In this firing I had a number of leaves. These can be used for a spoon rest, soap dish, ring dish, bread and butter plate, appetizer dish, etc. They are very useful leaves.
Would you believe I don't have one of these on my stove for a spoon rest? I must remedy that.
This and the next two are a larger size leaf I made, about 9 x 6, suitable for a salad or side dish.
And here are a few more of the smaller sized leaves, about 4 x 5 inches.
This is a green celadon over the speckled stoneware.
All of these leaves are made with the speckled stoneware clay. These leaves are a popular seller at the farmer's market so I am trying to stock up before all the leaves have fallen. There are a few more items to show you from this firing coming up next. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Such pretty (and useful) things. I can well understand why they are good sellers.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks, yes very useful, who would have thought.
DeleteLinda, these are so nice. I am not surprised they are good sellers at the farmers market. Isn't it funny that we so often don't have some of our favorites in our own kitchen?
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, yes I must remedy that, sometimes my stovetop is a real mess. Ha.
DeleteNice leaves! Speckled Brownstone is one of my fav clays to work with.
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, thanks, it really is a good clay and so foregiving.
DeleteI love the leaves too, tomorrow we go off to Sunflower Festival in Saskatchewan and I will take several orange and gold sunflower leaves with me. They are a great kiln filler too!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, thanks, yes they are good kiln fillers and when packing they stack up nicely too.
DeleteThey'd make terrific, novel spoon rests. :)
