That's the same as driving from the north of Norway to Turkey!<br /><br />I'm glad you like the bowl Sans but I don't imagine for a moment that it's the equivalent of a museum piece :) I may have led you astry a little with the use of the term 'glaze' because that means something quite different in relation to pottery. I was referring to an artists glaze, with just the paint it was quite dull, the glaze gave it lustre. It's simply painted on as opposed to a 'normal' pottery piece which is dipped into the glazing liquid and fired. ADC is Air Drying Clay - no baking required! Thin pieces like this remain fairly fragile though, although several coats of glaze seems to help a little. I did another couple of 'bowl' pieces that same day so perhaps I'll post them too, altho they are quite differentNorma Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601307344195166189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390274485277393573.post-80016518366687640312009-12-02T13:18:14.534+11:002009-12-02T13:18:14.534+11:00If I travel very very fast, a 6 1/2 hour drive may...If I travel very very fast, a 6 1/2 hour drive may mean crossing 2 countries. It is a fact that if you drive for more than 1 1/2 hours in Singapore, you are likely already in Malaysia. <br /><br />This is the most exquisite mini art bowls I have seen in a long time. The last time was when I was at the Miniature Museum of Taiwan :). Please, Norma, show us how you make it. What is glazed ADC?<br /><br />I did a series of mini books on Iznik pottery and have been curious since then on the different glazing methods.Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390274485277393573.post-43405138939854481902009-12-02T11:59:04.188+11:002009-12-02T11:59:04.188+11:00Thanks, only 6 1/2 hours, so if I left after break...Thanks, only 6 1/2 hours, so if I left after breakfast I'd be in PLENTY of time for dinner :) I do love food, I just hate cooking!<br /><br />BTW - I think ONLY in Oz would a 6 1/2 hour road trip be preceded by 'ONLY' - LOLNorma Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601307344195166189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390274485277393573.post-40120919841264238792009-12-02T11:47:49.335+11:002009-12-02T11:47:49.335+11:00Awesome Norma, you'd never know it wasn't ...Awesome Norma, you'd never know it wasn't freeform stoneware lifesize!!

I had fun with this, there are about 4 colours in it altogether which were very 'watery' acrylic, each applied while the other was still wet so they formed a marbling effect where each resisted the other. My 'inspiration' was a photograph of an antique bowl, at first recreating that look was my intention but then I decided to emphasise the 'free form' edge by outlining it with gold. You are right Josje, it's clay (air drying) - perhaps one of these days I'll try polymer but a lot of the fun for me with clay minis is building up the paints to get the look I want. Besides, I'm not a fan of cooking even when it comes to food - so I'm not too keen to get into cooking plastic!Norma Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601307344195166189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390274485277393573.post-41396197140039366972009-12-02T04:06:21.869+11:002009-12-02T04:06:21.869+11:00Lovely bowl, great colours!
