After two years...maybe three...languishing in a box on a wardrobe I've finally finished some pots!! I didn't want to glaze them this time because access to a kiln is limited and I wanted to see what else I could do. So, being a bit artsy fartsy I wanted to retain their 'integrity' as earthbound objects...hmmm...so chose to use pigments and beeswax polish and a little ink, and I think it worked;-) I did go a bit off message and use some 'treasure gold' which is really just wax coloured gold so not too bad. I like that effects can be achieved that would be difficult if not impossible with glazing (and too advanced for me!). To me these have a look of artefacts from some imaginary period when dinosaur eggs met Byzantine artisans...oh dear, all this polish must have gone to my head...anyway, here they are!
