I glazed the fish and shells in the bowl and fired them at 1030 C. And then it was time to decide what glaze to use for the sea.
I could have gone for blue. I could have gone for green.
But.
I went for orange.
Oh My.
I shall put it in my trusty dustbin!
And see if smoke firing it will knock the edge off a bit…

I love the orange but I think you are right to knock it back a bit. I had hoped it would turn out more like the pomegranates – a deeper tone than this. If the shells weren’t so stark it would probably work better as it is. But it is a beautiful bowl – please persevere.

Yes, I see what you are saying; with the pomegranates I use a bit of coral red glaze as well; it gives a deeper tone. I didn’t with this bowl. It would be an option to re-glaze adding the red…or…. Go for the smoke fire trick. Or play with the shells a bit…Hm. Thanks for your visit, it is lovely to share the agony! ;-))

Glazing is still a bit of a mystery to me. I really appreciate you sharing your processes, as it can only help me as I learn.

Agree with mississhippi about the lovely colour of your pomegranates – but would be intrigued to see the smoke firing too, as the shells might not take over the view so much if lightly kippered. The bowl looks very promising though – follow up both lines separately?

Yes, I think a slight kippering is of the essence. Only snag is that the bowl may break in the smoke firing. But. Needs must. I’ll post a picture of the result.

OK, color me weird, but I liked your avant garde use of the orange. It reminded me of a red tide.

I just chucked it in my bin and set fire to it…I’ll post the result tomorrow, it may survive the inferno.

Anna, I love how you fire your pieces like this. The action photography of this piece smoking/firing in the bin is just fantastic. It makes me so want to be there to watch it all happen! I agree w/Lynda just above – I like the avante-garde orange and the final result!
