The coil pot has finally been glazed and fired! I dipped this pot in the Chun Plum and Blue Rutile glazes. See if you can find the hidden heart in the design! Well, in truth, I did not hide it. After dipping the pot in Chun Plum, I painted wax resist over the heart so that no blue would get on it. That way, it is a surprising little pop of red underneath the swirls.
I think I am happy with my coil pot, though the blue separated itself from the plum more than I expected. This would be prevented in the future by not putting that combination of glazes on a coil pot. You can see from the picture that the blue has sunk into the lines made by the coils and swirls.
Update on my extra credit project, the glazed pencil holder:
