End Result. Purse Vase Fired.

Three photos . The purse vase has been fired & is now ready to be sold. £125. Has a few glaze misses on the bottom which does nt notice but it means I will not sell it as a perfect item.

The next 2 photos are of some more of my studio. There are a selection of vases ,all around £20 each. These are stock & will go to my outlets that are listed.

"Halla "colletion" Moggies" Peep into my studio, & Purse Vase now glazed & ready

The last Purse vase now ready & on the kiln ,will be ready to take out tomorrow once it has cooled down. It has taked 10 hours to paint & design. I have painted 3 layers of glaze to get the deep colours.

at the beginning

2011 The Start of a New Pot Design.

At last I am in my studio with a "sunny design " in mind. "SUNFLOWERS. I have just the pot. Lovely large flat face on it.
Firstly I design in pencil . The Pot has been fired which is called "biscuit" so it is nice & hard for drawing on. I will post 6 pictures on for you to see how it gradually builds up , then when I have finished & it goes in for the 2nd fireing you will see a remarkable change.
Once I have drawn the design ,I then start to fill in with the glazes ,there will be three coats altogether. The glazes have a vegetable dye in them so the true colours only come out when they reach 1020 in the kiln .
