Another of the Seven sided series. Porcelain. The patch was my red river clay, high iron. I burnished it in, then burnished more Porcelain over the top.
Some Sand too.
The Black Panels and inside are so black due to the Terra Sigillata. This is an ancient technique as well, utilizing the finest of clay particles in a slip(surface cover) which can be easily burnished. In this case, Kentucky Old Mine #4 Ball Clay. Sodium Silicate, or "water glass" is added to a slurry of the clay as a deflocculant. This causes particles to more rapidly separate, after 21 hours, the mixture has 3 distinct layers of water, fine clay, and larger clay. The middle fine particles are siphoned for use.
May or may not notice this was altered from the last time we saw it, broke a bit, but saved, but, broke again. But Beautiful.
