Patterns for Silk Screening

I want to use some generic type of imagery for silk-screening, that is, some really simple repetition of shapes, rather than figurative images.
I like dots, and so I  made some grids using little dot stickers.  They seem to come in colors and so I colored them black with a sharpie.

Then I stuck them down onto graph paper to make a grid.

 I made a few copies so that I could add other marks on to the grid:

 also made a grid where they are spaced a bit further apart.

 I also drew a sheet with just straight parallel lines, one with wavy lines, one with a square grid, and some with ovals.  I hope to burn some screens this week. 
 However, after using some of my first screens on clay this week, I find that it's sort of tricky to use them on curved surfaces.  I'm wondering about making some tiles.

Mug Shapes

 On Wednesday, I threw some mugs to explore some shapes, - I liked the posts on the Fine Mess blog about sketching in 3D, rather than on paper.  Although, I did make some sketches on paper first, but none of my mugs turned out to look much like the pencil sketches. 
I used a bit more clay than usual, it seems, because they all turned out a bit larger than I usually make.  I put the handles on yesterday.
I brought them home to work on a bit further because I wanted to do some mishima and needed to catch them at leather hard stage, and i won't be able to get to the studio for a few days by which time they would prob be too hard.  

1. Similar to what I've been making, but narrower at the top.  Also I think the handle is a bit too big

2.   again, big handle, ???

3. similar to #2,

4. shorter and wider , sort of like an old white glass mug

5. More rounded, with low handle, quite big!

6. much like #5, (they all seemed different when I was throwing them!)

7.  this one just looks upside down to me

8. the smallest of the lot, I added a couple of coils around the base.  very adventurous

9.  I sort of like this one, altho again, the hangle seems sort of large. 

 Why didn't I notice how big the handle wer while I was attaching them?

 Last night I did the "carving" for the mishima, and there were a lot of burrs, so I let them out overnight so that I could brush them off this morning and fill them in

which is what I'm going to do right now!
