Versatile Blue Series #3 Now 45% Cheaper [ZlgW4BG2]

Inspiration:
First, raw colorant is wedged little by little into the porcelain to create a consistent pigmented ball of clay to start with. After throwing the on the wheel, the piece is trimmed. Following this, when the clay is at a leather-hard stage of drying, I take a plastic bristled brush and stipple the surface akin to the texture of a chenille bedspread. Then, once the cup is bone dry, I take shellac and freehand paint intuitive designs onto the surface. Once that dries, I carefully water carve the vessel using a wet sponge. The piece went through 2 firings and 1 additional firing for gold luster teeth at the lip. The process of stippling and water etching the surface is very meditative and slow.
