Molasses Moon

[HorseloverFat]

Alrighty Folks!

Here is a Crescent pot...

Textured, with a "Molasses (I guess that's what I'm calling it ) " glaze, applied in "High-road fashion, in an attempt to highlight some deeper texture with the lighter color of the clay body. (Also a Buff, whols-sand glaze around that lip)

For transparency, I will discuss the WORST facets of any fabrication...

My problems with this one ;

I should have "finished" the inside better.. those drape folds aren't "cool" like I THOUGHT they'd be

Also.. overworked foot bottoms.. a small issue that i've noticed and will NOT be happening anymore.

I'd like to get 35 USD for this one.. (before shipping)

Thank you for looking!

Drape molds are fabulous. You just need to rib the surface smooth before you drape the clay.

Agreed!.or even/also AFTER... While I WILL be doing this from now on,. I meant like the "Folds"..when I drape over more "natural shapes".. I have to rib the transitions smooth.. because I do not like the... the "folds". HAHAHA!

I have to smooth out the folds on nearly every pot I make using this method. As you are aware it requires presence.

Indeed.. I found this all out after finally being able to fire.... and observe all the pieces I made over winter.

The next time around will be even better!

Finally got a chance to use one. I was training this tree as a cascade but it wasn't looking all that great. I decided to repot it into a training pot, change the angle and just allow it to regain some health. The root ball was much healthier than I thought it would be so I decided to use this pot instead. It should look great as it fills back in.

@HorseloverFat are you still making pots? I used it in a YouTube video. I can put a link in my description if you have an Etsy or anything like that.

DEFINITELY! I throw pots in the winter!!!

I have 15, raw-glazed and ready for firing.. I was aiming for 25 to fund my kiln... But I guess one more year of small kiln it'll have to be!

I will start firing once I start getting 12 hour spurts around 50 dF.

I will be trying to set up an Ebay store soon!! For ceramics AND plants.. but normally I can only fire like 8-10 pots at a time.. less if they are bigger.. so they normally sell here on BNut just fine.

But when I get all the soft-brick I need to make my big, propane beast... My production will increase.

I will keep you informed, friend!
