One way to get this stretched effect is to apply the tecture and then
expand the pot from the inside only. Example: textured vase. Pull up a cylinder to the height you want. Cleanup and texture the outside. Then go inside with a rib and push out to get the shape you want. The texture will now be stretched over the expanded surface.

lol. I was sitting in bed last night and was wondering how I could use the
wicker on my bed. It can be a sickness definately. The leave idea is nice, but sorta bad time of year for that one around here. The leaves in this area are turning and dropping, so most are already too brittle. But I did just notice some flower bulbs that have just started growing that I am will give me some nice texture. They are really long, so I am even thinking on weaving a few of em and seeing how that applies to the clay. |

thanks, I will try that. I will be throwing soon also, so rollers like that
would work nicely on the wheel. |

"Raj V" wrote in message ... I've used leafs and grass to good effect. Some of that long ornamental grass. Cockle burrs. Used a pine cone. Broken ends of sticks. Wax resist is nice. Paint your pattern with melted wax and use a damp sponge to lightly remove what is not covered. The contrast of the groggy and smooth surfaces is nice. There are just a zillion possibilities. Go wild. Your imagination is the only limiting factor. I think the rice problem is overblown, but with so many other possibilities available, use something else. Have fun, Raj |

On the contrast point, I have thought of making a thin clay mixture and
painting it on for texture and design. |

I hadn't thought about using bark. I might play around with that some and
see how that turns out. Thanks |

years ago a TV commercial showed their hand lotion used to re-invigorate an old
dry leaf. i wonder if that works? old dry leaves look like they have a richer texture. and as they rot out they expose those inner fiber veins. they'd make interesting fossils. steve Subject: Texture ideas please From: "Meridith Davis" Date: 10/23/2004 3:18 PM Pacific Daylight Time Message-id: lol.
