Water-themed glazed medaillons: a leaping gray ray, and water surface in green and gray glaze, over red clay.

Alternate colors for bird-themed medaillons (owl faces, one grey one green, and the side flying raven in grey glaze, all on red clay).

I love the old corroded copper look of the green glaze.

Blue-glazed bird-themed medaillons (a pigeon roosting, a raven flying seen from the side, a pigeon flying from the top) on red clay.

Some more glazed medaillons. Fire, circle, stars in orange-y red on black clay. I might fire it again, slightly hotter, to see if I can get the clay darker without it losing its shape.

last medaillons of this batch: "grey" glazed (kinda dark blue when thick actually) hermine, trilobite, and snake on red clay.

Water-themed medaillons (ray, otter and water surface patterns in blue glaze patterns over a red clay medaillon). I'm trying half-glazed medaillons. I like the colors, and the idea is that someone could get the pattern through touch if they can't see; the glaze is lower, so it both is smooth compared to the rough texture of the clay, and is depressed so it makes the shape clearer (though the shape of the animal, the glazed part, is often in the negative space / depressed one).

more medaillons; a cat-themed batch (waiting to be fired).
