June turned into July quickly this year, and I am just a few days away from flying to France! My palette needs to be washed and refilled, and the pencil case still is not closing - so some curation needs to happen (or a larger case would be found - I will let you know!) My plan is to share what colors and tools will go with me to Toulouse, and then what I ended up using or not using.
This is a present for a friend who is not online as much and is not reading this blog, so I am posting it before it is actually gifted to the recipient. I've been trying to nail the shape of a vase where the top half is larger than the bottom part, but I am still far from my goal. However, this one was a step forward, and I enjoyed making a new texture on the surface and experimenting with the way glazes pulled in the holes. (Spoiler - yellow did not pull as much as I hoped! Possibly because I dropped the whole vase in a bucket with glaze, which caused the layer to be too thick, and I sponged some of the extra glaze off - and, probably, overdid it).
