These nichos are starting to incorporate some markings that I am beginning to consider as "Map Markings." Susan has always been intrigued by maps and now I'm starting to see the attraction.
The color difference (aside from the photo background) is due to the various types of oxide stains I put on after the bisque firing. The stain is applied all over the entire piece and then wiped back off with a damp rag - a very messy procedure - leaving the resulting stain in the markings and texture of the clay.

Are you kidding? Maps are definitely where it's at. Punny, huh? I really do like these, Don, and the map-like marking are great. Keep going, you'll get there. Sorry- I just couldn't help myself.
Happy holidays to you and Susan! :)
These are brilliant. So much detail to experience in these nichos.
I REALLY like these . . especially with the lines and circle!
Great nichos Don!
Keep up the good work! I enjoy seeing what you are up to and where you've been.
