Tulip vase or Tulip vases?

I've just come back from the pottery class completely exhausted, but reasonably happy with the result. No glazing as yet as that is done just before there is a firing and let's face it my little pots aren't going to decide when that is!

Remember this?




Is  now this..














I suppose it's about half way, as it still needs the spouts on the top pot, some decoration on the base of the obelisk so it will stay in place and scrolls on the corners of the base pot, probably a touch bigger that the one I tried out on the left hand corner. You'll have to enlarge the photo to see it. I have to keep reminding myself that it will shrink about 10-15% on the first firing.

Happy mini-time,   Idske

  4. Wow, i love these vases in real and to see you progress in the build of a miniature version is a real joy! Quite a challenge but if successful you'll be rewarded with a great piece!!! Cos many stages where it can go wrong i suspect ... brrr, best of luck, but your last post looks very promising :)
