Yesterday I called these salad plates. Today I staged them as sushi plates. I decided the little plates were too large for condiments so I've made some smaller ones today.
Here's the green one without a small leaf plate.
Here's the melon orange one, with the smaller condiment plate clearly being too large. I still think a shrimp salad on a bed of lettuce would look scrumptious on this color plate.
Meanwhile I loaded a bisque of all the large pots I've made recently and I am firing it overnight. I'm sitting on pins and needles, hoping they all turn out OK without blowing up. Before I loaded them I dried them on the back porch for several hours. Next I sanded the bottom edges on a large piece of foam to support the edges as I slowly rotated them around while sanding. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Fingers and toes crossed for the bisque firing.
ReplyDeleteLike the sushi plate idea, and will smaller condiment plates they would be perfect.
Hi Sue, thanks, mixing and matching the sizes. Ha.
DeletePottery can be such a crap shoot! It helps make life exciting!
ReplyDeleteThe sushi looks terrific on your plates. YUM!
Hi Suzi, thanks, I was telling myself I had to have 'nerves of steel' ha.
DeleteGreat idea to take photos of your work with food on it! I love the way these colorful glazes looked in these photos too!
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, trying to remember to take the photos more often, means waiting to eat it. Ha.
DeleteThe leaf plates are perfect for sushi!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the firing. When we are worried about pieces we always preheat for a couple of hours keeping the kiln under 200 degrees. Sometimes we then shut it off and fire it the next morning.
Hi Michele, thanks, was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked; I never preheat but did 15 minutes this time.
DeleteLove the leaf design and plate colors! Sushi heaven! Hope the firing worked out!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kittie, thanks, yes we are loving the fact that I learned how to make sushi, at least a one way anyway. ha.
DeleteFabulous idea!! Love sushi and those plates make it look so appetizing.
ReplyDeleteHi Turqouisemoon, thanks, home made food on hand made plates.
DeleteI'm smiling to myself here...I have a bowl similar to yours. My late brother bought it for me...it is blue-glazed pottery. It sits proudly, always, on my coffee table.
ReplyDeleteHi Lee, thanks, how wonderful to have that bowl as a gift.
