Very nice!
Are they mixed into the background and then made into a slab?
And if so, why doesn't the whole thing break wherever the
already fired pieces are?

I mentioned that I wanted to try this a
long time ago, but I have just finished
a load of work I am happy with where
I recycled my old work as grog.
www.ccpottery.com
I take the pieces that crack or warp in
the high firing, smash them, run the
pieces through a rock tumbler to smooth
them. sieve them to sort for sizes ...
then knead the pieces into fresh porcelain.
At first I tried the smaller pieces but did
not really like the results, so moved up to
larger and larger chunks ...
very cool results.
Now I want even bigger chunks of the
pieces since they hold their shapes and
don't fall off.
I know I should stick to my precise, orderly
style, but this is just too much fun.
