scratch graphics turning into sgraffito

5 layers of black slip let dry each layer

getting ready to add slip to bottom--note using a sponge brush

sgraffito is very messy--I use a box to catch most of it

scratch tools--tapestry needle, sgraffito tool, clean dry brush

Use brush to brush away debris

the beginning--most detail done right to left to keep from smudging

note debris on the right---keep it brushed into corner of box

last section

the debris looks like sand

thinking about last section

one last look for now---after this I will do the lid
