    Hi shelby! I’m an Iranian potter, in Iranian style pottery, all the glazes and stains are handmade and all of manufactured glazes you use are non existent in my country:)) but we use raw glazes like cobalt you used here a lot. For painting and for avoiding these problem you had here, we use Tragacanth. It’s a plant base sap, for making hair gell. You can also use hair gell as well. The instruction is, use 10 grams of Tragacanth in 1 litter of water. Put it aside for 48hrs and then strain it. It gives you a gell-stinky like liquid. Add it to your cobalt as much you think its needed and you’re good to go🥰 btw love your content 😍

    I'm a painter. I experiment all the time. i keep most of those to myself. I can't imagine doing all that in front of thousands of people. You are brave and creative and funny and smart. Well done, chica. Maybe try a plaid pattern with the cobalt. That blue is amazing. The black was fantastic. The pastels were gorgeous. Looking forward to that project.

    When my sister got into cake decorating. She would come to a family event with a beautiful cake and then tell us all the ways it was wrong. I kept telling her, "you're the only one that knows what it was supposed to look like. The rest of us see a beautiful cake." So, exactly what you were talking about. This is a lesson I repeat to myself when whatever I'm making isn't turning out quite as I wanted it to.

    I finally found a perfect super fine line brush! It is the brush from my super thin line eyeliner! It is tough as boots and makes the most precise line I have ever achieved. Best part: I found it at the Dollar Store! Just sharing the luckyness. Those little jugs are lovely.

    They are a wonderful shape! It's always dissapointing when something doesn't turn out the way we envision it but so exciting to try something new 😊 something that has stuck with me was when I offered my friend a "seconds" photography print because the colours hadn't turned out exactly how I wanted and I was never going to sell it. She asked what was wrong with it and once I explained she just looked at me and said, "yes, but I don't know what you had in mind so to me it's perfect". It was a nice reminder to me that although our creative process didn't go as planned it's still beautiful!

    Ah yeah, sometimes things don't turn out how you pictured them or something happens and you go "why did I think that would work?" All you can do is keep moving forward. I love that you decided to just play around with the rest and use this as a chance to experiment.
    They're all pretty! I think the pastel is my favorite but I also really like the black against pastel. The brown is pretty too but I feel like the brown needs to be a bit darker.

    What matters is the end result, and that results as always are beautiful! Thanks again shelby x

    The cobalt reminds me of the transfer printed flow blue sort of style that was common in the late 19th century. It started as mistake in the production of transfer printed patterns in the same cobalt blue, like the Blue Willow pattern, but actually ended up being quite popular.

    I'm sure you've already googled it, but Delftware is made by starting with a white tin glaze over the entire piece, the blue (which often is cobalt oxide!) is then painted onto the glazed surface, and then locked in with another layer of clear glaze. I'm not sure if something about painting onto an already glazed piece makes the cobalt easier to work with or not, but that's how it's done!

      Ahhhh Thank you!! I somehow remember reading something about this a long time ago and didn’t realise it was for delftware! There you go!! I should have looked it up! I think that would have helped as it was just so grainy! I couldnt capture it on camera because the grains were too small to pick up on the camera! But it was either running all over the piece like a water droplet or like sandy gristle. Definitely need to research some more. I also think the clay body I am working with is not the most suitable to it as well!

      @@ShelbySherritt I think, at the very least, having it already glazed would make it a lot easier to wipe off any smudges, but I really don't know haha. I did read that it's typically done with a thick cobalt oxide paint, maybe there's a special paint made just for delftware? Not sure!

      @@ShelbySherritt hi, I’d be interested in watching further exploration with cobalt, it seems like it has a lot of potential. Another comment said to try something called tragacanth to fix the cobalt in a gel suspension. I don’t know what tragacanth is but if it’s just some sort of natural hair gel type product like they said it was, it would probably be possible to do the same thing with flaxseed or chia soaked in water overnight put through a fine colander and have the cobalt stick better with the plant gel than just with water? Flaxseed and chia are easy to find at the natural foods section of the grocery store.

    I REALLY adore the water color with the dark linework over top - the Black really pops, and the brown was so much softer than I expected! But I also wonder what a cobalt piece that was allowed to smudge and be messy would look like - sometimes those imperfections can really make a piece even more charming.

    Well... They are all sweet, but yeah, the pastel with the black/brown details is the best! Good fun pieces all around. :-)

    I still really like the cobalt wash, I know it's disappointing when a project doesn't go as it was intended but it's still quite lovely

    The black one really has some personality. It’s an interesting mix of styles.
