in the midnight hour
It is very late and I decided to take a quick photo of Shadow. It is fuzzy. Kind of like my brain at the moment. I made some red clay slip for the top half using some throwing slurry. The new batch of terra sigillata shines up with little buffing. I added some Duncan Cobalt Jet Black underglaze to make a charcoal gray. It doesn't take much, but it settles down quickly. So stirring is very important. I use this commercial underglaze because it is very fine. If I use a stain then I would need to ball mill the terra sigillata to keep the shine. I do not own a ball mill (like a rock tumbler.) This works for me. It is fast and quiet.
Clanking sounds at midnight
tumbling porcelain balls
a yawn slips in
