New Ones

There are new pieces I got this week.
1) This is from the entry, "New Design." Unfortunately, the glaze I used for this did not do what I wanted it to do. It came so even and clear! I wanted it to be more rustic,  some design obscured, and have black lines... Oh well, I will just have to draw a similar design and do it right next time.
2) I have been making this type of design lately and I like it. The glaze "Shirayuki" over cobalt gives nice look. I don't even mind smudged lines. 
3) I carved wood print rubber sheet to make multiple pieces with the same design. The glaze may be a bit too strong. But it is just a part of evolution of this line. On one side, there is a doe with an arrow above it and the other side, there is a stag with heart above it waiting to be shot though. With dark brown clay, I made mugs with the same design and with white glaze. It will have better contrast between the lines and the back ground.

new design

I am making stuff for Gowanus Nite Market for 12/08/12.
I decided not to go with many pieces because I just do not have time to produce that many and I am sharing a table with my friend, Yuki.  So, right now, I am just playing with a new design with cobalt underglaze. I am not sure what glaze I want to put over it though...
It is inspired by many things. I still like the loose "Karakusa"(唐草) or foliage scroll design. Putting the crescent moon above the stag's skull was my wife, Maysoun's idea. I hope it fires well.
