Stencil Edge flowers

WOW, this is so delicate! I`d be afraid to sneeze around such a teeny-detailed piece. My clumsy guinea butt would break it in five minutes... beautiful work!

Thanks for your comments Guinea - it's great to get feedback. You''re so right about being delicate. I have to be very careful drying these out as the stencil bits are so thin - c. 1/16" they easily snap if they dry quicker than the rim of the bowl. At the greenware stage, I've broken one just by knocking it as I worked at my table. Should have moved it!!! But my usual mistake is to fiddle about too much, removing joining slip, smoothing edges etc. when I'd be better leaving it and doing it after the bisque. Even transporting it to, and loading into the kiln is hazardous. Very satisfying when they make it through to the end! This stencil was taken from a laser cut birthday card, not sure if it's a bit twee? I prefer my other design - part of a landscape sketch - I feel I own it more because it's my own through and through.
