POLAROID TRIANGLE

Today has been a rather busy day, first up really early and out to run some errands including a stop at the infamous big box store and then it was on to glazing. I broke up a fairly large number of pots in to four groups and set about waxing and getting each group base glazed into its designated glaze. This took up all of my day so I thought I would just put up a rather inspirational pot, this thrown and altered triangular pot by Michael Simon. Way back when we acquired this pot, through polaroid pictures I should mention, I was aware of Michael's thrown work, his faceted pieces and his square pots so this triangular one interested us right away. The deep blue harlequin style decoration really breaks up the triangular form and the light addition of salt fuming and residue make for a soft and blushed surface and has always been welcome perched up on a shelf through quite a number of moves and has been carefully packed and later retrieved through all those moves and all those houses helping us create a perfect environment  filled with pots and more than a few books, CDS and DVDS as well.
