Still working on mastering majolica and continuing to have pretty good results. I’m taking a break from lemons here (but they will be back in force, never fear!). I got interested in peas for two pasta bowls and two salad bowls. I also tried another herb shredder and was thrilled with the result. It reminded me a bit of an abstract photo I once made of an iris garden on a rainy day. On the fruit bowl, I began experimenting with combining techniques: majolica and mishima (carving out the wet clay, then inlaying underglaze to get crisp lines). The outside of the bowl is mishima. I liked it, although not necessarily the muddiness that occurred from wiping away the excess black underglaze. I came up with a fix for next time. You’ll have to wait for next time.
