Pugaboo

ellen currans showed me how to add detail with a handle having the same texture as the center of the platter. it worked very well here, thank you ellen!! you can see the results of uneven spraying in the sort of wavy dark and light spots on the outer rim. too wet.

center tray is done at 5% copper carb, the others at 3 or 4. happier with the 5% but it has to be applied thickly.

This is my newest style of jewelry pieces. I usually do very simple pieces but decided it was time to up my game.

My Falling Brightly jewelry set was inspired by the colors of fall. I made all of the leaf shaped focal beads and fired them in what is becoming my signature glaze.

The larger focal beads I made and fired. This set is a combination of ceramic, semi precious stones, crystals and glass beads strung on silver plated wires.

This set was made using Little Loafer clay, white glaze and laser transfers I printed myself. It's a more simple design than the others but have found it to be very popular.

Here you can see the design silkscreened on each plate. The same screens were used for all 3 plates.

This is the current back of the plate. My logo is a silkscreen. For the next tests I plan to try yellow slip on the backs rather than glaze and also add a design element here to give the back some interest.
 
Oh! And I finally concurred foot rings!

I like the way they stack together mimicking the organic petals of real flowers.

Here you can see how each dish is different but compliment each other since the same colors were used for each but in different ways.

I continued the design work onto the bottoms to give them a sense of completeness.

This is a combination of silkscreening, stenciling and slip trailing. This is my large size mug that holds up to 20 ounces.

This is my current standard shot for a place setting. It clearly shows everything they will be getting with their purchase. This is just 1 of 5 different images including for each online item listing.

My 3rd attempt at a lifestyle image for my etsy shop and online selling. I added a burlap place mat instead of a tablecloth. The napkin blends well with the tones of the placemat as well as everything else in the image so kept the same color of that. I used orange sections instead of slices. Changed the silverware to more generic looking pieces. Added another light and reflector to fill in the side of the mug so the colors match the bowl and plate better. Cropped more of the table out of the back ground.

A 9 3/4 inch collector plate. White glaze laser transfer image of my pen & ink drawing. I added tiny paw prints around the rim.
