What has interested me lately?
Something I have recently seen and am very interested in trying is using either marbles or broken bottle glass and putting it into a project so that it melts into the clay. I have been thinking that I might try this out and possibly make a pattern in the bottom of one of my dishes or something and see if the glass will melt into the grooves and create a cool design.
I have really been having fun with mandalas lately. I used stain to create one on the bottom of the large fruit bowl I made my sister and it turned out pretty cool. I definitely want to do this again, but I think I'll pick a different design next time. Probably one with less detail in the center, but more detail on the edges. That way it does not get as squished in the middle and it will hopefully look neater. I will also use less stain next time so that it doesn't smear.
