I don't believe in suspense so I'll just tell you: nothing broke and everything was transformed. It wasn't what I was expecting/hoping for, but I think I kind of love it anyway.

The red is from the copper wire. The black is from the smoke and the iridescence, I am pretty sure, is from the salts. The vase was a test piece, one of the first ones I made, and it's not going in the show as it doesn't fit the theme, so I'm keeping it, which is nice, because it's the best so far. Although they are all sort of wonderful. I hope you agree.
Wow! Not at all what I expected but it looks really cool. How many pieces did you do? Are there any to do another day?

ReplyDeleteSerious fun and beauty and magic and chemistry! I'm glad that nobody suffered singed eyebrows or worse...I like the communal aspect of digging and eating with friends before firing. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteWill you make any changes for round 2?
