One of my favourite books is by Haruki Murakami
It made me start working on something like this





but I haven't been able to cast this type of shape
without it cracking. I guess there is a lot of tension with the corners.
I have to try a trick, mixing paper pulp in the plaster/silica mould.
That should make the mould more flexible and maybe leave room for the glass
to contract in the annealing?

I want to use this spotted look again and again
and I am working on smaller things with a hint of use





in two days my kiln will be cooled down and ready to open
for some more spotted tests in a different shape to come out..
