Orchid Pot

This is a ceramic, midfire (^6) glaze piece I made. I threw it on the wheel, and picked it up a bit too early, thus squishing it. Decided to go with the squished form and squished it more, cut it up a bit, and dipped it in a glaze we happily call 'floating red'. It goes from this light, red, to a deep bing-cherry color, to yellow, to black, to brown if it isn't put in a cooling cycle. It was PERFECT for an orchid so I went and got an orchid. Because I have an addiction to plants as well as playing with dirt. HA!
