September Colors

Here's the first lidded canister I made. I fired the lid separately and it didn't warp. I have one more of these. I'd like to make a few of these in different sizes.

 Here's the first September leaf I saw the other day, the Autumn colors are slowly starting to turn.

 Here's the yellow tail fish platter. Once again the creamy translucent glaze didn't melt like I wanted. I need to go back to my old standby of satin clear glaze which does much butter. The good news is the platter didn't crack.

 Here's the nandina or heavenly bamboo in September, later the berries will turn bright red, but now they are a dusky melon orange. This landscape plant is called heavenly bamboo but it isn't a bamboo but a drought tolerant plant.

Same thing on this large floral platter the creamy translucent isn't melted enough, but I like how the slip and underglaze colors look when I rub them with my finger to make them look blended, like water colors. I don't know about those flowers, maybe a leaf or several going across one side of the platter on an angle. Hum.

Here are more September leaves of the sumac. Looking at all the changing leaves has me thinking of making an Autumn leaf platter, with some blended colors. Yes, I think that would be nice. Maybe some berries in there too. I'll have to do a few sketches.

I had a bunch of my vine textured rectangular plates in various colors in this firing. I have more to fire too; these sell really well. They're a versatile size and make great luncheon or appetizer or even small serving dishes.

Here are the berries of the sumac. I think that's it for this firing, oh there are a few smaller items. Hope you're enjoying the slightly cooler weather. Here's an Etsy treasury I did inspired by September colors.  It's only slightly cooler here, perhaps where you are it's much cooler. Thanks for reading and for all your comments..
