Text reads:
I wrote this 2 years ago, but I didn`t feel like posting it...(too personal).
The last years have taught me though, that the insights of a person who wrestles with GOD`s promises and HIS character, can help/inspire someone tremendously... may it be a blessing for someone this year
so here it goes:
The last couple of weeks have been a struggle for me. The darkness, which the autumn weather brought, crept slowly up towards my heart and I found myself struggling with some personal issues.
More than ever I felt the need for light and encouragement, which I felt had all been depleted during some stormy seasons I had faced during my life... I cried out to God, but God seemed to stay silent.
I couldn`t understand it and the darkness kept on creeping into my heart.
I felt lost...
Somehow I could relate to the words Job uttered when he was at his lowest:
"For my sighing comes in place of my food, and my groanings flow forth like water. … I have no ease, I have no quietness; I cannot rest; turmoil has come upon me."
(Job 3:24,26)
But still, I threw myself and my doubts into his presence... my exhausted and hurt body curled up next beneath his feet. I dug my fingers into the hem of his garment - I didn`t let go. I insisted on his mercy, on keeping his promises.
I cited bible verses, because I wanted to believe it, although I couldn`t in this moment...
silence. frustration. desperation. cry...
I felt unheard and I wrestled with his promises and his character, I thought I knew, I thought I "deserved" to know...
I didn`t let go, although it seemed pointless... silence...no light at the end of the tunnel...nothing.
I felt lost -
I felt so far off, drifting away from him,
I felt like my prayers never even reached his ears.
But I kept on holding on - why didn`t he care? Did he care enough to show up?!? I asked myself pushing closer, whilst simultaneously drifting away in this stormy season...
... But God ...
Oh HIS powerful majesty
HE didn`t let go either...

Danke nochmal
@elisabeth.brenn für das tolle Tool! I love it! ☺️
My first voiceover!👋🏻
Sorry that it`s only in German, but here`s a quick English translation:
I`m showing you the Sgraffito technique today, it`s a technique I like to use on most of my pieces, because I think it`s such a beautiful and quick way to decorate pottery.
So basically you take a leather hard piece (leather hard means it`s stable in form but the surface is still a little moist) and choose a contrasting colour clay slip (liquid clay) to paint on the surface with.
After letting it dry a bit you can now scrape patterns and ornaments into the clay surface to reveal the other clay colour underneath the clay slip! Finished!!

I really need your help for this one:
My fruit bowl "Garden of Eden" is taking on shape.
.
BUT I haven`t decided on the glazes yet, maybe you could help me decide, I`m not sure if I should keep it simple with a white glaze on the red clay or if I should choose some decor glaze and highlight the flowers and branches/leaves with greens, yellows and reds etc.
.
For simple in white glaze and red clay comment ----> ☁️
For colourful decoration ----> 💐
.
I really can`t decide and I`d appreciate your help, guys!
Thanks
Big love 💕💕

It took longer than I thought and it is heavier than I thought.
BUT it is able to hold salad for at least 8-10 people (depending on the salad 🥗😉)
Right size for the family of @dickmannnils
I hope this bowl blesses you as you have blessed me with your friendship over the last (somewhat) 20 years 🥰

Just kidding...
I do love playing with the Sgraffito technique, but it`s VEEEERY time consuming.
How long, do you think, did it take to decorate this bowl (from beginning to finished decorations)?

In the times I`ve felt the farthest
Still your love did cling
.
.
He washed me clean
Clean from all the dirt and all the darkness that I`ve carried around for many years.
.
That`s the point they say:
To realise ones limitations
To realise ones failures
To realise you`re a sinner
And that you need a saviour
.
Because you can`t wash yourself clean
Jesus has to do it for you
JESUS WANTS TO DO IT FOR YOU!
.
Just let him
.
.
Have you realised this?

Apply porcelain slip on a leather hard surface on the pottery wheel
.
Step 1
🧽Take your already trimmed leather hard workpiece and put it on the pottery wheel (moisten the surface with a damp sponge and centre the piece)
💡Pro Hack: do the decorations right after the trimming, so you have the piece already stuck on your wheel.
.
.
Step 2
Take your porcelain slip and stir it
It should have a creamy consistency - it should neither be too runny, otherwise it will drip down your workpiece nor too viscous or dry
.
.
Step 3
🖌️ Spin the wheel on moderate speed and place the brush with the porcelain slip in a straight angle on the surface of your workpiece and let the wheel do its thing
.
Step 4
Voila - You`ve got yourself a straight line around your pot

>> HOW TO <<
trim a trinket box
Step by step
#1
If necessary scrape the bottom of the leather hard pot for better wheel surface suction
#2
Wetten the surface with a damp sponge to obtain a slightly slippery surface on which you can place your pot and whilst the wheel is going you can now centre the pot on the middle of the wheel.
#3
Cut the trinket box open with a sharp pointy knife & remove the lid (put it aside) - I marked the area where I want to cut along during the throwing process (I simply pushed the clay with a blunt tool after the pot has been closed --> would you be interested to learn more about this technique, if yes, let me know and I make a reel on this topic as well)
#4
Take your trimming tool and trim the trinket box the way you want it.
#5
There are different ways on how to make fitted lids. It`s important to decide how you want your lid and your flange: should the lid be embedded/ recessed on your pot or on top of your pot.
This is a matter of personal taste
I chose an "invisible flange"
#6
Trim away any unnecessary clay from the inside of the pot and smooth out the rim
#7
Check the fitting of the rim and the lid
#8
When you`re satisfied with the fitting, you can now take your lid and place it on top of the pot and trim the flange (make sure it is straight and centered on the pot - otherwise it might wobble and you ruin your lid)
#9
When you are happy with the fitting of the lid and the pot you can now trim the bottom of the pot
#10
Finished

🫠 The light was so stunning that morning ☀️ God handpicked some of his finest sun rays!!
.
I just had to capture the sun rays kissing my bedsheets.
But I wouldn`t be a page dedicated to (god`s word and) pottery if I didn`t post a handmade jewellery bowl with this stunning sun rays... Handmade pottery makes any aesthetic even more beautiful ☺️🙃 don`t you think?!

Wheelthrown, white stoneware clay, bisquefired at 900°C, green glaze and white glaze fired at 1250°C
