Emu Feathers
(Click on thumbnail to enlarge)
These pots were decorated with Emu feathers.
The rust-colored ones were sprayed with ferric chloride while still hot.
The two on the right were re-fired to burn out the feather trailings.
They were broken in the second fast-firing from the extreme thermal shock,
so I sanded the edges of the shards and epoxied them back together.
