Lustre glaze

I made this a few weeks back, a thrown stoneware clay bowl dipped in Jill's white glaze.
To give it more wow-factor (assuming it works), I coated the outside & rim with a mother-of-pearl lustre designed for low firing (<<1000C).....

After firing, the effect is BETTER than I expected!! The difference between lustre & plain white glaze is really noticeable around the rim but that same iridescence is on the outside too.
Love it + it's one of my better thrown pieces.....

Sgraffito

So far, this sgraffito tile is working better than I hoped!!

Just added a light "wash" (1 brushed layer) of turquoise alkaline semitranparent glaze hoping for an inky night effect......

The turquoise looks more green than blue but it looks great anyway - perhaps apply glaze thicker?

Two-handled jug

Thrown earthenware. Glazed with honey all over, and then matt black on the outside only - gives a dark-purply colour (I think - I'm colour-blind).

Two mugs

Two earthenware mugs, thrown. Both painted in white slip, and glazed with earthenware transparent glaze. (The camera flash makes them look like whiter than they do in real life, when they are quite a yellowy-off-white colour.) 

The one on the left has sgraffito marks scratched on (using a bamboo pen). I did it freehand though and it's a bit too wobbly for my liking. The mug on the right had its top dipped in black slip. I really don't like this mug - the shape is ugly (too much of a curve for what is quite a small squat little mug), and the glaze has bubbled horribly over the black slip. (If the glaze hadn't bubbled, then I would have preferred the mug if I had poured black slip inside too, so that the whole inside was black.)

jug and mug

Both thrown in earthenware. The mug was painted with white slip, and then black slip flicked on using a paintbrush (brush didn't touch the cup), which left a black streak like a dead worm. Then glazed with earthenware transparent glaze. 

The jug was glazed in creamy titanium - this can look really simple and lovely, but I wasn't careful enough with the glazing here - you can see the fingermarks - and the jug has ended up looking a bit scrappy and dirty as a result. Maybe I should have used glazing tongs.
