this was a set of three cups that I made. For each I carved out curves and dimples into the cups and then used stain to glaze the majority of it. I treated the stain like a watercolor and used it very heavily in certain places and then and lighter in others. Each cup is the same size and I used the same stain throughout each. The only different throughout them in the glaze I used in the center of them. Where I used green blue and clear. Carving away at the cups makes them lighter. The one thing I need to work on with cups is that I need to shape them better before I take them off the wheel as well as application of handles and being patient with the proper time to dry.
