Got a head-start on glazing for my Fall Festival/Clay Fest firing on Sunday, doing incense dragons and kitty banks. I'm down to one of the latter, so will have many going in this load, some with cobalt blue stripes, others, like this one, rutile gold.

By the way the device it's sitting on is a banding wheel. It's a little fingertip-driven turning device to spin your pot while you paint bands or stripes of color. I also use it to paint the cobalt lines on my French butter dishes, but mostly to apply wax resist to the bottoms of bowls and plates.
