Winter has me craving flowers and color so I decided to make a couple of floral platters. You'd never know that this plate was wiped clean and made again. I'm using a combination of stains and underglazes.
Hope everyone is surviving the cold and snow. We got what amounted to nothing. One of these days I hope we get a winter wonderland. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Hello Linda,
ReplyDeleteYes, there is definitely something about the winter months that makes one look forward to the flush of flowers in Spring. So, your floral decorations are a happy sight to cheer this otherwise grey day.
Hi Jane and Lance, thanks, yes we need some color for these grey days for sure.
DeleteYour platters feel like a meadow in a spring breeze!
ReplyDeleteNo spring breezes here, but not as much snow or wind as predicted.
And no power loss!
Hi Suzi, thanks, a meadow in a spring breeze, I like that; oh so most folks lucked out with the storm thanks goodness.
DeleteI always crave flowers in the winter too, thanks for showing us some, they are great.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, thanks, I didn't realize I must be craving flowers till I started making these. Ha.
DeleteWhat I like about the top one is that the colors are ALL OVER the plate, not confined to the flowers. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteHi Barb, thanks, yep that was the one I erased and started over. Ha.
DeleteI love the patterns on these platters, Linda!! That's a tongue-twister!
ReplyDeleteHi Keith, thanks, platter patterns, Ha, good one.
DeleteI hope our next winter wonderland heads south for you. You'll be making many, many more flowers to forget the weather! Lovely, by the way.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, thanks, it seems most storms just pass us by which is probably a good thing but I always think if it has to be cold why not some insulating snow.
DeleteBright, vibrant, charming...
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks, hope they look good after firing.
DeleteLookin' good! While you are hoping for snow, I am hoping we don't get any this year.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, well as far south as you are that wouldn't be a good thing, but here in the mountains I wish we'd get one good snow, it usually melts right away but the views would be nice for one day.
