The past few day I have been having fun with the mould I made the other day. I bought this bucket of liquid porcelain clay a few months ago & I have been eager to use it.I experimented with coloring the porcelain clay with oxides and stains & I generally fooled around like a happy girl. I just love experimenting and the hardest part will be the waiting of these pieces to be fired.
I'm also making a slightly bigger mould to make bigger cups - I think I'm one of the people who will need a bigger cup. Are you a small or a big cup-person? :)
In a few days I will post the process of how to use this liquid porcelain clay - I was too busy playing to get pics for a tutorial! ;)
Oh, and the kitchenfloor is not liking me for playing around...
And yesterday, Staci & Alex from 26 Olive Street wrote me that they featured one of my greeting cards in a Storque article about colormatch. A feature that allows you to upload one of your own pictures, add some tags to it & then it will go search Etsy for items in the same color hues. If you are a colorfreak like me, you are going to love this! Make sure to read the Storque article on Etsy.Check out their shop too - it has unbelievable pictures of their items and is just freakin' cool!
Liquid porcelain looks fun...love your results! I'm definitely a big-cup person. Like lots of milk in my latte.
ReplyDeleteIs that the kind of clay that goes nearly transparent when fired???
ReplyDeleteOh please can I come play, I need to make a swirl cup. It has been in my head for ever and a day....
I once did a 3 day course doing liquid porcelain and LOVED it, i wish i could find where to burn it so i can do some more, your work is fab !!!
ReplyDeleteThose I just LOOOVE those cups....mmm, are you going to sell them? ;-)Maybe a cup with creative bubbles? hehehe
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this post! I love porcelain! And I'm a small cup person: love to sip on a very hot coffee, not to drink lots of lukewarm one :D
ReplyDeleteso many links so many links!
ReplyDeleteTHe cups are looking gooooood! I always wanted to play with porcelain. i was discouraged when told that it ussually shrinks a whole lot porcelian. Much more than clay... Some day...

ReplyDeleteLove the result. I can not believe how hard you work, do you ever sleep, Mitsy? :D
Yes, I know how floors don't appreciate this process... I have hardwoods in my studio! Ouch
ReplyDeletebig cup or little cup? I like both and I have a full cupboard to prove it. My favourite cups are the ones thrown by hand and were given to me by my best friend.
ReplyDeleteI love BIG CUPS and I love YOURS :D
ReplyDeleteI love big and small cups.. both sizes come in handy :O) I can't wait to see yours when they're done!
ReplyDelete1) I'm a big cup person
ReplyDelete2) I have a collection of mugs/cups from all of my friends from my days as a ceramics major (we traded with each other often)
3) I'm most certainly going to need a Mitsy mug to add to my friend cup collection! (I hope this is a possibility down the road!)
They are great!!! :) Is there anything you can't do Mitsy?
Lovely cups! Hmm.. big and small are relative, right? ;) I think, my sense for big cup is small to others *lol*
