Oval tile with roses and lace

This tile has a lace decal around the edge of it, and after I fired it I covered it with Rembrandt Lustre and fired it at 800. It was VERY tricky getting the decal cut and to fit the oval!! :-)

I am presently painting another oval almost the same size but with a different border, and they will hang together on the wall in my hallway.

Porcelain Egg Box

I belong to the "Porcelain Painters International Organisation" on a web site, and linked to hundreds of other porcelain painters around the world. This has resulted in some lovely friendships and I will always be greatful to Marci Blattenburger who had a vision to commence this list so many years ago.
Each year some members exchange Christmas ornaments, eggs and boxes and I painted this egg for the 2010 exchange with a lady in Florida, America. I popped some tiny chocolate cream eggs inside the porcelain egg - I could hear them rattling around when I had the box ready to post, but I am sure they will arrive safe and sound.

Porcelain Canvas


This is a 5 x 3" piece of porcelain canvas which I painted last week. It is just a bit of fun and I enjoyed doing it. I think I could have made the focal points (the coloured enamel dots) a little more bold, but I still like it!
