Glaze firing

I am quite please with the glaze firing I’ve done today I mainly use royal blue  texture autumn and purple. The first mug with dripping marks inside is my favourite one, royal blue was mainly used to paint Chinese blue and white pattern on Bei Jing tea cups. Instead of using  detailed figurative pattern I loosely paint it all over the cup and drip some inside. In my opinion its kind of abstract and expressionist  which is full of the modern taste as well as combine the colour element of blue and white painting form my previous research. The second test works quite well but i don’t like it’s yellowish colour because it doesn’t brings any tea dust feeling. Some green bits peer through the muddy yellow seems a bit playful. Next time I would like to lay more colour        and mix them together. I am really superised with the last purple one. I boldly mix all types of glaze together creating kind of creepy feeling. However I might  not put this effect in my final piece but it reminds me of the colourful back- ground in my sketchbook.
