2nd Cascade Vase - Finished

New name: Waterfall Vase

Finished vase after firing. I think the cascade areas look like a waterfall so I've renamed it. It's been an interesting and fun experiment using the clear cascade glaze under the colors of these vases.

2nd Cascade Vase -- Step 2

I've used the turntable to paint the stripes in a cooler range of colors than the first vase. You can see the demarcations of the underlying cascade glaze.

I'm hoping it runs fairly evenly. We'll see.

Also note the new photo backdrop. What do you think?

2nd Cascade Vase - Step 1

I'm making another vase with the runny or "cascade" glaze.

First I taped off areas I didn't want to run (white areas). Then I painted 4 coats of the cascade glaze in the exposed areas (gray). I've increased the area sizes of the cascade areas from the last time. I also increased it from 2 coats to 4. Now I'll need to paint the color glazes over the whole thing. I'm thinking of using cool colors this time.

Experimental Vase part 2

It didn't run as much as I wanted. If I do it again I'll try 3-4 coats of the runny glaze instead of just 2.

And maybe bigger runny areas too.
