New Large Slab Vases

I have been working on some new large slab vases while waiting for my kiln parts.  I cut the slabs out using tar paper templates.  Once the clay is the correct firmness I assemble them using foam and card board supports.  After they are together I make a lot of different markings on the clay using various tools.  It is a totally random free flowing process.  The finish on the outside of the pieces will be done with stains which is something new for me.  The inside will be glazed with a satin white glaze.
