More pottery

This is the little plate I made using some underglazes and a black underglaze pen.  My goodness, that underglaze pen was tough.  It has 4 different tip sizes, but it is difficult to control and will suddenly spurt a big glob of underglaze.  Yuck.  It was bisque fired to cone 06, then glazed with clear aand fired to cone 6.  I was surprised how brown the background clay came out. 


I actually made the next bowl over 5 years ago at Pam's.  I used to go to her house once a week for a pottery lesson until Boone got sick.  It wasn't until about 9 months ago that I started trying pottery again.  I added the little trim around the rim.  It's glazed in Randy's Red.  It's ok, but it has so many imperfections, it's not a fav of mine.
