Im going to try to make a very light (hollow) elephant with a little candle holder on top and spindle legs that have to be joined after firing - with Araldite of course. I love the idea of having a dainty elephant sculpture in my house.
I decided it was time to get myself the wheel I have been wanting for years. Venco Direct Drive Wheel - with standup kit so I can make large pots again! http://www.venco.com.au/wheels/directdrive.htm
This is a simple form made by placing the straight edge of a wooden rib on the near vertical edge of a nice large sized bowl, and angling a flat plane to the width you desire.
The glazing is the special part. I used a cerulean blue with an overcoat of a translucent pearl that is known to run a bit so it merged together to form an appearance that resembles the look of coral through glistening ocean from a plane.
