I've had this old cupboard for years. Until now it's always held the 'potions' like oxides, lustre and essences. But I decided to repaint it and put a display into it. Some of the work I want to revisit and try to take further. I'm having a bit of a clean up so that I can start working on the next batch of pots.
Here are some bowls that I've tried some different approaches on. I'm not too sure that I like the background. I've grown so used to the cream slip that the blue doesn't really work for me. I may try using the bird drawings again on a cream background. I had also thought of using some gold lustre on them but that may be just adding too much to the cost of producing them.
I like the blue backgrounds!
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret, I think the blue looks nice in those bowls. It's not too strong and doesn't take away from the images. Anyway, just thought I'd give my 2 cents. I've been wanting to add a bit of color. I'm sure I won't like what I come up with, it's hard to introduce something new. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteI love your lettering - the font is really effective. Is it stamped onto the clay?
