![]() The video for "Everyone's Waiting" was filmed in Byron Bay and directed by Natasha Pincus At the ARIA Music Awards of 2012, it won ARIA Award for Best Video. I feel honoured to have worked with such an incredible film-maker." Video Missy said "The song deals with a real inner conflict I went through regarding music, so to personify the water as both my nemesis and then my saviour is pretty spot on when relating to the meaning of the song. Higgins performed the song at the 2012 ARIA Awards, where the single won the award for "Best Video" 11 on the Australian ARIA Chart and was certified platinum. It was the most commercially successful single from the album, peaking at No. " Everyone's Waiting" is the second single from Australian singer-songwriter Missy Higgins' third album, The Ol' Razzle Dazzle. Next blog I’d like to show you the harlequin series of lunch plates I made.2012 single by Missy Higgins "Everyone's Waiting" Now that a couple of people have said they’d like one too I’d better figure out how much clay I used to make it! ![]() It is a comfortable shape to hold, doesn’t fall over and this one doesn’t have any glaze and is finished with terra sigillata. Is anybody using slips on earthenware with clear glaze? Tell me.įinally I’ll add the unusual salt shaker I’ve made. I welcome opinions and comments on any of this technical stuff. Although Clary Illian and Jeff Oestreich use tea-bowls in their work and inspiringly in workshops, for me they are a lovely form but in fact I use mine as sugar bowls. I asked on Instagram and facebook for opinions and folks really liked it too! And yes Andrea M, I drink coffee and tea out of handled mugs too. So white, some pale grey and then the black, applied with a coarse utility brush gave a relaxed stroke. I need bright colours I thought, plus I’d just made up a batch of my intense black slip. The third is my favourite and it was done last when I wasn’t too controlled. This one I really like.Ī small yunomi uses the same colours as the first two plates and is rather dull I find.Īnother one, rather large, has wilder colours and I think I’ll do more of that. As I’ve found before, the blue goes back and the other colours jump out. I then decided to outline the shapes with black, giving it a cartoon look. Take a look.įor the third I chose a darker green to paint over the pale blue and a lighter cream slip for shapes underneath, intentionally leaving blue areas. Fun! But when I finished I realized I hadn’t left any plain blue. I then used the same colours on a slab plate, without the confining rim for its design. You’ll see that the finished plate is still pleasing but isn’t as strong a contrast as at first. ![]() I was happy with the design when I stopped, happy to have left a band of blue for contrast and depth. It turns out that all three are almost the same tone so I’m glad I added black stripes in some areas. Then I chose a colour called Sienna but which is really a browny-pink. I was keen to test a new mid-century pale green I’d mixed so that was painted over the blue. Then, in a Folk Art way, I applied bands of my chosen colours before adding random angular shapes. Instead of using paper resist for jagged patterns, this time I simply painted them. With the plate on my wheel I painted it all over with my Sky Blue. All the pots in this firing were made with D’Arcy red earthenware clay so that does affect the colours applied over. One lunch plate with a generous rim was my first with a new group of slip colours. On my next plates I will use different combinations of colours and again, see the results. In today’s blog I want to think about how slip colours can look very different when glaze-fired from how they are when being applied. And I made a whole batch of lunch and soup plates to paint as I pleased. There are half a dozen new mugs, with a different shape than I usually do, based on how your spoon stirs. I threw yunomis and made slab plates with a plan to use them for colour experiments. I made a loopy salt shaker just because ours is too small and falls over. With no particular pressures to make specific pots in May I used my studio time to make anything other than jugbirds.
