Floral (dahlia) inspired stoneware garden pieces

And here are the finished fired pieces that I was glazing at the weekend. Unfortunately they are not good enough to be able to sell, some cracks and bits fallen off (which are disguised in the photos!) But they are good enough as prototypes now I have worked out the best way to build them so they hold up during the firing processes.

Here's the one with aqua-blue glass detail...

And finally here's some detail of the glaze - taken with my squidcam macro lens. The glaze reacts well with this clay and shows some of the buff colour and reacts with the iron(?) in the grog to give a speckled effect. It also shows a delicate crackle when seen close up.
