These are just lovely children Cory and I am thinking we got to pre-fire pictures of them also. Lovely.

i really like that plate. and, i can't wait to fire some of my pieces on shells next firing, both glazed and unglazed surfaces. i like the effects you are getting with the shells.

i'd like to share a couple interesting test pieces

interesting biidoro on the sides and rim of two guinomi.

the biidoro on the rim guinomi was fired upside down on shells. fun.

the other is a teapot. work in progress. i chopped it, the handle looked too bulky. i sort of like the form of the reeds... i usually stain the handles w/ wood stain.

This teapot is very interesting . The inside seems to be small , how much "dl " can you put inside ? I like the net stucture and the handle that remember it.... i hope you will go on with that experimentation :D

thanks michael !

gingko. thanks . its more a sculptural form. not a double wall. but that's a great idea !

yy, i like the handle falling apart. actually i cut it to remove to make a smaller one that 'fit' better. i usually use a dark wood stain over the reeds to make it 'blend' more.

thank you !

Very cool guinomi, Cory! ?Soda ash Shino?

So, is the pot decorative and non functional?

chip

thanks !

totally functional !

guinomi sized tho.

i'll photograph the inside area where the seashells contacted the piece. the guinomi on the left was fired upside down on shells, causing the woodash to flow towards the lip of the guinomi.

that guinomi is around 2 inches high. thanks for looking !
MAHALO !
