I love the way my white glaze breaks over top of my tenmoku.
Unfortunately, I glazed one piece first with white and then put
the tenmoku over it. I hated the way it looked. A friend of mine,
however, loved the look and bought the piece. She asked me
if I was planning to make more. I had to let her know it was a
one of a kind piece. (It was one I had made after attending a
workshop, so not one of my regular shapes either.)
