This small coffee cup is slightly crooked, but I love its texture and roundness. It feels a bit sandy under the fingers and it fits perfectly in my hands. Note the furry ballerina paws in the background. They are a perfect backdrop to any pictures.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n My January gift<\/strong>: a wallpaper of a very snowy forest in Sutton, where we used to live. You can download it by right-clicking on the picture. Choose “Save image as”.<\/p>\n My best wishes to you for 2017; happy drawings, paintings, collages, pottery and what not! I’ve started working TODAY on a brand new project, besides my current obsession (pottery): a drawing a day for the next 365 days in parallel to Priya from the Plum Tree. I’ll share the details in a next post.

\nMushroom: black underglaze and clear glaze on clay #519, black slip and clear glaze on speckled clay, grapevine glaze on clay #519<\/em><\/p>\n![\"Mushroom\"](\"https:\/\/www.datcha.ca\/la_datcha\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC_0014.jpg\")
The only drawing that came out as I hoped was this mushroom painted on a small disk. The combination was perfect: right amount of underglaze and transparent glaze on top. I applied a thin layer of the latter with a sponge and it seems that this is what works best. It didn’t make the drawing fuzzy like the other ones<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Snow](\"https:\/\/www.datcha.ca\/la_datcha\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/foret01.jpg\")
