I belong to a forum called Chatty Teachers, and someone challenged us to paint a rose "outside our box or comfort zone". I normally take hours to paint roses, but this was to be a quick one fire plate with no messing around!I used fat oil to mix my paint powder, and then thinned it with lavender oil so it glided on the plate like silk. Then I used some gold underlay and swirled on three more roses and flicked on some stems and leaves. After firing I covered the underlay with gold, and painted a few gold lines on my leaves.
And Bingo! The plate was finished.
(Not my usually style - but a bit of fun!)
