bowls!

 The texture on the outside of this bowl was made by pressing a lace tablecloth into the wet clay and then painting it with Mango mason stain mixed with water.  After it was all dry I rubbed the outside with a scrubby to have the texture show through.

 Cracked....but arn't we all a little.  It cracked when drying on the mold but I went ahead and fired it to see how it would look.  I spent an entire day extruding little triangular tubes and placing them next to each other and making a coil to slice really thin and place that around the mold.  The inside was then painted with slip made from mason stain.

 you can see the triangles here.  Mango, yellow and black.

 This bowl was hand painted using Velvet glazes.
