Revisiting Backyard Wetclay Mandala


Disturbance

It rained! Note the sand-heavy soil of my back yard! 
Lots of marshes on this part of Earth's crust.  
Mythological has become Scientific: 
Geologic, Anthropologic 
Chronologic
(logic)


I bisqued the commercial clay pieces from the "backyard mandala" (see previous "Verb assignment" posts) with dirt still on them.  Some unexpected orang-ish dust became more evident after the firing.

I plan to display these without glazing them. Perhaps a clear coat or resin over the interesting particulates that add to their history.  

I should add My Backyard as a "location sample!" More on that (my Ceramics Handbuilding class final) [soon!]
