@@alilaforce7233 Yeah! Thanks so much Ali!! You are so sweet!

[@alilaforce7233]

Very neat to see how small changes in design and tools make a world of difference. Beautiful work!

[@annruel1982]

You are so right. That is what craftsmanship is all about..... Really paying attention to the small details

[@eiyumats6218]

Thank you Ann!

I love them all , each has a different beauty about it 🥰

[@annruel1982]

Aww....thanks so much Easter! It is always good to hear from you. Jim and I really appreciate you watching.

I really liked the 'previously made' mug where the father tops extended below the lower 'boundary'. Sometimes, coloring outside the lines makes things better and that's something I'm struggling to keep in mind these days. Thank you for sharing!

[@annruel1982]

Hey Em! I love being able to demonstrate the technique and then try and give you a sample of the design that is just a little different to show how even little changes can make big differences. I cant do it every time, but I love when it works out like that. Thakns for noticing.

[@streaminvalley]

I love all of them, amazing job!

[@hussicots]

My favourite is the black and white mug that the feathers went over the horizontal lines.

[@annruel1982]

Awesome! I just wanted to show people that it is alright to go outside the lines every once in a while...sometimes it is preferred, right. Thanks so much for watching. Happy potting to you.

[@annagray6491]

These are lovely! Like learning new skills. Are you working onto porcelain?

[@annruel1982]

Hi Anna. I am so glad you liked it. Yes. My favorite clay to decorate is the Standard brand English Porcelain #365

[@tasniah.6453]

Did you put 3 layers of underglaze before starting curving? Thanks for explaining.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

no, I carve when clay is leather hard

[@CeeJayKay]

I have been working on a bowl and made a mistake, scraped away some underglaze in an area I shouldn’t have. And there are indentions from my tool where I scraped. Is there any way to patch that up with more underglaze and Make it look OK after the final glazing and firing?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Underglaze at greenware stage - clean up at that stage - then high fire. Cant fix after bisque, really tough.

[@sarabates156]

Great demo - are you left handed or is this just reversed?

[@annruel1982]

Hey Sara. Thanks so much. Yes, I am left handed although I tend to also do a lot of things with my right hand too. :-)

[@sarabates156]
