Snail's Pace

My next project...

I painted the body with underglazes and then painted it with matte clear.  After firing, the surface was rife with crawling and shivering.  Into the bin.

Next I'm going to try stone finish glazes and colored matte glazes - no underglaze.  The shell is bright pink inside and pink stripes on the outside.  I will overglaze it with mother-of pearl when it come out of the first firing.

Well, that's the plan anyway...
