Painted goblets



More goblets.

The left two have been sandblasted and painted with porcelain paints. The right two have hollow stems.

Next time I should leave the blasting until after I've assembled the pieces, to avoid the flame-polished areas near the connections.

Still need to work on making my connections look better. But, the lips on the goblet bowls are more consistently round. The shapes of the bowls and feet are improving too.

I especially like the clear goblet. I think I'll make more in that style. Plus, I have a jumping fish stem that is waiting to be put into a goblet.
