Porcelain

As I've been pondering how to glaze the new little boxes I've been making, I remembered a bag of porcelain clay I had tucked away some time last year....so... I'm thinking that these new boxes should be fairies (not saints) made from porcelain and then not glazed at all. Of course, I'm having to modify the entire construction process since I'm discovering that raku clay and porcelain clay are not at all the same to work with...the raku clay stays put...the porcelain sort of folds over and slides around...I'm hoping I'll get the hang of this soon...these would be something I could actually finish during the months that are too cold to raku fire....and I think they would be really nice outside on garden walls hidden amongst the plants...the white would show up nicely but they're small enough that they wouldn't be the first thing you noticed...I like that.
