Second porcelain test piece

The second porcelain test piece came out of the kiln in tact. Although the form has slumped quite a bit in the kiln. As such, it is no longer round but oval and it has folded in on itself slightly. I like the non-uniform shape of it. It is still very fragile.

As with the first test piece, the porcelain has taken the form of the various fabrics very well on the whole. Though the organza hasn't worked as well because it has resisted the porcelain in places. This can be seen at the top of the above close-up photo. Also evident is the stitched cotton fabric where I incorporated a running stitch through the fabric strip. This has also come out quite well.
