Let's talk about a bulbous mug

Hi Internet world, 

Worm Ceramics here. I just wanted to share this post about one of my flower mugs that I recently got back from the studio. 

I made four of these free-form mugs on the wheel, which was really fun and experimental because I didn't have to worry too much about pulling up my cylinders perfectly, since I was going to play later on. 

My favorite tool, a sponge on a stick came in handy when it came to forming the curves and different dents in these mugs. 

The most laborious part was after I painted on the white flowers with underglazes, because then I had to coat them in wax, dip the cups in two glazes, and then do the clean up work. 

Unfortunately, the underglazes kind of got scraped off in the cleaning process, but the runny mason stains that I sprayed on after the glaze had dried turned out really cool and I like the effect. 

Maybe I'll go heavier on the green next time and not bother with the yellow drippy stains, I still have two more mugs to decorate.
