Espresso cup. I love the blue flash on the green glaze. Happy accident. I need to make it a happy done-on-purpose. *sold* 💚 💙 💚 💙 💚 #happyaccident #creativityeveryday #color #pottery #ceramics #espressocup #coffeelover #pottersofinstagram #porcelaincup #homeart #onmytable #handbuiltceramics #etsy #etsyhandmade #etsymudteam #clayartsutah #lithologyceramicart https://www.instagram.com/p/CmJxGBfJb_2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Total glaze failure, and I absolutely love it. 💙💙💙 #glazegeek warning. This is my blue crystalline glaze. As is true for most crystallines, it is very finicky. Even though I use smooth porcelain, I have to burnish the piece to create a perfectly smooth surface for the crystals to form. The glaze must be exactly the right thickness when applied, because it needs to move (aka: run and drip) in the kiln, so the height of the glaze area is also important because it can change the glaze’s “runway.” Finally, the kiln must reach top temperature quickly, then cool to 1970° and hold there for 4 hours. Everything has to be just right. 🐻 I believe the cold, wet weather made the bisqueware slightly damp when I glazed this cup, so it didn’t hold as much glaze as it needed. I’m doing test tiles to reproduce this result, because today’s fail will, hopefully, become my new favorite glaze. I love these variations. Especially how it changes with the height of the glaze area (see last photo). It’s like three glazes in one! #failureisalwaysanoption . . #failureispartofsuccess #happyaccident #creativityeveryday #pottery #ceramics #crystallineglaze #etsy #etsyfinds #etsymudteam #clayartsutah #makers #makersmarket #potteryofinstagram #handmade #handbuiltpottery #handmadeisbetter #lithologyceramicart https://www.instagram.com/p/ClBtsK3rRDN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Now that the kids are in school, I've been doing some illustrating! and this was a happy accident from part of the designs I made. I would love to put this on a plate, or a poster, or something bigger than a greeting card. What do you think? Hoping to make some exciting products next year. Happy fall and school year! ♥️ . . . . . . #kaleidoscope #patterndesign #artlicensing #cynlapatterns #happyaccident #platedesign #cynlagreetingcards #cindylacollaart #patternedgoods #designaday #patternlove #kidsatschool #plates #homedecor #makeartthatsells #illustrationagentwanted #greetingcards https://www.instagram.com/p/CiOW9ozum1z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
