For my second year of potting I am attempting to re-make things i made in my first year. This is a color version of a #blackandwhite vase that worked out - although the teapot version was a total fail (see prior post)

I was told that every potter should make at least one #teapot Naturally, I got carried away and made the biggest fanciest teapot I could. Unfortunately, the engineering and moisture management were beyond my abilities. Feet cracked, handle broke off entirely.
Lessons learned:
1: have a damp box tall enough for your #WIP
2: cut all pieces before assembly
3: figure out how you will brace and support your piece during construction BEFORE construction begins

This cat cup was too heavy to start with. I almost saved it with the cobalt glazing, but had to go over the top and add gold to the eyes, which ultimately made it look like a crying kitty! Too sad! Currently redoing it and will restrain myself with the glaze.

In my second year of potting, I am trying to repeat pieces that were somewhat successful. After a couple of missteps, I was able to remake my #midcentury style vase - this time in Blue Yonder.

I found this gorgeous beaded appliqué in one of the trimming stores in the #losangeles #fabric district and raised my self-imposed limit of $5 per item to $7. Here it is in its first two iterations. They look great, but the rough surface restricts them to fruit bowl or ritual use.
