Went to the LKC Natural History Museum and saw these interesting shapes and textures...

I saw a beautiful tripod censer, and tried to recreate it. I think it came out rather well :D

Sea urchin inspired incense pot. Used the glaze at my teacher's studio called ice blue, which resulted in a gentle purple colour.
Small ceramic pot with a lid. The lid has a circular opening at the top. There is a small stud texture resembling sea urchin shell. The pot is made from white clay body, and glazed with a translucent light purple glaze. Small ceramic pot with a lid. The lid has a circular opening at the top.

The mudskipper and limpets to help wash the paint brush. Love how this turned up, and it's very useful.

Some ceramic hashioki (chopstick rest) made for my sister. Tried underglazing for the first time.
Six flat pebble-like ceramic pieces with two sides gently turned upwards. Each has cream-coloured glaze with one red flower. A pair of chopsticks resting on a flat pebble-like ceramic piece with two sides gently turned upwards. It has cream-coloured glaze with one red flower.

A bowl. One of the basic pieces I built using the coiling method. I chose the floating blue glaze, but it wasn't thick enough to show the blue colour. Glazing is tricky!

During my hand building course, my pottery teacher gave me a task of creating a two-plate set that can stack. And this is the result.
#slabbuilt #ceramic #stoneware #pottery
Two stoneware plates with a muted green glaze. One is slightly smaller than the other. There are swirl patterns carved into the plate's surface. Two stoneware plates with a muted green glaze.

This was meant to be a container in the shape of 'umibozu' a large head emerging from the sea. But the glaze didn't drip as I hoped. It looks like the Iron Giant instead, so I guess it's ok?

Stoneware rabbit. Most of the other pieces of pottery I made so far are functional, but this one is not. It was made using a pinch pot technique.

My friend's cat, Hue. I thought I messed up the painting by using too many colours, but I think it turned out well, giving subtle colour variation to her very interesting coat.

An acrylic painting of a cat's face on a 10 x 10 cm MDF board. The cat is a gray-brown tabby with subtle hints of blue, red and yellow on different parts of the fur patterns. The background is a gradient of blue and grey-green. Fine details of whiskers and fur are painted with a fine brush.

I'm trying to paint my cat! This is still a work in progress! I hope things go well.
The board is painted blue with various shades and the cat is 3/4 done. The cat is grey with some warm browns. I don't know the breed of the cat, so I can't say. But it's not a fluffy cat. The cat is board is now painted off white. And there are blocks of colours in the cat sketch. An A5 wooden board painted orange with a sketch of a cat on it.

Stoneware project I recently brought home. A 'tokkuri' for Nihonshu (Japanese rice wine). Hand built using a coiling technique.

More than 10 years ago, we fostered a male rabbit. We named him Dusty. He was adopted after a few months.

WIP tidal pool-themed mug for washing my paint brush. The fish and limpet texture will help with washing and cutting water off the brush hopefully?
