It’s Friday I’m in Love

I actually thought of the above song by The Cure from 1992 when I opened my kiln this morning. I am crazy about a new (for me) decorating method that uses fresh Salvia leaves pressed into newly thrown mugs. This group was the second set I’ve made, trying to perfect the technique of coloring the veins in the leaves with underglaze or oxides and then covering the leaves with wax before dipping the mugs in glaze. It is such a pretty and organic motif, and I will definitely be using it on some other objects.
