Raku

This kind of firing is so neat. i dont like painting my work so by having a Raku firing would be my thing. i love how it looks all mactallic. it also has my favorite color blue. LOL














This Raku firing was done by somebody named Renee. LOL its not me. it kinda funny that we have the same name and its spelled the same way. i love how there are swirls and still have the blue color.


















This piece is really neat. I love that every raku firing there is also some kind of blue color. in this piece its a dark blue. i think this piece is also neat because for there is different colors. i dont like it how its not really shinny.
