Huh....didn't think it would work!

Bart's mug Circa December 2013
Recently I noticed on some test pieces little letters I had written near the bottom of pots using china marker. I glazed over the marks and they show up. So, I reasoned that maybe if I did a big drawing on a pot and glazed it might show. So...I grabbed one of the wonkier mugs I had thrown and bisque fired and dashed off a little doodle. I glazed the mug thinking the drawing wouldn't come out. It did!  Now I'm wondering if I can get away with drawing on other pots and glazing over them. Stay tuned...
Think I'll keep the mug.
