The surface of this cup was scratched with a sawzall blade. The background in this photo reminds me of a sunset
Ajira snapped some photos last night of pots I decorated with the sawzall blade. It was fun to experiment with the light and background. Check out more of her photography at ajiradarchphotography.com

When I made these marks, I held the pot on my lap with a hand on the inside for support and with a firm grip on my tool pushed the blade down and at the same time slid it sideways towards me. This made the sweeping marks. On others I used it to make a straighter mark more like combing. Some I did from both directions. It was fun exploring what could happen.

nice, love the scratches
Thank you. At the moment I like surface scratches, fluting, faceting, and texture for decorating pots.
Those are lovely. Did you make a set?
no set really but I did throw them all in the same session so I could play around with surface texture and my new favorite tool. Thanks Karima.
