This funny little vessel/trinket box was thrown on the wheel, trimmed and the pattern carved in the leather hard stage and painted with multi-colored underglaze. It was then bisque-fired, glazed with a high-fire gloss glaze and glaze-fired. To finish, I braided and threaded small Ethiopian beads and a tiny sterling silver evil eye set with a rose-cut yellow diamond onto multi-colored silk beading cord. Finally, I threaded this through a hole in the top of the lid to create a changeable soft opal bouquet. I love this colorful, weird little fig-shaped creation!
