The Gulf of Mexico has me fascinated as I imagine runoff from Kansas travelling into it, salt domes underneath it, dying coral, wonderful fishing and fragile ecosystems all together. Click any item below to go to it's page, where more information Currently available :

| 3.5" high Bottom half exterior is sediment fgrom Orcas basin. Interior glaze is celadon, assembled from refined materials. | | | 4.75" x 2" Porcelain This has Orca Basin sediment thin and thick -- doing all it's good at doing. Writing is into a wash of it on leather-hard clay -- zoom in to see better. Black slip glaze on rim and foot are assembled from refined materials. | ||

| 5" x 3.75" Porcelain and sea glass center Brown is the marine sediment. Rim and foot are lavender glaze assembled from refined materials. | | | 5.25" x 2.5" Porcelain and seaglass center. Brown is the sheer lustrous marine sediment. Click for bigger images to read back. Rim and foot are glaze assembled from refined materials. | ||

| 4.5" x 1.75" Mappable because detailed coordinates are written on the back. Keep clicking to see larger images. Translucent porcelain -- this is a precious one -- lavender rim, blue glass center the rest is marine sediment melted. | | | 10.5" x 4" Chatter band and interior rim are from Orca basin. Lavender glaze on the back was assembled from refined materials. | ||

| 5" x 3" Orca Basin sediment on translucent porcelain with celadon exterior glaze -- lots of salt blush from metallic oxides and salt in the sediment vaporizing and interacting with the silica in the clay. That process resulted in forming a glaze on the bare clay. | | | 11" wide Rim of Muscongus Bay, foram speckled interior from Ceara Rise and exterior of Gulf off Mexico.

| 10" x 3.25" Exterior band, describing this Gulf of Mexico ecosystem says," salt domes - genetic floe - bountiful - thriving or declining - co-evolving." Other glazes, assembled from refined materials are copper green, matte robin's egg, and rutile slip. | | | 10" x 3" Interior marine sediment thickly applied, exterior is same material thinly applied and band of writing says, "Gulf of Mexico - colonizers offering genetic contributions - co-evolving zones - a NOAA Large Marine Ecosystem." Rim and center is a brown shiny glaze that contains some Red Sea colorant. Central bird was filled with clear crushed glass. | ||

| 10.5" x 3.75" Exterior band says about interior marine sediment glaze, "Gulf of Mexico - salt-tektonics - oil - bluefin tuna habitat - outflow - co-evolving colonies." Writing was done into leather hard clay after applying same marine sediment thinly. Other glaze is celadon, assembled from refined materials. Central; gull filled with clear sea glass -- this has subtle plays of texture and color I wish I could repeat ion demand. | |||||
