I was looking at Chris Shafale's Pottery Forms site, in the "Plates" section
and spotted 2 interesting forms by you, Earl. (see these at
http://www.lightonecandle.com )

I think we on Clayart would have fun guessing how you made them.....I'll be
the first:

Did you pour slip into a dried-out melon rind or something similiar?

Don't answer until we've had a few more guesses!

Nope, both forms are thrown and altered through sculpting. The one had a second smaller bowl thrown, the bottom was cut off the bowl, the rim peice of the smaller bowl attached then sculpted. No slipcasting involved, no real slip involved.
The sculpting is both addative and cutting away (deductive?).

I'm going to guess it has nothing to do with fruit. My guess is it's a
thrown bowl, filled with a casting slip and set upside down to drain
and create stalagmites. Beautiful, random, unusual, and wow! I dig it.

I got so wrapped up in trying to find the link that
worked, that I forgot that you wanted to guess how
these were made.....
I answered that, sorry.

Earl, look in her side views of pots and there is a line of subjects across
the top, click on plates.

Looks more like a big grapefruit to me. Can't quite figure out what the
photo below that one is, the bottom of the one above? It does look like a
lot of slip was trailed somehow. Looks like a very interesting technique.
