This is my lidded project! It's made of porcelain and I used a ball tool to create a nice pattern of dots which when fired created an effect where the bottom glaze (in this case white) bubbled to the top when it was glazed and created this legit faded, blobby, dotted look. I feel like the mood of this piece is almost spiritual? That sounds really arrogant (my projects make people see God), but in all honesty this project makes me think of when you stare up at the stars on a really clear night but you start to get tired and they all fade together in beautiful swirls and blurry lights. It's a serene mood. A calm sense of safety. And I'm excited I found out about this technique, now I can use it on more projects!
