week 40 - Blob bowl continued

My blob bowl is looking good - I refined it a bit more today, smoothed the inside and base, gave it the scalloped edge (which was really the only kind of edge which made sense) and generally finished off the piece as much as I could without 'fiddling' to much. I was worried about getting bits of coloured clay on the croxton clay that would not be visible until after firing so I just stopped messing with it. Anyway I am quite pleased with this! So after I had finished that, I thought it might be nice to make a second one, so I did!



I had a bit of coloured clay left over, so I made a few thin braids (plaits) and pressed it into some croxton and then cut a few Xmas decorations for myself, in case all the other Xmas decorations sell!
