WHAT'S NEXT

Illustrated is a recent etched teabowl with spirals and slashes design. This was glazed in a clear glaze with the golden brown amber over it and I am a bit enthralled with all the running, streaking that creates an almost holographic effect. The design under the glaze is clearly visable which is always a plus and the glaze creates a distinct sense of movement which abruptly stops at the widest point of the bowl, the transition between the main part of the form and the decending base culminating in the foot. Beyond the etched decoration, the rich deep, dark amber is probably the most eye catching feature which truth be told is hard to miss, though it wasn't intentional it couldn't have happened at a better place exactly where the design ends. Unfortunatley my mind is now wondering, what else, what's next in relation to this glaze because naturally, I won't be content until I screw it up.
