Spoon Rest – Fancy Keyhole 2

I hadn’t photographed these yet, but I was doing a project with clay (which you’ll see later) and I had to mix lots of dried clay and reconstitute it. I had clay sludge everywhere. I needed a spoon rest for the big plastic spoon I was using to mix, and set it on this.  When I went to wash it off, I had a hard time cleaning all the wet clay off.  Then I realized that the pale grey streaks were part of the glaze.  It’s nice to do practical art, because then you have interesting tools and vessels lying around in the studio all the time.
