clay: votive candle holders

I used a template from Sunshine Cobb’s book on hand building, and I like them. In the bisque, I noticed hairline cracks and decided to let glaze ooze into those defects.           

I dithered for a long while on which glazes, and uncharacteristically went with black on one and caramel on the other. And thought it interesting that a blue green glaze just made each dominant glaze just mottled.                 

I like the masculinity of the Black Pearl and the Teal Appeal is more subtle than I had hoped for.              

And I love the warmth of the Goldrush and could not be happier about the toffee color rendered by the Teal Appeal. I may put it on the Friendsgiving table.
