I love the disruption to the printing process, usually synonymous with identical copy. Elastic bands make that impossible. They are alive and free. Each unique.

Metal-infused mould casts are out the bisque! Looking beautiful.
Glaze some, reduction fire some.

They will hopefully draw out the metals in the casting. They are tests currently to see which work.

Crumpet clay fired. It has a lovely shine on the interior. So far unrepeatable. Ahh clay, you are both friend and foe.
