Boat All Primed

Here's another one of my leaf plates with just green glaze and no stain on the leaf. Even without the stain the leaf shows up but it's more subtle. This plate is a good size for a sandwich or salad.

A couple of these will be in my Etsy shop as soon as I get more photographs. Prices listed in my shop include shipping in the United States. I have the last load firing of all the backed up work with one glaze load to do. Meanwhile I've been thinking about what to make to test out my raku kiln.

We've having some sunny weather unlike much of the rest of the country. The boat is all primed and Gary and I are painting it. Gary is making use of the 55 gallon drum I use for barrel firings. Ha.

Here's a sneak peak at the color which is a pale aqua. We wanted it a little darker but since we've already opened the paint this will have to do. Oh, I just had an idea, maybe we can take the paint can back and get a little more color added. I'll have to check into that. I always learn or think of something when I post to my blog so I find it very worthwhile taking the time to write here. We're making the boat two tone, the bottom will be an off white. We're hoping to have the boat in the water by the end the week. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
