Poppies


Recommended Posts

Thought I'd start a new thread to show the stages of making my own "Tower" poppies.

 

 

I'm so pleased with the way they turned out. I will be making a donation to the Royal British Legion and Help for Heroes charities.

 

 

This is stage 1:

Stage 2:

And here are my two finished poppies together with an actual "from the Tower" poppy.

I had no idea how big (small) the real ones were, I looked at the videos of them being made and guessed.  I have another two (smaller, but not as small) in bisque waiting for more glaze/underglaze to be purchased.  The one on the left has two coats of red underglaze and three coats of red glaze. The one on the right is three coats of red glaze as I ran out of underglaze.  Fired to ^06.
