This pattern is named ‘FantasticSea’.

I am an avid scuba diver and love to share the underwater experience through my art.

This illustrates the way the soft corals, fish and grasses move with the restless ocean currents.

 

 

 

 

While I was examining these bowls in the sunlight, I noticed another thing.

There was an inner pattern totally separate from the surface patterns.

The inside moves with the direction of the rolling pin regardless of the outside appearance.

There are three layers, connected, but moving about at their pleasure.

These lines were even softer and since they were on a white background it was easier to see what happened to create the shadows.

It was the first sweep of the rolling pin.

The reason I believe this is that I always roll each piece several times in all four directions yet only one really shows up.

So, the first horizontal sweep shows as well as the first vertical one.

My next efforts will be directed at more control over them by placing different pressure on the rolling pin during the creating process.

 

This is a piece of the “Diva” Dinnerware Set created with ordinary Southern Ice Porcelain.

Notice that there is very little movement of the pattern and the only shadows you see occur from the slight variation on the other side of the dish, not from an inner movement.

This was my attempt to create a quilt pattern using multi colors and stripes with paper porcelain.

The lines were far too wavy and soft and they wandered all over the place, appearing to be mistakes rather than a conscious design.

I have not yet discovered why the lines behaved so randomly.
