Ceramic Handwork

My hands is on my laptop 9-13 hours a day! Just can't take it anymore...so, I decided to take a break at a potter's house. I paid RM55 to sit on the wheel and started kneading on wet clay. WOW! the sticky cold and soft feelings on my finger was nice. I also throw some punches on it. This is how I released my tension. My life is just like this wet clay in a potter's hands...just as I am....soft by nature, potential in everything, cold and selfish but can be easily form into any beautiful object as the potter wish.

hmmm...how can I make my RM55 worth RM Million?! When I was a kid, I like to store sweet sugar cane juice into a vase and put it on my garden. I will wait for hours to watch ants crawling into the vase and it also attract butterfly & dragonfly too...ahah I've got an idea!

Since I've got time, I'll make a vase with dragonfly sipping sweeties on top of it. To make the vase with dirt ground color, I'll mix glaze potassium feldspar+silica+kaolin+calcium carbornate+zinc oxide. For max terracotta inlaid texture, I will put into a closed door furnance two times between 800C~1200C for 17~19 hours.
