Happy Mother's Day everyone!

P.S. Mud Colony 

Colored Clay

I couldn't bother with Dry Weight, SG and all the calcalution.  I just did the quick and dirty. Assuming dry weight is 80% of wet clay weight, then add 5% stain. Will see if this dirty trick works.

I am a copy-cat this week, copying from this video on my rounds on Youtube. I didn't follow it to the T.  I did it sort of off the top of my head and it looks great to me.

Home as Studio - Nerikomi - my version

Seriously I'm a hard-core ceramics enthusiast.  That's a different story that I'll talk in great details at another time. 

I watched this video post by Musing About Mud the other day and I have been dying to try it out. I knew whatever I do, it would not be as sophisticated. It takes a lot of planning, getting everything right and practice. 

Time flies when I'm at the studio. I only got maybe 20% done when it was time to leave.  So I decided to take everything home with me, otherwise the clay would be way too dry and it would ruin the whole thing. 

Working at home with raw clay is such a messy process. The challenge is that I don't have a work space. Working on the sofa with coffee table into the middle of the night really was not the best situation. 

But the best part is I get to check on my work this morning and hopefully is successful at repairing a few cracks. 

It looks messy now. But the pattern and colour can be cleared up with some sanding.
