Here are all the plates and platters from this firing. This one came out darker than I anticipated.
Unfortunately there is a little bit of grit on the bottom right of this fish platter.
These two ceder leaf pieces show the brush marks of the glaze and it isn't recommended to spray this glaze because of the copper so not sure what I could do about that.
I don't have enough glaze to dip them and the brush marks don't affect the food safety. So they are what they are.
This geranium leaf platter is my favorite of all the plates and platters.
This is the rainbow trout platter, another favorite.
The leaves look a little stiff on this one to my mind's eye.
It's hard to see the flowers on this one because the background color is a little too dark. More pots still to come, so stay tuned. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Why not make the brush marks part of the design?
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, thanks, I'll have to think about that, I think this glaze would be better on a textured plate perhaps. Gary just advised me that the ceder leaves should be closer to the edge and wrap around the back like they are growing from behind, lol, he is an artist and doesn't know it.
ReplyDeleteFish ones are great and I really like the last one. I have stuff that comes out that doesn't always meet my expectations, but have groan to love when looking again.
ReplyDeleteYep, the last one is my favourite.
Hi Cazz, thanks, you know a lot of time my least favorite one iis the one that sells first at a show. Ha, so glad you like that one.
DeleteI love the fish and the poppies platters. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, thanks, everyone has a different favorite I guess.
DeleteThis is a good array, too. You're on a roll! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lee, thanks, yep and I have another bisque load to do.
DeleteBrush marks can disappear if there are 3 coats of glaze applied for most glazes (I have learned the hard way) But then using them for design is good too. Lovely art gallery, Linda, and I think the rainbow trout is my fav too.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, I did use three coats of glaze but maybe this particular glaze needs more, first time I have used it but looking sideways on the fish platters I can see the brush strokes of the glazing.
DeleteI like the geraniums a lot too, but I think the last one is my favorite, even if the background is dark. I like how you arranged the flowers on it.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, go figure my judgement isn't the best, lol
DeleteThat is so funny, because the last one is my favorite too!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Turquoisemoon, thanks, lol goes to show what my expectations and favorites don't correspond
DeleteI like them all, but I think the first is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks, well everyone has a different favorite, that's good.
ReplyDeleteThese platters are simply lovely. Congrats on being so creative.
