Poetry in the ordinary

Usually pasta in progress involves a pot of boiling water.

I've got seven coats of the silver clay brushed onto these. A couple of more should do it. I should be able to fire them tomorrow night and then we'll see if this is gonna work.

I did some research on patina today. The gold color is the first stage when developing patina with liver of supher. Tips included using with cool water instead of warm or hot (which hastens the darkening process) and to be ready to scoop them right out and rinse before they get too dark.

Hopefully the next pictures I post will be a bit more attractive!
