INTERRUPTED RHYTHM

Despite the fact that the way I am faceting pieces creates a distinct and somewhat unpredictable pattern around a piece, I have been working on simple and fast ways to further interrupt the rhythm of the surface and in this particular case I simply added an additional angled facet to every other boundary. This wasn't any momentous addition or move but it does seem to break up the overall flow just enough to make the eye pass over the surface a bit differently than it would without the added half facets. Thrown out of about two pounds of clay and just over six inches wet the surface is further broken up a bit using grog in the clay, something I don't do too often as it is murder on the calluses on the hands but I like the effect especially under transparent glazes. It never ceases to amaze me how such a small detail can change the entire look of a pot or anything else for that matter.
