Este jarrón lo hice con la técnica de churrito, para después alisar la superficie y esperar a que esté en su punto exacto de firmeza (que se seque un poco, pero no tanto) para poderle hacer mi textura mar, una vez que le hago la textura mar empiezo a hacer los corales para después agregarlos uno por uno a la pieza.
La parte mar azul la esmalto con cobalto y esmalte transparente, los corales es lo interesante aquí porque me gusta que tengan profundidad y no sólo un color, por lo que la pieza termina yendo al horno 3-4 veces en total. Aplico un pigmento en los corales para que vaya a su primera quema de esmalte donde la textura mar ya nos presenta ese azul profundo que vemos, el coral a cambio se ve "meh" en mi opinión, es por eso que le agrego encima otras capas y vuelvo a mandar al horno. :))

----
This vase is made using the coil (churrito) technique, after which I smooth the surface and wait until it reaches the exact leather hard state I want (when it has dried slightly, but not too much) to apply my mar texture.
Once the mar texture has been carved, I begin making the corals, which are then added to the piece one by one.
The mar section is glazed with cobalt and clear glaze. The corals are the most tricky part for me in this piece, as I like them to have depth rather than a single flat color. Because of this, the piece goes through the kiln 3–4 times in total. I apply pigment to the corals for their first glaze firing, where the mar texture already reveals that deep blue tone. The coral, however, looks a bit "meh" at this stage (in my opinion), which is why I continue layering additional applications and firing it again.
I also like the form where the mar texture is to feel slightly irregular, because this is where the organic gesture of the piece becomes even more visible.
