Sometimes I like to actually plan things ahead of time before I plunge right in. So I ended up thinking of a grade school project I really enjoyed.
Remember when you colored a piece of paper with all different, random colors, then covered it in black, and scratched a picture through it? I loved that project.
So here I'm going to do it, only a bit more controlled. My first step is to cover the piece in underglaze (three coats of each color). That's what I did yesterday. Today I'll paint a black pattern over it, letting the color come through in an interesting pattern.
Occasionally you should step outside your comfort zone. It can lead you in new and interesting directions. I'll send another picture tomorrow.
