See what I get when I'm a smartypants?

Heh, it was me! There was a glitch in the system, or else Cory was working on the listing.

that sake cup looks like he could leap tall buildings in a single bound--or is that the drinker after a few...?

[quote="coloradopu"]love the new stuff
Q? do you ever use the black sand or green sand in your clay?[/quote
great question
no. the green is olivine that has been pulverized over a long time
the black sand is usually lavarock and unlike silica.
there are some people that are very superstitious about putting 'lava' rocks into your pieces.
i prefer not to use it

thanks joel
joel. thanks .Zygote wrote:hey Cory...
Great price mix on the Etsy site. The line up you've posted is fantastic!
as you know so well, so much work goes into each and every piece.
its difficult sometimes to put a price on a piece that comes out amazing. what the public doesn't see is the percentage of 'survivors' that come out amazing and the shard pile.
we're not talking electric firing here...
aloha , thank you kindly !

Cory, the porcelain slip you are using for some of the yunomi/guinomi looks matte in the interior of some of the pieces and cracking. Is this the lighting playing tricks with the eye or is that the way it came out?
One itsy bitsy criticism of your photos. Sometimes you have so much reflection hitting the items from your white paper and reflectors that the color of the items are obscured. Soda fired Yunomi taller teacup is the most pronounced of this effect. The photos are beautiful but buyers need to see the actual color. Love the work.

yeah, i left that image series in because this particular soda fired piece had this surface that was difficult to photograph, deep like bronze. i felt that people would know it was a reflection and that the reason i shot it like this was to show the layers of the translucency of the soda/glaze surface.
i'll shoot it again.
thank you for your insight. all criticism is appreciated.
mahalo, cory

thank tead
its porcelain slip applied with a rough brush. no cracks, i just looked at the rattle cup.Tead Off wrote:Cory, it's the same Yunomi we are talking about. The porcelain slip on the interior looks matte with cracking. I noticed this on another one but can't remember which piece.
i find some of my pieces very difficult to photograph. it seems they look better if you're holding them in your hand versus looking at a 2D photographic representation.
thanks
