Still dishing it out

I sat in the sun today and got to work on drawing and glazing my new monster dishes.
Keep in mind that pencil marks burn off in the firing and the colors will be bright and colorful. Right now they are dull and chalky until they are fired again. 

All of the plates are built from a slab of clay that I rolled out, shaped and stamped.  

notice my doodle drawing on the table?

You can see my pencil lines on this one, They will burn off in the firing.

Dishing it out

On Monday I dished it out! I love how these little sweeties turned out. They are all hand built and stamped. I'll be making lots more of these starting tomorrow.

bottom right is my personal fave

The bottom is as cute as the top! These are the feet I made for each dish.

I'll fire them this weekend and have them in my etsy store at the beginning of the week.

I also made some pretty cute square plates, I'll show them when they are completed around the first of the week.

A work in progress

I starting making a platter today. I plan to carve something in the middle, not sure what yet. I moved it to one of my ware boards to dry a bit after this picture was taken.

When it gets stuck....

Because plastic is porous sometimes things get stuck, like plaster. I struggled for a few days off and on to get my plaster unstuck from my bowl, I didn't use a release agent because I forgot to. I went at it tonight with a Dremel tool.

Yay me! So I'm thinking now that I can reuse the bowl by plugging the hole with clay.
