a glaze that has gone
off from its original colors....but this strikes me as a great way to go
off:) These muted greens and pinks,blues and golds are amazing. I like naming my series by the glaze visual properties and this one just cries out to me...tomb robber! I had thought about the
Old Hags Bag, or
Tomb Robber, or
Grave Digger.

I can visualize a Victorian coffin breaking open and finding these treasures, old and crusty with age. Perhaps I have been watching too many Jeremy Britt's Sherlock Holmes series, or old black and white horror movies. There is also the Poe influence that I have been dancing around with ravens and bugs for a few months:) (Just bought the most wonderful Raven Ink and Brush on paper from Belvedere Beads. )

My kiln is back on tract, and I am enjoying the mystery of what will come out of the fire next. If you get a chance to visit my shop, you will see what I mean. There is no rhyme or reason to the colors right now...but I have learned to go with the flow. Though these are not what I expected in any way, shape or form...but they are still Wondrously Strange:)
Any suggestions for naming this glaze series??? Thanks for your comments!!
this dry matt is working great..is it the atmosphere causing the changes instead of just the glaze?
ReplyDeletei like something a little more obscure for a title like old hags bag..mummy bundle,ravens hoard, etc.
not grave digger so much
those colors are wonderful, what a way to go off!!!
ReplyDeletei love tomb robber I think it suits the mood of these little treasures perfectly!
I like "Grave Digger", it's a great name! Wonderful pieces!
ReplyDeleteLove the collar. Beautiful color and the "in" thing, especially this time of year.
ReplyDeletemaybe something about mists in a graveyard? I love the muted colors, damn I think I might have to lurking about in your shop again...
