If you've been hanging around here for a while, you'll know that I LOVE to experiment, and I'm usually throwing something new into the mix. I mean, what's the point of playing around with clay if you're not gonna play around, right? 😄
Try something new and see what happens! So much fun! 🤓🥰
So, I started messing around with adding coloured stains into my white clay a while back. I've got some blue and yellow and green... but I'm really interested in figuring out pinks. I have a real thing for pink lately! ☺️🩷💖💞
I also have one stain called Blackberry Wine that I've been trying out. It's supposed to be a rather dark, almost burgundy colour... IF you add enough.
The last few times I've used the Blackberry Wine slip that I made it came out a sort of mauve colour (I need to add more stain to make a darker shade). But this time it became a lovely shade of gray! Not sure why that happened, but here we are 😂
For some reason, I REALLY love the colour gray! I would probably have my entire home in gray if I could, although my husband probably wouldn't appreciate it 🩶🩶🩶 😂
Anyhoo... so I painted the outside of this cup in the Blackberry Wine slip, and then I added some loose blossoms with a slightly thicker plain white slip, and then another layer in pale pink slip.
And now you have this lovely little gray tumbler, with just a hint of textured blossoms, lined with a soft pink glaze.
And I love her so much ☺️💖💞
