Belle bells all in a row...

Belle bells all in a row...

Another 'love'ly littlebelle.

First image is looking down from a 45 degree angle to show a small, white and black speckled clay, pinch pot bell. The top of the bell is flattened off with three small heart imprints that have been filled with a warm pink glaze, the same glaze is used to highlight the cracked rounded edge of the outlet of the bell. There are two beads in the same pink glaze strung on the black suede cord, which hang out of focus below the bell. The background is a deep forest green, well work workbench door with a dribble of black paint in the top left third of the image running parallel to the bells black cord. Appearing to run behind the bell horizontally are two parallel straight white paint lines helping focus the eye on the bell.
.
The second image is in eyeline with the bell showing better detail of the two pink beads hanging from the bell. The upper of the two beads is imprinted with hearts alternating upright and upside down. These are the same heart imprints from the top of the bell not visible from this angle.
The second and lowest bead is linef with vertical imprints, causing variegated colour of darker and lighter pink glaze where it has pooled in the grooves and darkened.
The black drop and white lines in the background of this shot still serve to draw attention and focus, much like an exclamation point to the comparatively plain bell.
Not especially visible in either shot is the fabric imprint left on the outside of the unglazed bell.

Little Bell, hanging in there.

First image depicts a roughly formed ceramic bell that is a rather truncated, and very squished conical shape, made in slightly cool white clay with a black speckle embedded in the clay. It has been textured with fabric and has hand painted black shiney glaze in verticle stripes around its middle section, and black dots in a ring above and below the lines, offset to centre with the gap between the lines. It is strung with black suede cord and has one unglazed, white speckled clay, flat, squared off oval shaped bead at the outlet of the bell (to "tingle") and one black faceted bead at the bottom. It is shown against a well worn deep forest green painted workbench front.
Second image shows a closer version of the top of the bell that shows its flattened oval squared off shape, as well as the fabric imprint detail, and the top 'corner' of the bell that has been softened with impressions from an oblong implement.
The third image shows the half sphere black glazed domed bead in the deeper chamber /top of the bell that provides bulk of the chiming sound due to its proximity with the bell walls.
The third and fourth image both show the bell laying down on the paint splattered wooden top of the workbench, revealing it's 'inner workings'. Both the third and fourth image show the same fabric detailing on the outside of the bell is also applied to the flattened unglazed white bead at the mouth of the bell, and the roughly rounded 1cm diameter carved faceted bead. The geometric edges of the faceted bead are highlighted by the slight translucency of the black glaze which has run off the edges of the facets slightly.

The first image depicts a white hand holding a small shot sized ceramic cup in dark brown clay with canvas texture and a thumb impression. The bottom centimetre or so of the cup has been carved away with a knife leaving geometric facets whilst the rest of the cup body is cylindrical and uniform in texture.
Second image shows a close up of the inside of the cup against a green background: the inside of the cup is a swirling mass of black, turquoise, green and purple.

I must have changed a setting on my camera. It really saturated some shots.. Tried to tone it down a bit.. But it's still not quite accurate on the pink... 🙄

Farts. I hate it when I fall in love with something this much. 😶
This one features a panel of hammered texture like I learnt from @josh.the.jeweller @jewelleryclasses.at.scornish and also.. For the first time I didn't bother to photograph every shelf on the way in or way out of the kiln.. So I'm not sure if the high gloss panels are from sitting next to something with glaze, or from sitting right next to the wall of elements. 🙄 Lesson learnt. Photos are my notes. 🙄📝 Anyway. So happy with the cut of this jib...

I've always loved photographing patterns left by leaf shadows. Seems fitting to use it for demonstrating the translucency of porcelain. ☺️

Spent a while trying to find the best way to show the translucency of this porcelain piece. These are some of the good ones from on my side fence in the brief bit of direct sun yesterday... I'll share my favourite shortly. ☺️ It deserves a post on its own. ☺️
