Broomstick Feet

Enjoying the sunshine today while I throw a batch of tumblers. I textured the sides of these using a metal rib which looks a little like tree bark. I wish I had thrown these more narrowly then reshaped them with more of a hip after texturing. They are just a little too straight. I tend to throw very straight and even, but a little boring. I really struggle with creating movement in my pots, it is something I will be working on. These feet are a new technique for me. I saw this on someone's blog, I don't remember whose, but thanks for the tip. I sawed an old broomstick in half and used it to tap the bottoms of these cups and create the undulating feet. I like where this is going. If you look closely you can see the blue paint the broomstick left behind. Hopefully that will fire out just fine.
